Original Note:
The part about US taxpayers "paying" for the conflict needs some context. As of December 2023, the US has sent around 75 billion USD worth of aid to Ukraine, which is equivalent to about 8% of 2023 annual budget of the Department of Defense or 1,2% of the annual US budget https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/federal-spending/ https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3326875/department-of-defense-releases-the-presidents-fiscal-year-2024-defense-budget/
