Washington promised to spend almost 47 billion dollars on weapons and equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine from January 24 last year to January 15 this year.

The UK is the second largest donor with commitments of $5.1 billion.
With additional pledges of nearly 37 billion euros, in December the Americans allocated just over 73.1 billion euros to support Ukraine. For EU institutions and member states, the comparative figure is 54.9 billion euros (data up to January 15). pic.twitter.com/koyoTu1aFS

As of last month, “only 48 percent of the committed external budget support has been paid,” they say.
