The United States has also invested in international programs to attract foreign investment in small and medium-sized businesses.

Military assistance

Over the past year, the United States has spent about $ 118 million on improving Ukraine’s defense capability. This money was spent on the purchase of body armor, helmets, vehicles, night vision devices and thermal imagers, heavy engineering equipment, modern radio stations, patrol boats, rations, tents, anti-warning radars, uniforms and other things.
