This is why Europe is punching well below its weight . This type of thinking is suicidal. The general public needs to wake the fuck up

I think what happens is that most people expect the EU as a whole to help and not each country on its own.

You’re missing one graphic that shows relative aid already provided. What you’ve posted suggests that Denmark is worse in this than for example Spain. Which is severely misleading.

Denmark sends the most support to Ukraine when accounted for their GDP. They’re are completely justified in their opinions that most European counties do not support Ukraine enough and that their country should not increase support.
It’s everyone else who needs to step up.

Isn’t this quite logical? Denmark is one of the countries paying most, so Danes would probably want other countries to try to match that?

I don’t think it’s unfair for countries that contribute more as a percentage of GDP to expect those that contribute less to catch up first. However, most countries on this list don’t really qualify for that expectation.

EU is only 7 countries now? That was news to me.
Maybe peopöe in thease 7 countries think the other 20 countries should contribute more. Not like all countries in EU contribute the same.

Gotta say that I am for once proud about my countries effort (Denmark).

Would be interesting to see what the countries who donate the lowest amount per capita think.

Words are cheaper than actions. But you only need words to claim the moral high ground.
And especially their number for actual military support, both per gdp and nominal value. Spanish and Italian support for Ukraine is pitiful. Way too small.
I’m not saying this because I just dislike these countries or anything, I just want them start stepping up. That starts with public opinion. For the love of freedom, Please! No more excuses!

Sweden and Denmark is doing their part, at least.

This may sound like a nitpick but I think it is an important distinction. The first question isn’t “should Ukraine receive more support”, it is “Is Ukraine recieving enough support to prevent a Russian victory”.

This is why I think any EU army is immediately dead in the water. Yeah, the concept of an EU army sounds nice. It’s just nobody wants to pay for one.

I am happy this article is shared here because this sub had so much ecstasy when it mocked the US (ocean aside) but it turns out many Europeans have very similar opinion. According the Kiel institue (very refutable) the EU countries have donated 132 Billion dollars combined compared to 114 billions the US has donated. https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/
The annual EU GDP is around 20T dollar, that means that in three years the EU has donated 132 billion dollars out of 60,000 billion dollars. 0.22%.
That is on the most significant issue in Europe since WWII. Europe is impotent and this is not a pro Trump statement (I don’t like him) and not an anti Ukraine statement (I’m pro Ukraine and donated them money). It’s a confession in reality.
Help Ukraine now, or cut losses and go to a ceasefire.

I think they should receive all the support my country can give 🇫🇮✊🇺🇦
A bystander effect of continental scale.
Having your cake and eating it too is so integral to the human condition there is some version of that metaphor in every language.
Edit: I love how all the replies have evolved into people sharing the metaphor in thier language. I truly feel like a European today
Considering how much each country has given as percentage of GDP puts this in perspective.
Italy only 0.115% and this is the country with the most supporters for reducing the amount.
