I think it was mentioned early on, not so much after being debunked (link)


Yet another lame attempt to deflect from the real reason security assistance was being withheld.

From the link below:

President Donald Trump wrongly said that “Europe and other nations” were “not” contributing to Ukraine, specifically calling for Germany and France to “put up money.” In fact, the European Union and European financial institutions have contributed more than $16.4 billion in grants and loans to Ukraine since 2014.

European countries have contributed an estimated two-thirds of all of the aid to Ukraine since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and launched a conflict in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, according to Iain King, a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

And that 2/3 doesn't include their security assistance via NATO.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has only directly provided $1.96 billion, or roughly only 1/8th as much.
