The EU recently announced they will give $54 billion in aid to Ukraine, in addition to over $70 billion already sent.

The States sent over $70 billion in aid so far.

Everyone is pitching in, man. Except China. 🙄

It's great that the USA has sent 70B so far, but it's very concerning that Republicans have been blocking the government from sending any more.

In Washington, the outlook for President Biden’s $61 billion aid package looks bleak, as Republicans continue to stall aid from the United States, Ukraine’s largest single military backer to date. Meanwhile, Kyiv is running short on key items, like artillery shells and air defense missiles, that it needs to hold Russian forces at bay.

If it is the right/sane/moral thing to do, Republicans will always try to block it.
