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.

It would be nice, but they just don't have "more" militarily. Much of what the UK is giving is stuff that is available surplus because they are downsizing again. Germany is a mess we have already discussed. France maintains a parity with Germany, so they are largely in the same boat. What can happen, and is to some extent, is that the EU can pony up the money to keep Ukraine going economically. The Dutch can help there as well, even though militarily they are not in a position to help.

Man, I'd love to go down this rabbit hole, but I don't want to experience the same fate as Phogge.
