Yeah. The technology and intelligence support from the US has been pretty crucial, but if you look just in terms of total money spent on defending Ukraine, it's something like 50% from Ukraine, 25% from Europe, and 25% from the US. The US likes to pretend it is 1% / 9% / 90% just because that is our mentality (and because that's what it should look like, given the military budgets available for the countries involved), but it's not accurate.
