€200 billion is the US defense budget for 3 months (the budget is about $900 billion annually). So I don't think it's as big a number as it seems.

- TrackerFF 2y agoIt's around 1 year worth of aid. Since the beginning of the invasion (February 2022) Ukraine has received approximately €400 billion in aid. The silver lining is that the war costs much more to Russia - and that economic damage is accelerating as long as the sanctions are up. Russian interest rates being over 20% is a sign that things are starting to turn dire. Whatever booming economy they're reporting, is a economy cannibalizing itself. So, if Ukraine has the means to keep fighting, that will weaken Russia financially.
