Wrong. And since you want to be a little shill, here is an official source
January 19, 2023 The United States is announcing a significant new security assistance package to help Ukraine continue to defend itself against Russia’s brutal war... This package, which totals $2.5 billion, will bring total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to an unprecedented approximately $27.5 billion since the beginning of the Administration.https://www.state.gov/significant-new-u-s-military-assistance-to-ukraine/
Note that isn't since the war began in Feb 22, it's back to 2021. And it's $27.5 billion total up to the present.
Where did you get the $200 billion number? Oh, that's right, your ass.

He obviously got it from the article that he linked which itself cites the Ukrainian government. However, it's not clear what support they have for that number. There are 2 distinctions: (1) money "promised" versus money "sent;" and (2) military assistance versus humanitarian and financial assistance which are counted separately. You are referencing military assistance only. The chart in the linked article that indicates the ~$200B cites the Ukrainian government and the Kiel Institute. I didn't look very much at the Ukrainian site. The Kiel Institute only indicates $48B in total assistance through November 20, 2022. Perhaps the Ukrainian government has some propagandistic talking point wherein they interpret/value certain promises at $196B or perhaps Fox News is pulling that number out of their asses. The Kiel Institute is set to update for recent spending tomorrow so perhaps that will be illuminating.
The US hasn't given anywhere near $200b to Ukraine. Maybe $20b total at this point.
