This indicates that the US has given more aid to Ukraine than the next 8 biggest contributors combined. And there’s a significant dropoff after the that next group of 8. Really it’s the US and then everyone else. That is not to say the US is wrong. I’m suggesting that others, especially those geographically closer to Ukraine, need to pony up more.

To be fair, we should look at the donations in context of country economy size. Looking at donations as a share of GDP, Estonia, Czech Republic, many of the Baltic states are in to top of the donation list.

In 2022 we gave about 23 billion in military aid (about as much in economic/humanitarian aid, much of which is loans). That’s about 0.1% of GDP. Estonia is up over 1% or GDP.
