According to an article I read in a Sun Valley newspaper.

Paying Ukraine to fight is much more economical than building and maintaining our own armed forces needed to deter Russia.

Mitt Romney was quoted and I paraphrase:

Supporting the Ukraine effort is the best defense budget value I have ever seen.

The article claimed the war has set Russia back in military strength substantially.

The cost of Ukraine support is many time less than military spending on our defense to deter Russia.
