It is a lot given the defense budget of the country was in the lol range until very recently. Even 400 million is ~7% of Ukraine’s current defense budget. 1 billion is 16%. And no, things like Javelins ($175,000/unit) and Stingers ($120,000 per unit) and small arms munitions, body armour, etc for front line troops have been being sent there for a few years now don’t require training. The US has stockpiled of these things they have been shipping there consistently. You think the 350 million they just announced is for things that haven’t even been produced yet? C’mon lol. It is for military assistance they can ship immediately.

Are you mentally handicapped? Russian artillery has shelled children’s hospitals, blood donor clinics, cruise missiles have hit high rise apartments. They have been firing missiles and shells into multiple major cities in Ukraine which is why civilians have been asked to take shelter. Civilian death toll is probably far higher than you think. But sure, keep up the nonsense. Putin has admirable restraint, western media is propaganda against the great man.
