Quick takeaways

- Growing fiscal constraints and lack of significant gains for Ukraine call into question the sustainability and prioritization of U.S. investment in the conflict.
Deep dives
Amount of aid provided to Ukraine
The United States has committed over $113 billion in aid to Ukraine, including military aid. There is a pending request for another $61 billion in aid. Depending on whose accounting you're working from, the total amount could approach $200 billion if the most recent request is granted. However, public opinion on the necessity of U.S. involvement has declined, especially among Republicans.
