While the latter is true, you might look at the source:

This is the way #NATO military 🪖 economists compare defense spending. 😉

Besides, your assumption is incorrect:

This is not spending for #Ukraine, but *total* military spending, as a share of GDP.

This is the customary (and methodically) correct way for economists to compare national expenditures for FDI, education, you name it, across borders.

The bottom line is:

Even though US military..

"923 russian armored fighting vehicles were destroyed in October 2024.

It's the highest monthly number since the beginning of the invasion.

On average, Ukrainian warriors destroyed 30 AFVs every day.

Our fight for freedom continues."

North Korea's foreign minister arrived in Russia on Tuesday for talks as the Russia-Ukraine war appeared to take a dangerous new turn, with NATO and South Korea expressing alarm that North Korean troops could soon be joining in on Moscow's side. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen speaks to Dr Samuel Ramani from the Royal United Services Institute. He says that the vast majority of North Korean troops will become 'cannon fodder' on the Ukrainian front.

Ukrainian spies say they have intercepted phone calls from Russian troops saying their military’s integration of North Korean soldiers isn’t going well. On audio released by Ukraine’s spy agency, Russian soldiers sound doubtful they have enough commanders and weapons for the new arrivals. On one call, a Russian soldier was “outraged” that armored vehicles in short supply were being given to North Korean troops. Read more from @USAToday.

If you are so generous to Russia, why not give a piece of your land? Why should any sovereign country satisfy Russia? On what grounds does Russia deserve something — especially someone else’s territory?
