It is interesting to see a list of countries providing aid to Ukraine, ranked by each country's percentage of GDP. The following ranking includes all aid given to Ukraine during the time period Jan/4/2022 to Feb/24/2023. Countries which were either part of the USSR or the Warsaw Pact (indicated by bold).feature prominently on this list, presumably because they know first hand what it means to be occupied by Russia.
Canada, and Alberta specifically, and Edmonton even more specifically (almost 11% of Edmontonians are of Ukrainian ancestry) have very close ties to Ukraine, so I am disappointed that we are so far down the list.
Canada has the third highest population of ethnic Ukrainians in the world (after Ukraine and Russia). Poland is in 4th place followed by the USA in 5th.
(1) 1.4% Latvia
(2) 1.3% Estonia
(3) 1.1% Lithuania
(4) 0.9% Poland
(5) 0.8% Netherlands
(6) 0.7% Norway
(7) 0.7% Bulgaria
(8) 0.6% Czech Republic
(9) 0.6% Finland
(10) 0.6% Denmark
...
(21) 0.4% United States
...
(29) 0.2% Canada
