    The us completely outstrips the EU and all member states individual contributions militarily. The EU only beats the us if you consider only monetary contributions (which are then mostly used to purchase lend lease equipment at a discount from, again, the us.) Or have strings attached so they can’t be used directly in the conflict. That’s not to say the eu contributions are small, but it’s not anywhere close to being twice, even if you include monetary donations that don’t directly help the war effort until it is converted to military spending.
