US military aid to Ukraine worth $24.2 billion: what has already been delivered in 2022 and what is planned to be delivered

Before the start of the work of the new American Congress, the Department of Defense of the United States of America published data on the current volume of aid to Ukraine.
From February 24, 2022 to January 6, 2023, the administration of US President Joe Biden decided to deliver various military and various other equipment to Ukraine with a total value of 24.2 billion dollars, while it should be recalled that the total budget of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine for in 2022, originally amounting to $5.1 billion plus up to $1 billion in government guarantees).
It should be emphasized that the list includes weapons and equipment that have already been delivered to Ukraine, but also what the US has committed to deliver, including orders from manufacturers for Ukraine's needs, some of which will be realized in 2024.
What is on the list of what was given and what was promised.

And also a lot of reconnaissance and attack drones, anti-drone equipment (guns and radar), demining and barricading machines, medical equipment, explosives and communication equipment.
In addition, the US provides various services used by the Ukrainian armed forces, starting with satellite images, repairs, spare parts, and training soldiers. And this partially answers the question "what are you doing there in the Ministry of Defense?!".
If we consider that the American tactic consists in stimulating the strong participation of other partners (in fact, the meetings in the Rammstein format speak for this), help is necessary.
Ukrainians would like more and faster. But it's like this.
At the beginning of January 2022, it was categorically impossible to act with "stingers". Impossible. They appeared only at the end of January from Lithuania (the first 100 pieces). NLAW and Javelin arrived in mid-January.
When you look at this list today, you have extremely mixed feelings.
