Good article from Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) which analyzes what was in the recent $61 Billion foreign aid package that triggered Congress slithers into waving little Ukrainian flags in chambers.

Details indicate that Alexander Mercouris (Youtube) was correct in saying very little of the money actually translates to weapons in the Ukraine.
There's an explanation saying, yes - we gave the Ukraine missiles with a 300 km range, but we altered the software to prevent them from launching that far and instead they cannot cross the Russian border.
Total formally given so far -with this latest adjustment: $175 Billion
We never know how much money the US actually has provided because Black Ops expenditures do not have to be reported.
Article confirms that there's a gap indicating some of the funds actually repay defense contractors for weapons previously provided.
There are 'forgivable loans' which the Dems like to emphasize, but since Biden isn't going to be in office then they probably aren't going to be 'forgiven'.
I found the CSIS page by reading the comments under a video. Kiev Panic, Budanov Blames Syrsky, Troops Surrender, Shoigu Runs Rus MIC, Belousov DefMin, about recent Russian advances/Ukrainian loses. Here's the comment:

- CSIS recommendations are decoupled with reality and the prerequisites required to expand military industrial production across the West to catch up to Russia; - The New Atlas
