Please note that the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU) is a financial initiative created to provide military support to Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion. Established in 2022 by the United Kingdom and Denmark, the fund has attracted contributions from several countries, including Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, and Lithuania. Australia recently joined the effort with additional funding.
The Fund ensures the efficient allocation of resources to meet Ukraine's most urgent defense needs, enabling the provision of long-term military support while simultaneously maintaining the readiness of donor countries' own armed forces.
