Arms deliveries to Ukraine fell sharply in 2025 compared with previous years, according to a new report by analysts at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

The study notes that in 2023 and 2024 Kyiv received record volumes of military assistance from Western countries. By 2025, however, the flow of weapons had dropped significantly. The report does not provide exact figures, but researchers say the amount of transferred arms was markedly lower than in the two preceding years.

Analysts attribute the decline primarily to a reduction in military support from the United States. At the same time, European countries — along with Canada and Australia — continued to deliver large batches of weapons and signaled their intention to maintain such assistance in the future.

SIPRI also emphasizes that despite the slowdown in shipments in 2025, Ukraine remains the world’s largest recipient of arms when the entire 2021–2025 period is considered. According to the institute’s data, the country accounted for about 9.7% of all global transfers of major weapons systems during those years.

The United States, Germany and Poland emerged as the largest suppliers of weapons to Kyiv over that period. Washington alone was responsible for roughly 41% of all arms deliveries to Ukraine.
