Ukraine has pushed back against US demands for a $500 billion fund that would be part of a deal to give Washington a cut of the country’s mineral wealth, a Ukrainian official familiar with talks said.
Ukraine is arguing the actual amount is about five times lower at more than $90 billion, said the person who declined to be named because the talks are private.
To date, we have provided $65.9 billion in military assistance since Russia launched its premeditated, unprovoked, and brutal full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, and approximately $69.2 billion in military assistance since Russia’s initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014. We have now used the emergency Presidential Drawdown Authority on 55 occasions since August 2021 to provide Ukraine military assistance totaling approximately $27.688 billion from DoD stockpiles.

looks like they haven’t found their list, otherwise it would be removed, i guess.
in case they find it: https://archive.ph/5xzGu
69.2 + 27.688 = 96.888
And on top of that I recall the occasional claims that not everything that was promised was always delivered?
And what happened to the lend lease thing? Didn’t a bit chunk come from that so Ukraine needs to repay it in any case?
