Original Note:
US aid is actually $74.3 billion, not over $113B as this tweet claims. This includes only aid sent to Ukraine and excludes other war-related spending. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts#:~:text=The%20Joe%20Biden%20administration%20and,Economy%2C%20a%20German%20research%20institute. The $113B figure includes other related expenditures to other countries, as well as unspent funds. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/congress-approved-113-billion-aid-ukraine-2022
