The US under Obama began supplying 90% of Ukraine's military, security, and defense aid in 2014 when Russia first invaded. We have been training the Ukrainian military with other allies since that time as well. Between Obama and Biden, Ukraine's military has been transformed. Meanwhile, Trump's extortion (and the Republicans refusal to hold him accountable for it) that, in no small part, emboldened Putin. The US didn't delay in doing the right thing, except when a corrupt serially bankrupt lapdog of Putin tried to break up NATO and withheld the aid from Obama's program for two years.

@spartanx9293 - Exactly. 2014 - "...the United States committed more than $600 million in security assistance to Ukraine between 2014 and 2016, including body armor, night-vision goggles, vehicles and training." 2017-2019 - "...Trump first approved the sale of $47 million worth of 210 Javelin missiles and 37 launchers to Ukraine in December 2017. Delivered in April the following year, they were not deployed to the front lines of the still-simmering separatist war. Under the terms of the sale, they were kept boxed in a military storage facility far from the front lines, where they were to serve symbolically as a “strategic deterrent” to Russia." "In the summer of 2019, Trump froze an additional $400 million in congressionally approved security assistance to Ukraine, an action that later became a centerpiece in his first impeachment. Based in large part on a July 25 telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that year, in which Zelensky expressed interest in buying more Javelins, Trump deflected the request and instead asked Zelensky for the “favor” of digging up dirt against then Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, and the Ukrainian business dealings of Biden’s son, Hunter." 2021- current - "...Since August [2021], U.S. military aid to help Ukraine repel Russia has surpassed $3 billion under Biden."
