Not an expert. But this is tiny amount of money. So probably a formality. I know individuals who raised more for Ukraine from their friends.

Also Red Cross seems to be dead. Many people on the ground said that in the past 8 years in Ukraine it did nothing.

Will need more research but it seems to be highly ineffective organization that spends a lot of money and doesn’t produce much.

So sending this amount of money is basically nothing and looks like PR move.

It is not money, it is products needed for refuges.

Yeah, China is like, "Don't look at us as if we're on the bullying side, oh hey, I just happen to have a cookie, look."

It is more like big guys like US and Russia are swearing at each other, they push Ukraine around, now he is bleeding, China wants nothing to do with it, so provided some medicine. Now everyone suddenly find China to blame. Very nice. China didn't invade Iraq, and China didn't invade Ukraine, now China is the bad guy.

In which case it might be worth orders of magnitude more - basic stuff in China is way cheaper than in the West, and here they can also bypass all the usual middleman.

Exactly. I don't understand west's point. They are not going to fight, and they will just supply weapon to make the war bloodier. And now they are pushing Poland to have direct conflict with Russia.

[trasz]

They supply weapons so that Ukraine can defend. And one of the things we now know is that Russian army is a laughing stock. They can be dangerous to civilians though, thus the need for SAMs.
