Except that most of that started only after Russia's invasion plans became apparent. Ukraine been asking for support ever since 2014, received only a little of it.

Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $5.6 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including security and non-security assistance. In 2021 alone we committed over $300 million in assistance to support Ukraine’s democratic and economic development, and over $650 million in security assistance. https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-ukraine/ https://www.state.gov/u-s-security-cooperation-with-ukraine/
