Support for Ukraine Evaluation Based on GDP

When assessing support for Ukraine, considering the contribution in relation to countries' GDP becomes crucial. Britain's commitment of 0.11 percent of GDP for 2024 places it at the bottom of the list compared to countries like Denmark (0.5 percent) and the Netherlands (2.2 percent). This metric raises the discussion around allocating 0.5 percent of GDP to bolster Ukraine's armed forces as a more substantial deterrent to Russian forces.
