WASHINGTON, Sept 6 (Reuters) -

Pennsylvania, Arizona and Texas are among U.S. states

benefiting most from funding and investment to arm Ukraine in

its fight against Russia, a breakdown of spending by the

Pentagon showed on Friday.

Pennsylvania, a swing state in the Nov. 5 presidential

election, has received the most of any state with $2.52 billion

in spending and investments to build arms and ammunition in

support of Ukraine's effort to repel Russia's invasion,

according to Pentagon documents released on Friday.

Ten months ago, the Biden administration first started

circulating state level data on Capitol Hill to gather more

support from Republicans.

Since last year, the Biden administration has been

emphasizing that many of the weapons sent to Kyiv would be

replaced through billions worth of new contracts won by U.S.

companies that employ U.S. workers.

Companies such as RTX's Raytheon in Arizona, which

makes Patriot missile systems, and General Dynamics ( GD ),

which makes the artillery shells that are manufactured across

multiple states including Pennsylvania, Ohio and Texas, have

seen billions in contracts.

Arizona saw $2.02 billion of spending and investments

related to Ukraine, while Texas had $1.85 billion.

Friday's documents gave a state-by-state breakdown for the

$41.7 billion worth of purchases, investments, and replacement

spending on all manner of systems across more than 35 states to

support Ukraine.
