The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) has an updated tally on defensive and offensive munition expenditures. It's likely not 100% accurate due to the sensitive nature of those figures.

> 11,294 munitions in the first 16 days of the conflict, at a cost of approximately $26 billion.

Several detailed tables are in the link below.

Incidentally, $26B is a sum in the same ballpark as the cost of eradicating homelessness in the US, ending large-scale hunger worldwide or making significant progress towards safe drinking water for all or the eradication of malaria.

But how would any of those activities increase the wealth of the decision makers (in the short term)?
