The figure is nearly 30% higher than in 2024. Key support areas included weapons and ammunition, air and missile defense, joint arms production, logistics, training, and repairs.

More than $6bn was invested in Ukraine’s defense industry, including through the Danish model, while almost $3bn came from profits generated by frozen Russian assets in the EU and the UK.
