something like $200 BILLION dollars to rebuild their country?

Actually no, the IMF gave something like $70 billion to Yeltsin and the Oligarchs in loans (which they promptly stole) and Putin's government has already paid off that debt.

But thankfully you don't represent US opinion in showing others gratitude for their help. Nice to have adults in charge of the country.

Monetary figures I offered no basis in fact (bad memory) apologize to all. Never claimed to represent entire US opinion and thank you for encouraging me to be more grateful for Russian assistance.
