Slovenia's total aid to Ukraine, channeled through various sources, amounts to roughly 452 million euros, according to data from the Kiel Institute. When adjusted for Slovenia's economic capacity, this places the country in the middle ranks of nations providing support.
Ukraine has received a total of 358 billion euros in aid, with European countries becoming the primary providers since January of last year. Of Slovenia's contribution, approximately 142 million euros is direct assistance. An additional 300 million euros represents Slovenia's share in collective European aid efforts, supplemented by a further ten million euros from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
