Best news for Ukraine for quite sometime came from Europe last week. That is EU top guns recognising this as an existential war for for themselves. UK already did and France to follow its lead of formally signing security pacts with Ukraine and Germany probably will follow.
Russia's war budget is ~140bill US or 9% of its total GDP of 1.6 Trillion US.
UK/France/Germany GDP is ~10 trillion US.
Just 1.4% of that can match Russian war machine in money value and 3% of their GDP will provide 100% more gear to Ukraine than what Russia got. Add in Italy,Sweden, Canada, Japan etc etc, Russia is no match for convectional warfare.
Forget USA, Europe just have to put their head in, prop up its industry also buy all US can supply. 3% War budget is a tiny sacrifice for survival.
