In February, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine entered its second year and by mid-October another war between Israel and Hamas erupted. As world leaders split their focus across two fronts, debating cease-fires and humanitarian pauses, while fighting internal battles over aid to Ukraine, the human cost of these wars continues to rise.
The U.S.’s military commitments to Ukraine dwarf those of other countries. Germany is the next most significant donor, but even the sum of all EU members’ military commitments to Kyiv comes up short of U.S. contributions to the tune of €2 billion.
