Original Note:
Misleading. Appropriations are approvals, not mandates to spend immediately. https://www.house.gov/the-house-explained/open-government/statement-of-disbursements/glossary-of-terms For eg., Of $113B aid appropriated by 05/24, US sent $53.7B. Of extra $61.7B appropriated in 05/24, only $5.9B was to be sent in FY24. https://www.crfb.org/blogs/congressionally-approved-ukraine-aid-totals-175-billion By 10/24, total aid US sent was $90B (88B Eur), not $177B. https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/
