Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine has officially received more than 900 tanks, 1,300 infantry fighting vehicles, 800 artillery systems and 100 air-defence systems from the United States and European countries. The figures illustrate the scale of Western military support accumulated since the war began.
Poland has been the largest supplier of tanks, delivering 254 vehicles of various types, according to the Kiel Institute data cited in the report. The Netherlands supplied 86 tanks, Germany 78 and Denmark 57.
The United Kingdom leads deliveries of artillery systems with 94 units, while the United States has supplied 290 infantry fighting vehicles. Germany has officially provided 30 Gepard anti-aircraft systems, two Patriot systems and two IRIS-T systems, according to the same assessment.
The report says many of the tanks and other armoured vehicles supplied by the United States and European countries have been destroyed during the war. It also says surviving tanks are increasingly used for indirect fire rather than their traditional battlefield role because of extensive drone activity.
European countries have increased military assistance, but that growth has not prevented overall support from declining, according to the report. Average monthly military aid to Ukraine has fallen by roughly €500 million compared with the level recorded in previous years.
The decline comes while Ukraine faces continued pressure on its air-defence network during large Russian missile attacks. The report points to two strikes in early August as evidence of the strain on available defensive capacity.
