Two years after the start of the large-scale war, the dynamic of Western support for kyiv is losing momentum: newly committed aid is down over the period from August 2023 to January 2024 compared to the same period of the the previous year, according to the latest report from the Kiel Institute, published in February 2024. And this trend could continue, with the American Senate struggling to pass aid, and the European Union (EU) having had every difficulty in have aid of 50 billion adopted on 1is February 2024, due to the Hungarian blockade. Please note, these two aid packages are not yet taken into account in the latest assessment made by the Kiel Institute, which ends in January 2024.
Data from the German institute show that the number of donors is decreasing and is concentrated around a core of countries: the United States, Germany, the countries of northern and eastern Europe, which promise both high financial aid and advanced weaponry. In total, since February 2022, the countries which support kyiv have committed at least 276 billion euros on the military, financial or humanitarian level.
In absolute terms, the richest countries have been the most generous. The United States is by far the leading donors, with more than 75 billion euros in aid announced, including 46.3 billion in military aid. European Union countries announced both bilateral aid (64.86 billion euros) and joint aid from European Union funds (93.25 billion euros), for a total of 158.1 billion euros.
When these contributions are compared to the gross domestic product (GDP) of each donor country, the ranking changes. The United States has fallen to twentieth place (0.32% of its GDP), well behind countries neighboring Ukraine or former friendly Soviet republics. Estonia takes the lead in aid relative to GDP with 3.55%, followed by Denmark (2.41%) and Norway (1.72%). The rest of the top 5 is completed by Lithuania (1.54%) and Latvia (1.15%). The three Baltic states, which all share borders with Russia or its ally Belarus, have been among the most generous donors since the start of the conflict.
In the ranking of the percentage of GDP, France is twenty-seventh, having committed with 0.07% of its GDP, just behind Greece (0.09%). The aid provided by Paris has been in constant decline since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – France was twenty-fourth in April 2023, and thirteenth in the summer of 2022.

The accident left 1 person injured and required the intervention of firefighters specializing in extrication from the municipality of Saint-Germain-de-Grantham confirms the spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec, while the director of the Saint-Germain fire department , Mario Vaillancourt, met on site, specifies that around ten firefighters were needed for the extrication intervention.
According to a witness met on site by Vingt55, the driver of the vehicle would have attempted an overtaking maneuver, “a bus found itself in her lane, the driver of the car tried to return to her lane while she was overtaking one of the trucks”, specified the witness. The impact was very violent, the lady hit a first truck while re-entering the lane and was pushed by the second while the two trucks maneuvered to avoid hitting the vehicle again, ending their race in an exit from the road .
The driver specified for her part that she noticed a significant and sudden slowdown, wanting to check the reason, she moved to the left and then actually returned to her lane. That’s when the transport truck hit the rear of the vehicle, then throwing it toward the truck in front.
Under the force of the two impacts, his vehicle was thrown towards the shoulder, a witness confirms that one of the heavy vehicles must have also been surprised by the slowdown caused by the school bus which had turned on its flashing lights in the lane reverse, which would explain the impact with the car.
