This is AI, but I think if you check it is correct:

AI Overview
Of the approximately $182 billion in total US assistance to Ukraine reported by the Pentagon's inspector general for the response to the invasion, almost none was from the first Trump administration (2017–2021).

The vast majority of the $182 billion—roughly $175 billion—was appropriated by Congress in supplemental legislation between February 2022 and early 2025 to address the full-scale Russian invasion, a period falling entirely under the Biden administration and early 2025 into the second Trump term.

Here is a breakdown of the aid, as of early 2025:
Aid Since 2022: The $182–$188 billion figure covers five major pieces of legislation starting in March 2022, which included military, economic, and humanitarian aid.
Trump Administration (2017–2021): While the Trump administration authorized the first shipments of lethal aid (including Javelin anti-tank missiles) in 2017, the total security assistance to Ukraine during that four-year period was significantly lower than the current figures, totaling in the hundreds of millions annually, not tens of billions.
The 2025 Context: According to a December 2025 report, since Trump reassumed office in January 2025, there was no legislation for new aid authorized, though disbursements of aid appropriated during the Biden administration continued, and some deliveries were temporarily paused.

What the $182 Billion Covers:
It is important to note that not all $182 billion went directly to Ukraine. According to analysts, a large portion of this funding was used to:
Replenish US defense stockpiles (sending weapons to Ukraine and replacing them with new ones manufactured in the US).
Fund US military activities in Europe (Operation Atlantic Resolve).
Provide economic support to the Ukrainian government to pay for non-lethal needs (salaries, energy grid).



Bold, my emphasis. And I doubt that anyone can honestly say that this administration has not been coddling the Russians, and the war criminal Putin.
