Something to keep in mind.

I went through some of the amounts contributed/committed by the various countries to Ukraine. If you look at the various amounts vs the contributing country's population then Canada (475 CAD/person) is not that far behind the US (525 USD/person). Bearing in mind the concept of discretionary funds (ie funds available for things other than the necessities of maintaining a reasonable living standard) I think the Canadians can be quite proud of their contribution. Economy of scale/gross size of the economy has a very large effect when we are discussing the contributions to Ukraine.

______________ Population_______Funding
Canada______~41,000,000______19.5 billion CAD
US_________~330,000,000_____174.0 billion USD

Ukraine’s Membership of NATO is Important to Russia—It Would be Precluded from Ever Invading Ukraine Again - Australian Institute of International Affairs

In a recent piece for Australian Outlook Graeme Gill writes that I and others “dispute the importance of NATO,” claiming it has no role in the current conflict, while we “rarely interrogate the evidence relating to [Russia’s] fear of Ukraine joining NATO.” In the article below, I respond to...

Oct 20 (Reuters) - Ukraine struck a manufacturer of military explosives deep inside Russian territory overnight, as well as storage infrastructure at a military airfield in the Lipetsk region, Kyiv's General Staff said in a statement on Sunday.

Russian air defence units downed 110 Ukrainian drones over the country, Russia's defence ministry said, including one over the Moscow region, 43 over the border region of Kursk, and 27 over southwestern Lipetsk region.

The Russian SHOT Telegram channel reported that drones attempted to strike the Ya. M. Sverdlov State Owned Enterprise in Dzerzhinsk city, Nizhny Novgorod region, about 400 km (250 miles) east of Moscow.

The explosives plant, one of the largest manufacturers of its kind used by Russian forces in the war that Moscow launched against Ukraine in February 2022, is subject to sanctions by the United States and the European Union.

Kyiv's General Staff said it was still assessing the damage from its attack.

Four firefighters received minor shrapnel wounds in a drone attack on an industrial zone in Dzerzhinsk city, the region's governor said, without specifying the target of the attack.

The Russian defence ministry said on Telegram that eight Ukrainian drones were destroyed over Nizhny Novgorod. Residents reported powerful explosions and white smoke in the area of the plant, SHOT reported.

Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
