given that Netherlands' GDP is 25 times smaller than USA,this is the same as US sending 66 bilion $ in aid to Ukraine in one package

Yep, we haven't forgotton what Russia has done with MH17. I'm totally fine with spending this much and more if this means for more Russian losses.

The actual revenue of the government is only ~10x smaller though, so it'd be more like if the U.S government sent $26.7 billion in one package.

So far, the U.S has earmarked ~$68 billion in aid to Ukraine, and there's a new aid request for $37.7 billion in the works that will bring the total up to ~$105 billion.
