34% of Ukraps speak Russian. Around 81% of Ukraps speak "Ukrainian", which is the slack-jawed, eastern version of Russian. It's like Armenian with eastern and western dialects, but they like to call it "Ukrainian" for political purposes.

Ukrainian are *Little Russian*
This video moved me. If Ukraine wants to separate their religious identity remove the word "Orthodox" & replace it with the The Church of Ukraine or similar - it remains the same but gives a definite stamp of independence. If having fun, be it traditional or modern is "degenerate" in Russia then let them be miserable. I am a pensioner recently diagnosed with cancer but when my treatment is finished & I am able, I want to try to raise an LGBT fund for Ukraine. I appreciated the beauty of both sexes & refused to allow others to stifle my curiosity - neither is bad, they're just a little different. Nobody is the same, it is good to embrace life fully whatever your preferences. The important thing is to treat others well & the right to be happy. I hope for better times to come soon for all of the people of Ukraine.
There is an Orthodox umbrella that has recognized the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as separate from the Russian Orthodox Church. There is no reason for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to stop using the name Orthodox. There are lots of different Orthodox Churches, including the Greek Orthodox Church.
If you want to give pieces of advice to Ukrainians and how to name their Orthodox church please learn the history of Rus and Ukraine! Rus and then Ukrainian land and its capital Kyiv have continuous 1000+ years of Orthodox Christianity history with the center in its capital Kyiv since the X century. Rus and its heir Ukraine with its civic and religious capital Kyiv were 1000+ Orthodox, but Moscowia and later the Russian empire, Red Russia, Russian Federation, and its center Moscow became Orthodox 700+ years later than that of Ukrainians!
Moscow was part of the Golden Horde and later till the XVIII century a dominion of Crimea Khanate was forcefully converted by a tsar to Orthodox-like Christianity at the end of the XVII century. De facto Moscowite(Russian since 1721) Church was fully controlled by the tsar till 1917 and at that time all Moscow patriarchs were frequently assigned if not by tsars explicitly, but by tsars' general-prosecutors, after 1917 communists obliterated tsar-controlled Moscow Orthodox Church, almost nothing left, after 1943, the Moscow Orthodox patriarchy was explicitly recreated and controlled by Kremlin communists and the Russian political police AKA NKVD, later KGB, and now FSB, so technically dictators like Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Andropov... ruled, and Putin now rules the Russian "Orthodox" Church. BTW Russia hasn't finished a formal process to be recognized by a main for all Orthodox Churches Constantinople patriarchate, which means the Moscow "Orthodox" Church has no right to be autonomous on itself. FYI Moscowites were "старообрядцы"( the Central Asian branch of Christianity) and till the end of XVII century Moscowites recognized any European Church including Ukrainian and its local Orthodox center in Kyiv and a main Orthodox center in Constatinopol and Catholicism with a center in Vatican as heresy, i.e. an Asian branch of Christianity dominated in the Moscow Church about 400+ years ago recognized any Orthodox Church, including Ukrainian Orthodox with a center in Kyiv, as heresy!
Good information. Ukrainian history is long and complex and I can barely begin to understand it. I read that Stalin liquidated the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in 1930 as part of the Russification process and attempt to wipe out Ukrainian identity. Hundreds of bishops, thousands of priests, and even parishioners were arrested. Some were jailed, some deported, and some killed. Ukrainian Churches were even smashed down. I’ve seen photos of bell towers broken and the church bell shattered on the ground. This makes the Russian church an interloper, brought in along with the Russians who replaced the millions of Ukrainian farmers starved to death in 1932.
Putin seems to have an extensive and deep-seated identity problem. He can’t feel Russia is great without Ukraine (Understandably. Sometimes Russia’s relationship to Ukraine seems like a little kid dressing up in their parent’s, ie. Ukraine’s, clothes. Russia wants to appropriate Ukraine’ glory.)
Putin rules a country with a hundred ethnicities, 3 or 4 religions, and a hundred different languages that have never been fully Russified. Yet he thinks Ukraine should belong to Russia because of genetics. He doesn’t know that Russia isn’t a nation but just a country that should be called Muscovy with a lot of mostly Asian colonies. He doesn’t know that a nation isn’t a nation because of what race lives there, but by culture and values.
Ukraine is similar to Russia in that there are many different kinds of people there, Slavs, Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc., but they all make a unified nation because they want the same kind of European-style democracy, and they have shown again and again that they know how to get together and fight for it. In Ukraine their ideology unites them in spite of their differences; in Russia the different ethnicities divide them. The minorities don’t enjoy the style and quality of life enjoyed by the Muscovites. They are not Russified; they are subjugated. Russia tries to rob them of their culture, but does not replace it with full participation in the larger entity.
It’s rich that Putin recently said Ukraine has no ideology. Ukraine knows exactly what it is - and what it is not. The war has brought all that in to sharp focus. On the other hand, Russia, including Putin, are at a loss to know who they are as a people, where they are going, and even what they want to do and where.
As Gogol (who, incidentally, was Ukrainian) said in Dead Souls: “Russia, where are you hurtling to? Give an answer! There is no answer.”
It is said that you may travel far and wide seeking your heart’s desire and find it only when you come back home. Putin would do well to look to what needs to be done at home and leave other countries alone.

Православна віра так і залишається називатися. Просто в Україні досі існує Московська церква яка підкоряється Росії. Православні люди є також у Румунії,Грузії, Греції і так далі
You're saying that Ukrainians should be forced to be in the power of a country that has mistreated them for centuries? For instance, the ones who in 1932 starved up to 10 million farmers to death because they didn't want to be communists? It's a horrible way to die, and watch your loved ones die. Russia kicked them out of heir homes in the dead of winter, took every bit of food and any possessions of value that they might have traded for food, declared all food property of the state and severely punished even a child who picked up a grain of wheat dropped in the field after haravest for stealing? Set soldiers around villages so the farmers couldn't go somewhere else for food? That's just one of the many acts of a country you would like to send Ukrainians under their tender mercy. Look at the destruction and death and bombing - they bombed another maternity hospital today, btw. In 1990 Ukrainians set up camp for the Revolution on Granite and did hunger fasts to fight against being part of Russia. in 2013-2014 a million Ukrainians all over the country revolted and occupied city squares in the midst of a bitter winter, in the Revolution of Dignity to keep separate from Russia. I'm sorry that it offends your tender feelings to see so much death and destruction. It hurts me. It hurts most onlookers. But Ukrainians deserve the right to decided their own future. If they lose support and become conquored by the Russian empire, they will continue to fight to independence until they get it. It is in their character. The 2013-2014 revolution was originally called the Euromaidan, the revolution to be connected with Europe and join the EU. The name changed to make it clear that they would have no dignity if controlled by Russia. Ukrainians want freedom and democracy. In Russia a young woman put a small sign in the supermarket replacing the price tag. It said the Russians bombed a theater and killed 400 Ukrainians. One person saw it and turned her in. She was sentenced to 7 years in a penal colony. And this is the authority you want Ukrainians to live under? They know exactly what they are fighting for and against. If Putin gets to keep any part of Ukraine he has won and will come back for more, more of Ukraine, and then more countries. Poland and Finland are building up their armies. France is helping Estonia build up its army. They understand the larger picture. Putin has said he won't stop with Ukraine, and he won't. He will wait for the West to weaken and start picking off countries like the communists did, and like. Hitler did. Wars are hideous and the sooner they end the better, but not by losing. Hitler had to be stopped. Putin has to be stopped. If it upsets you, look away. @@SebiAlan-tq3xq
There are so much more cultures that are being denied in countries where some people within it do not feel attached to the country. Are DW ever gonna talk about it?
Like atrocities against the Polish people in Volyna or in the present when minorities can not use their mother language, burning up offices of minority representatives, threatening them. Main stream media is silent about them like rat crap in the elephant grass.
Russia is waging a bloody war with half a million casualties and tens of millions of refugees. Putin says that after Ukraine he will go to Europe. does it remind you of anything? What other cultural denials are you talking about?
No. This job is left for you. Everyone is free to selectively choose what they want and what they don't want to talk about.

Beautiful to see the Ukranian Church and all the people celebrating the Holy Spirit. It is Vibrant and very Spiritual. Really glad the Ukranian people are taking back their heritage and rejecting the Russian Oh So Not Nice Way.
It's the same as in America, where monuments to slavery and racial violence are being torn down and some moved to museums. They are history, and a museum is a place for history for any monuments you want to preserve. But they do not belong in public spaces because they clash with our culture of freedom and equality. In Moscow there is a museum of fallen statues full of Soviet figures. Statues of Stalin lie on the ground or have broken noses. Sadly, now new statues are appearing, though up until this year they have been erected on private property by private groups. Putin put a bust of Stalin up with public funds on public property this year, in a process of rehabilitating Stalin so he can emulate him. People are buying into it and now see Stalin as someone who made Russia great and an important country, although he did make a few mistakes. Glory to Ukraine! May all Ukraine's friends rally and increase support to defeat Russia as soon as possible. Enough of this "as long as it takes" nonsense! "As soon as possible" should be the new slogan, with actions to match. Victory to Ukraine!
I made an error above when I said "Putin put a bust of Stalin up with public funds on public property this year." It was put up before Putin's visit, not by Putin but a private organization.
The bust of Stalin in Volgograd was paid for by a pro-Special-Military-Operation group and erected near a public museum but probably not public ground.
@Jyshrii Second 'As soon as possible' . No more dawdling!
Thank you very much for your support! It is very nice to see that our partners see that we are changing, that we are growing, we want to be with you, with the Western World, but also to restore our culture. Merry Christmas to you =)
Exactly. An important part of understanding one's history is to see that not all of it is deserving of celebration. We must be strong and honest enough to not hide or ignore, but to recognize the parts of that history that we must regret or be ashamed of. We can only get better if we know our past and learn from our mistakes.
That is why Muscovy is doomed to continue to fail and eventually fall, unless it begins to recognize its mistakes. Instead, they cling to a myth of a great "Russia" that was always right. In fact, more and more they are making it illegal to even discuss those periods of their history that contain events that are seen as "problematic" (e.g. The first two years of WWII, when they were Hitler's allies).
God Bless Ukraine...
Never give up Ukraine
Ukraine belongs to George Soros ,and for Money laundry bosses. Ukrainian will never rule the country, its for foreigners, it is now the culture.

The thing is that in Spain many speak other languages as Catalan. One can be Ukrainian and a Russian speaker at the same time

Russified servants speaks Russian. Free man speaks his national language. Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Bulgaria, Latvia, Romenia, Hungary and now Ukraine. They dont speak russian anymore.
In Lithuania, we never spoke Russian _instead_ of Lithuanian, but Russian was the 2nd language we learned at school (starting from the 2nd grade, basically as the first of the 2 foreign languages, the other one being English or German), and of course, we had to use it when communicating with Russians, living in Lithuania (almost none of whom had learned Lithuanian, and were arrogantly proud of that fact).
But it was a different story with some of the offspring of Lithuanians, who were exiled to Siberia and never managed to return to Lithuania (which was the case with most of my mother's siblings). Some of these people indeed grew up speaking only Russian, and started learning Lithuanian during the pro-independence movement in the late 1980s.
Nowadays, Russian is no longer taught in Lithuanian schools, so most Lithuanians, who went to school after independence, don't understand Russian.
P.S. "Litva" is not a country, but what Russians call Lithuania. You probably meant to say "Latvia"?

We have hundreds of thousands "brave" ukrainians in Poland who paid bribe to escape from mobilisation. Ukraine is the poorest and the most corrupt country in Europe. I do not support Russia but Ukraine is realy pathological country.
The idea among many pro-Russians that Ukrainians are like long-lost brothers, yet in the next breath they call them "Khokhol" and invade their land is hypocritical to say the least...
Do you break into your brother's home uninvited, insult him, steal from him, and say it's okay because it's your brother? If this is justified on account of being brothers, why not reverse it and imagine that Ukraine was powerful enough to invade Russia and host the Ukrainian flag? It's just as valid a case. But I'm sure the moral sentiments of pro-Russians would change very fast if the latter occurred.
You just don't understand why Putin decided to attact Ukraine. You better learn the history starting from 2014 and even earlier. And yes Ukranians are Russian brothers, they have always been. Russians are not as tough as Western mainstream media present them.

@AntonioGallangos so you'd have no problem if your local language gets gradually weeded out? Nothing overt, just thousands of young people sent to work in other regions, replaced by workers who know only Spanish; government officials speaking only Spanish, etc. It happens so gradually that you notice only when your great -grandchildren stare at you for speaking weirdly. Especially minority languages need constant care. As the saying goes: Use it or lose it.
@@inkaplir6945 Most Ukrainians speak Ukrainian. But ask, for example, to the people of The Philippines, how in only one generation the United States government changed almost completely their language, from Spanish to English. Here in the U.S.A years ago you could go to jail, or being lynched by a mob, for speaking Spanish. And in the southwest, and in the west of the actual U.S.A territory, Spanish was spoken centuries before English.
@@AntonioGallangos Language is a living thing, and only native speakers can keep it alive, it's case of 'use it or lose it'. Sometimes there is an active opposition and ban by the government, sometimes the natives see foreign language as path to financial or social gains and their own language as useless. It is up to the people who speak the language to recognize the dangers and take countermeasures.
culture is much more importent when people

Fun fact: Spain is today one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in the world. It all started in the 70s after the dictator Franco died, because the people didn't want to have anything in common with Franco. Thus they became LGBT friendly to defy him.

Get real everyone who is fighting for Ukraine has been forced to do so. They are on their 10th mobilization. The propaganda for this debacle is ridiculous!
Yeah its getting very desperate actually. All those neat little documentarys, while they cant hide their behavior towards recruiting anymore. In Kiev there are now demonstrations by the women who are left behind or dont want their kid/husband/father getting forced to fight.
Meanwhile Selenskyi wants another 400k men recruited. Seems like nobody came to ask why you would need such a huge number of new recruits, when the media image lets you think they are doing quite well vs the Russians. 400k is basically a new army from the scratch, easy answer to what happened to all the other recruits.

It was Ukraine themselves who forbid church attendance. What a hyprocits.
To disperse parishioners and close churches is what you call strengthening culture.
upside down world, not a single thing mentioned in this reporting sets foundation for Ukraine's long-term success
The churches were run as Russian orthodox churches which in Russia are run by Ex KGB members. As Ukraine is at war with Russia, it’s in their national interests to remove any form of interference, influence or collaborative activity with Russian military, government, secret services or religious institutions.
Moscow uses orthodox church like a weapon.
In their sermons, the priests of the Moscow Church read canonical prayers, and then they say that we will pray for Vladimir Putin and Russia. It's like saying prayers for Hitler in Israel or saying prayers for Israel in Iran.

oh hey its Fluffy_penguin727, are you Russian or Chinese. I saw you in another video about Taiwan.
Stay strong Ukraine!!! You got this!
It's easy for you to applaud in a warm room,Western garbage.
We see daily the very different attitudes of Ukrainians who are fiercely independent, strong, resilient and fully involved in politics and their country's future direction. After the Orange revolution and then Maidan they refuse to be silenced ever again. Unlike Russians who are mostly a broken and apathetic people cowered by years of violence and oppression and who are stuck so deep in the mire that they darent look toward the sky.
The contrast is glaring and should be a lesson to us all of what it is to be human and how important it to retain one's rights and dignity which are the most precious human attributes.
Unlike Russians, the Ukrainian people are strong and brave people who understand the value of freedom and independence 🇺🇦🚀
yet zelensky is begging for money, that sounds like dependence.
fully involved in politics? they are being lied to all the time. people are being taken off the streets and forced into the army... maidan was a coup by USA.
and all this, the goal of the west was to destroy russia. which completely blew up in their face. the west is paying the price for all this and its completely insane...
@@jakel8627 This is probably why up to a thousand young people a day illegally leave the country to escape mobilization. Several more army corps emigrated to the Russian Federation in size.
More than a million strong young people have left for Europe, and the remaining defenders have to be caught on the streets by force. The country's leadership is raising the issue of forced mobilization of women.
Bad news awaits you.
@@jakel8627 I would say most Russians are stronger and braver than most US-Americans, who are usually obese and couldnt fit into a tank.
But you are free to spread your biased comments of course.
The average Ukrainian has very little to do with the decision making and only wanted to live in peace. Media in the West tries to sell that picture of an unprovoked attack and as you may be the NAFO bot that i assume you are, you are probably fully aware of it.
Maybe the USA could stop interfering in international relations, because the track record of succesful operations seems rather small. They usually only worsen things, all over the world.
боже, что вы несете. Майдан и Оранжевая революция были успешными, только потому что так надо было. без них не было бы войны сейчас. по уровню апатии, мы примерно все одинаковые во всем мире. просто россияне уже давно догадались что к чему, а вы все еще верите в сказки, где добро побеждает зло. в этом ваша главная слабость.
FUCKIN-A!!!✊ I 🇺🇦SUPPORT🇺🇦UKRAINE!!! I Am Third Generation Czech-American... Russia Invaded, Forcibly Took Over & Oppressed The Land Of MY Ancestors, Too!😡🤬🤬 But Even Though I Studied The Russian Language In High School In 1978 & 1979 - I ALWAYS Knew That Ukraine Was Its OWN Country With Its OWN Language, Its OWN Culture, History & Traditions! I Feel The Similar Kinship With Ukrainians That I Do With The People Of Other Eastern European Nations Who Were Also Invaded, Controlled & Oppressed By Former "Soviet Communist" Rule - Countries Like Lithuania, & Latvia! It Is So Cool To See Your Ukrainian Heritage Come Back To Life! SLAVA🇺🇦UKRAINI!!💪✊💛💙
Greetings from Lithuania!
What's Russia ever done good for anybody? Including their own people.
It’s a good question!!!
Russia hasn’t got anything original of its own making (besides potatoes, vodka and oil. It has copied and stolen everything and claimed it as its own. Russia needs liberation from its dark ages regime.
Plenty. You sound like a narrow minded bigot.
This has to be satire, right? Right?!
they truly believe these values is what makes a country strong
LOL, this is how this journalist saw Ukraine. This is not Ukraine. This is like to know USA by watching rednecks or something like this.
I think it is something like the Winter War in Finland. There was still a lot of resentment between "Red" and "White" Finns lingering from the revolution back in the WW1 time period, but the Winter War forged the Finns into one unified people.
Sure…
@garythomas4936 Finland closed its borders to Russia and no one is complaining on the Finnish side. Odd huh?
Sorry, what is your source for this statement? I have never heard anything resentment leftover from the civil war in Finland. On the other hand, there I resent of the neighbor that has plagued the Finnish people for hundreds of years!
@@Colin-Fenix I don't think it is possible to post links here, but if you read up at all about the Finnish Civil War you will find out what a bitter conflict that was. Both sides accused the other of massacres, and both sides apparently did such massacres in fact. The "Whites" won the war, and controlled the government and later hoped for military assistance from Germany, while the "Reds" hoped that the Soviet Union would assist them in overthrowing the "White"-run government. Basically the "Whites" were land owners and business owners and government leaders, while the "Reds" were working-class socialists.
But when the USSR invaded Finland with military forces, the Finns did unite and work together to fight them off. I guess you could Google "Spirit of the Winter War."

Ukrainians didn't _ask_ for this war.
@@gintasvilkelis2544 🤣 Right staging a pro-EU coup with American money, then asking to join the EU / NATO isn't asking Russia to attack you. Sure buddy! Except we Dutch saw this coming, voted no on a referendum a few years ago because we expected just that.....
Also, 2 million people here on food aid and half a million without a home, and we're forced to give money to Ukraine.
At this point, your asking for war with the European peoples themselves, demanding they lower their standard of living for your provoked war.

Thank you NBC! The world needs to get rid of putin in 2024
The sheer amount of approving and cheering comments by ordinary Russians in response to videos depicting the atrocities against civilians and prisoners of war in Ukraine were just as shocking to Ukrainians as the war itself. We had somehow grown accustomed to the war, but the realization of who we have been living alongside all this time without even knowing it is still horrifying.
Those savages referred to themselves as our brotherly people. One can only imagine what they might do to those they consider their enemies given the opportunity. Don't give them that opportunity because it's you who they call their enemies.
Negotiating with Russia is akin to negotiating with Ebola. Allowing Russia to remain undefeated is like undertreating a deadly infection - it will only return stronger. This is why any peace agreement that doesn't ensure a clear victory for Ukraine is just a temporary ceasefire.
What about 8 years of war in the donbass
@@eioclementi1355 you mean why russia was covering its war against Ukraine for 8 years? Maybe it took them 8 years to realise it's okay to do it openly.

Culture is good, Iraq, Syria, Libyia had 5000-7000 year old culture, didn't help much to prevent the country from being devastated and destroyed.
Whatever cultures these territories had thousands of years ago, got largely obliterated by the Islamic conquest ~1400 years ago.
May future be good
Feels more alienation within Ukraine culture. They constantly clash over language. Looks up their tgs and tiktoks, or their smaller non-big media. Constant conflict because of Russian languge.
Meanwhile they bashed Orthodox church, cancelled it and created other religious union.
It is a mess really.
War unites them, as it always does with people in common struggle. But such big alienation grows that it will blow up as soon as war is over.
What could Ukrainians do after ruzzia weaponized Orthodox church? Look up to and obey the former crime boss who blesses ruzzian weapons and preaches genocide? It wasn't the Ukrainians who bashed the institution, ruzzia turned it to trash (like everything it touches). Have you forgotten what happened to the beautiful historic church in Odessa?
Fact that a guy is called 'patriarch' and wears fancy costume doesn't make him holy. Whole clergy was appointed by Moscow and spewed ruzzian propaganda, finally Ukrainians had enough.
Scraping the bottom of the positivity barrel here, are we?
Thank you Ukraine for standing up for freedom everywhere!
You must be Roman.
you must be Orkoslav Putlerov @@DarrenJamiesonJamieson
Brave Ukraine indeed. It must really take balls to accept bribes from 1 million male conscripts in order to let them pass through the border or to rob their own country out of the entire military and humanitary aid (>120 billion USD)
Sing O'CANADA
U also need to understand that Russias placed their own statues of the Russian so-called leaders in the centre’s of the Ukrainian cities, but our statues was placed at the corners of the cites, to oppress us emotionally and make us feel secondary.
western media 😂😂😂
The Church was seized bc they spoke Russian. Woah!
I'm pretty sure the church was seized because they found Russian propaganda materials and evidence of collaboration with Russia. The move was one of expelling Russian agents who were sabotaging Ukraine's fight for freedom. There are over 10,000 Russian Orthodox parishes in Ukraine linked to Russia. About 1,000 have decided to join with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Most don't want to change, and the Ukrainian government is not forcing them to do so. They are keeping a close eye on them, however, since they are under the authority of the head of the Russian Church who is a strong proponent of the invasion of Ukraine. It puts the members of those churches in a difficult position. Their highest leader promotes the destruction of Ukraine and urges Russians to enlist because if they die as fighters against Ukraine, their sins will all be washed away.
😳Which Ukraine's culture are you talking about? The S Bandera's worship? 👎 The Polish's, the Hungarian's, etc... which one?
US hope Ukraine ruled by US culture.😅
If by that you mean be a democracy, yes.
god bless Ukraine from an Irish man
Ukraine proud. Ukraine strong. Ukraine Ultra Nationalism.
But American Ultra Nationalism is wrong. Or so they tell us.
You aren't wrong about being strong. It must really take balls to accept bribes from 1 million male conscripts in order to let them pass through the border or to rob their own country out of the entire military and humanitary aid (>120 billion USD)
Why do western Mass media keep using the Soviet name of ukraine? It's original name is Malorossiya/Little Russia
As I understand, it's the opposite: Ukrainians called themselves that, while Russians called them Malorossiya.

Billions of dollars unaccounted for
You are misinformed. The U.S.A. is sending military equipment from its stockplies and paying companies in the U.S.A. to produce more munitions. If billions are unaccounted for its because it was "lost" by U.S. companies.
@@yvonnetomenga5726 you are ignorant $$ is pay pensions in Ukraine paying for the country and Hunter's artwork
@@yvonnetomenga5726 So how is Ukraine paying their "Soldiers: with US Money if they aren't getting any?
@@Reaper-cm4jr • Monetary Support is coming from the EU. The EU has given the majority of the financial support both through the EU and through individual country contributions. Hungary has held up the most recent financial aid package for Ukraine so the EU is looking for a work around. I haven't seen anything on the issue of whether it has been resolved.
Also, countries like Japan that cannot give military aid have provided financial assistance, although Japan is looking at a work around to provide military aid indirectly.
In addition, UNITED24 is only one of the mechanisms for people around the world to donate and select how their money is to be used. In addition to military, there are options for demining and rebuilding.
If you want to see charts, CNN created some on Fri October 6, 2023 in an article entitled "Ukraine aid: Where the money is coming from." This article includes a chart showing the amount of the aid as a percentage of its GDP. The U.S.A. doesn't rank all that high since it is only 0.3% of its GDP. That's one of the reasons so many military personal favor the aid because Ukraine is destroying Russia's conventional fighting capacity for such a low cost and no loss of life from our military. [I note American volunteers have been killed in Ukraine as have volunteers been of many other countries.]
The Council on Foreign Relations published a report on December 8, 2023, entitled "How Much Aid Has the U.S. Sent Ukraine? Here Are Six Charts."
Note: I can't give you the links because RUclips suspends me for sending people off its platform.
Finally, there are many other RUclipsrs collecting money for specific units and equipment needs, e.g. vehicles, fuel, generators, drones, demining equipment, etc.

Proposed Plan for Victory in Ukraine
"Enclosed is a report from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the House Armed Services Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence which aims to answer critical questions about U.S. and allied support for Ukraine and present a proposed plan for victory where we win, and Russia loses. Russia, and an alliance consisting of China, Iran, Iran’s proxies (like Hamas and Hezbollah), and North Korea, are working together to undermine American interests around the world. Their goal is to diminish the U.S. economy, fracture key alliances, and establish a new world order of totalitarianism. The United States has not faced a more dangerous array of adversaries since World War II."
Be sure to read the full text of this plan, and be sure to support measures to protect your border. Prosperity and strength to the American people and happy winter holidays.
