From @wgeary:

On March 20, Congress passed the first of three aid packages, tacking on $13.6 billion in aid onto the massive $1.5 trillion omnibus appropriations for FY 2022, the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) explains. This was followed by a standalone aid package in May, which contained the major portion of the aid at $40 billion. The third aid package, passed in September, was attached to the continuing resolution and provided $13.7 billion in aid through December.

The three packages combined totaled $68 billion in aid, but on November 15, the administration submitted a new aid request of $37.7 billion. If passed, this would bring the total amount of aid to $105.5 billion. This new aid package is designed to last through the end of the fiscal year (September 30, 2023), but at the current rate of spending ($6.8 billion per month), it would only last until about May.

Unless the war ends or settles into a stalemate, it is likely that the administration will need to ask for additional funding at that point, according to CSIS. The future of the aid and its potential impact remains to be seen.
