Demanding 500bn in return seems quite a bit. https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-demands-500b-in-rare-earths-from-ukraine-for-support/ https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-demands-500b-in-rare-e...

I didn't mention this topic. The issue is that neither Europe nor US are currently willing to allocate the resources necessary for Ukraine to win. Whatever, whoever, gave in the past is irrelevant now.

  No it’s not irrelevant it’s still owed.

EU funds are contributed by more than 27 countries, none of whose individual contribution comes close to what US has contributed. According to official gov website of EU and US * EU has allocated $145b + $50b[1] * US has allocated $174b [2] $500b is too much but considering how Ukraine has been losing valuable resources to Russia, it's only fair to ask for some security. According to your article, this was the "Victory Plan" all along and Zelensky agreed to it.

    Germany has 16 states France has 27 states Poland has 16 states Bulgaria has 28 states Italy has 20 states so on... Shall we start counting state wise?

      And the US has over 3000 counties, many of which are comparable in size and population to those states; compare apples to apples
