    We haven’t given them anything close to that. The amount is closer to 17 billion.

    Your amount is close if you count the aid Ukraine has received from everyone who’s supported them.

    Russia's military is a high percentage of its GDP in part because Russia pushes social welfare down to its Departments (states). Russia all boosts no deficit spending- at the federal level.

    Your amount is close if you count the aid Ukraine has received from everyone who’s supported them.
    It was 54 billion in May of this year.

    Not all provided by the US. The US has given them slightly more than 16 billion dollars. That’s a lot of money. You can argue that even that amount is too much, but it’s not nearly as much as you falsely claim.

    You err. I described only what the US gave.
