The US had given the Ukraine $5 Billion since it broke away from the USSR in 91, this was spent on a wide range of projects, the truth being not the armed forces, especially in the later years having Yanukovych in charge ( he massively cut the defence budget , many look at that as unarming the Ukraine so Putin could invade Crimea and the Dombas area )
