In a vacuum maybe, but nothing is in a vacuum, especially with our species. Excellent example by the way:

We recently did give more money to Ukraine to defend themselves, seems noble. In order to pass it, it was tied to additional funds for Israel's ongoing genocide.

So basically we helped Ukranian civilians by shooting through Palestinian civilians.

Now you may say "what if we juuuust gave Ukraine money?" well we literally just proved we couldn't. Humans decided to hold those humans hostage if we didnt help kill these other humans. The point is humans by and large reject solutions that help others for the sake of helping in and of itself, they always want a cut. If we could solve Ukraine being under seige, we should have, but we didn't. We never do.
