What is the name of the country that is supporting the entire civil service /government of the Ukraine? It is Americans who are $35 trillion in debt. What country has lost over 80% of its power grid and electric power plants, 40% of its territory and 40% of their population? The Ukraine.

You are a nasty, little paper hanger.

Depending on how you count it, US aid to Ukraine is roughly 1/3 of all aid -- military and humanitarian -- from NATO and other Western allies.

US aid to Ukraine corresponds to about 5% of our military budget and the total so far amounts to less than one-half of one percent of our circa $35 trillion national debt.

The Ukraine."

80% loss of power could well be true in some areas, but not in others, and the overall number will vary from day to day, depending on efforts to repair and restore existing equipment, plus bring online new power sources, including imported electricity.
Most of Ukraine's 15 nuclear reactors are still operating normally meaning the average loss is maybe 40%, still bad but manageable.

40% of Ukrainian territory is not even close to the actual, which is: Russia occupies roughly 71% of five eastern oblasts (Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhya, Kherson and Crimea), and that is circa 16% of Ukraine's total territory, depending on which estimates you use
Those numbers have not changed significantly since the end of 2022.

40% of Ukraine's population is only correct if you start from its 50 million in 1998.
20% is more realistic based on Ukraine's 2020 population.

"The Ukraine" -- a term only used by devoted Russian propagandists these days.

What is that, language they use in your home country, comrade?
I've never heard that insult used in this country, so tell us where you learned it?
