How does European financial support for Ukraine compare to US aid?
According to the Kiel Institute for World Economy, Europe has allocated 132.3 billion euros to Ukraine over the past three years, outspending the US's 114.2 billion euros. European countries have contributed more than America in almost every aid category except military spending. This collective European aid includes both individual country contributions and EU funding. Despite providing greater overall financial support, European leaders express frustration about being sidelined in negotiations regarding Ukraine. Meanwhile, President Trump has called for all European nations to increase their defense spending to at least 5% of GDP, though most European countries currently spend only around 2% on defense.
