Several US states have profited from providing military support to Ukraine.
The Biden administration has released data on which states have received the greatest financial benefit from providing military aid to Ukraine. This analysis was done to strengthen support from Republicans who oppose continuing military assistance.
Although three of Pennsylvania’s eight Republican members of Congress voted against funding to help fight the Russian invasion, data from this analysis shows the Keystone State received $2.364B, the most of any state, through spending and investment in arms and ammunition production.
The state of Texas received $1.45B to produce shells and other weapons, although 18 out of 25 of the state’s Republicans voted against aid to Ukraine.
Arizona, where three out of six Republican representatives voted against aid, received $2.19B.
Moreover, companies in Wisconsin, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Arkansas received contracts worth more than $1B. Manufacturing plants in two dozen additional states received another $18B.
