Demokratie ist leider nicht selbstverständlich. Diese Community ist für alle, die bereit sind liberale Demokratie, Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Meinungsfreiheit zu verteidigen und um die im Laufe der Geschichte gefallenen Helden zu würdigen. Schwurbler, Monarchisten, Nazis, Tankies und andere Fans von Autokratischen Systemen oder Personen, die den Begriff „Demokratie“ beschmutzen sind nicht erwünscht.

I'm totally behind the sentiment, but can we get more info about this data?
Something feels off, specifically in how much the EU has out forward.
Also - this is peanuts. The US spends like 10x that, every year, during peace time.
Ukraine out there fighting an evil world power all by themselves and they're barely getting scraps, this is fucked up... I really hope the EU steps up big time, with that rumoured €700B military spending bill.
The values in tweet's USNews screenshot seem to be citing "Kiel Institute for the World Economy", containing data up to Dec. 2024 : https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/
The data can be downloaded as XLSX from here: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/publications/ukraine-support-tracker-data-20758/
Direct link to data: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/fileadmin/Dateiverwaltung/IfW-Publications/fis-import/f319e1c8-5654-4cd6-b4c7-5722ae437d30-Ukraine_Support_Tracker_Release_21.xlsx - files with makros and live update can contain risk, please be careful
And in XLSX tab "Fig 2. Country Groups (stacked)" there are the numbers and the bar chart comparing "United States" and "Geographic Europe".
Thank you, much appreciated!
