Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said Ukraine still has a path to victory and allies can help it defeat Russian forces by contributing a chunk of their economic output to the war effort.
Every member of the so-called Ramstein group — more than 50 countries including all 31 members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization — should channel the equivalent of 0.25% of their gross domestic product to Kyiv annually, Kallas said. That would raise at least €120 billion ($131 billion) and swing the conflict in Ukraine’s favor, she said.

What’s the long term plan here? Keep stoking war with Russia in hope they will give up?
It is Russia that started the war, and is “stoking” it. The countries that assist Ukraine with arms are doing so to prevent Russian imperialism from expanding into Europe and beyond. It is very necessary that they continue to do so.
Shouldn’t we be helping Russia fight the Americans if we don’t like imperialism? We could start by attacking one of the 800 military bases the Americans have built around the world.
Look at which countries spend the largest part of their GDP to aid Ukraine and it becomes apparent very quickly.
To be clear to anyone skimming, we’re currently spending half of what Russia does each month.
It’s kind of impressive how well it’s been going in that light. Our system is truly much more efficient.
In the future, it would be good if there was a way to allocate budget to supporting foreign wars the way it’s allocated for domestic militaries. Right now it sounds like it goes package-by-package, so spending is very difficult to sustain once the public gets bored.
