25% comes from the US, but if you order by GDP(second graph), US is fourth. So overall a very big contribution, but far from "all". And about "negotiations" specifically, you're simply wrong - the ones keeping an open line with Putin (for zero gain so far) are Macron and Scholz (both say it's with Zelensky's approval, and he hasn't disproven them so they're probably not lying).

- ryantgtg 4y agoAren’t we mostly giving that money to US defense contractors? Raytheon Technologies, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing are getting the bulk of that $40 billion.
- lazide 4y agoNothing like giving away the ‘about to expire’ food (I mean missles) to refresh the pantry - and all for a good cause of causing grief to historic opponents who are acting somewhat comic book evil at the moment. We don’t talk about Iraq of course.
- sofixa 4y agoAre you under the impression that Ukraine is a part of the EU or that helping Ukraine defends itself means anything for the defence of the EU? Both of those are untrue. We are all helping Ukraine because it's the right thing to do (being invaded by a genocidal regime is not a nice thing to happen to anyone).
