There are no boots on the ground from NATO in Ukraine; They receive support and aid in the form of money, weapons, intelligence, training, and material. They still have an economy, and have international trade, so it’s not as if they’re not paying for anything themselves. Much of the aid they receive is then spend on material from the country that gave the aid, arguably the US defense industry, amongst others, makes money of this war.
They’ve been keen to join NATO as a deterrent for Russian aggression, with very good reason. They’re fighting an existential threat. Putin has made no secret that he doesn’t consider Ukraine a country.
This concerns all of us in ‘the West’, because we’ve built our democracies around a concept of freedom and trade that the likes of Russia have been working very hard to destroy.
Most every Russian troop being killed is via drone. Something like 96% of those drones are produced in Ukraine. Funding a war is expensive, especially when you are vastly out numbered population wise. Of course they want as much aid as possible.
Where are you sourcing that from? (That’s way higher than most are claiming for either side) Also, that has nothing to do with what we were talking about

Not by a long shot. Even Ukraine only claims in the region of 800,000 casualties on the Russian side, the majority of which are wounded not dead.

Again, dead is not the same as a casualty that’s why I emphasized that in my comment
