    Note: Japan and Canada would rank fifth and sixth internationally, but
    are excluded from this chart because they are not European countries.


    European countries’ role is even bigger when considering their gross
    domestic product, which is the standard measure of a national economy’s
    size.

    Nineteen European nations are spending a larger share of GDP on Ukraine
    than is the United States. Atop the list are many countries near
    Ukraine’s border — including Poland, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech
    Republic, and Slovakia — which are supporting refugees fleeing the war.

    The U.S. stands alone in providing the most military aid to Ukraine,
    accounting for more than half the international amount.



    19 European nations have provided more in aid to Ukraine as a percentage
    of GDP than the U.S. has
    Bilateral assistance, in blue, includes military, economic, and
    humanitarian assistance. Refugee assistance is in orange. Amounts shown
    are aid as a percentage of gross domestic product.
