Nice set of charts to put US aid in perspective.

For more than a year and a half, the US president has followed up that tough talk with American dollars. The US Congress has now authorised more than $110bn (£89bn) in aid to Ukraine. That includes:

$49.6bn in military assistance
$28.5bn in economic support
$13.2bn in humanitarian aid
$18.4bn to boost US defence industry capacity

As of 9 August, the White House said it had spent 91% of the allocated funds. The administration is currently asking Congress for an additional $24bn in aid, including $14bn in military support
.


I'm a little surprised that France & Spain aren't in the Top-10 chart for aid. Little surprised that Japan is on the list. Also disappointed that Taiwan is not on the list (but maybe told not to donate much so not to aggravate China).





No surprise on US, Germany and UK. Again, surprised by France & Spain not on the list (but probably because they are further away from the conflict).
