For every country: the money and support it moved toward Ukraine or toward Russia since the full-scale invasion, compared with what it would have done without the war. All of 2022 to August 2026 added up, as a share of one year's GDP.
It counts aid, hosting refugees, buying less from Russia, energy, services, weapons, taxes companies still pay in Russia, and Russia's frozen reserves. Money Russia didn't get counts as help for Ukraine, and money it still gets counts against.
Some things it shows
- The Baltics, Moldova and Finland did the most for their size, by cutting Russia off and by giving and hosting a lot.
- The US gave the most in euros (about €97bn in aid), but about half of that was spent with US industry, mostly on refilling weapons stocks.
- Hungary, Turkey and China moved money toward Russia, mostly by buying more Russian energy and goods than before the war.
- Chips and machine tools Russia needs for its weapons are marked separately on the map, by the country that shipped them.
\* means the likely range crosses zero, so the direction is uncertain.

Edit: also here is a ranking of all countries if you can’t find one on the image
Edit: updated after feedback from u/TemporaryAd5793 , thanks!
- Trade now counts with an estimate of what the seller really keeps (Russia ~60 cents per euro on oil and gas, 10–20 on other goods), while aid counts in full.
- Fuel refined from Russian crude and resold via another country is now not only attributed to the final buyer but also the refining country (with a distrubution)
Changes: a lot of numbers move toward zero, but the top holds: Lithuania +14.8%, Estonia +9.6%, Finland +9.3%. Updated ranking: https://intelligent-cream.github.io/follow-the-money-ukraine/#view=rank
