That number is how much Russians have destroyed in Ukraine and not how much any country has given them.

In addition a lot of the aid the US sends is counted in dollars, when it shouldn’t.

Why not?

Example - America sent 30,000 105mm artillery shells from army reserves. The chances of the US army needing to fire an outdated 105mm shell in anger is about 0.0%. It most probably costs more to safely dispose these shells than to just give them away.

You do realize that the Russians have habitually been dropping 40,000-60,000 artillery shells a day given various operations, etc.?

Sending Ukraine 30,000 artillery shells was what, charity, or an indication that Ukraine’s artillery is near non-existent when compared to massed Russian artillery?
