That's a very simplistic world-view. One does not have to be on the frontlines to help an effort. People donating to https://ukrainedefensefund.org/ are still "fighting", even though they aren't literally gunning people down in Donbas.

No, it is not simplistic. People donating are, well, donating. It is a right thing, a noble thing, it is a necessary thing.
But they are not fighting. They do not take the same risk, they do not suffer the same, they do no share burden with those that do.

No one said they were.
How do you want this worded? It’s worth giving the Ukrainians a fuckton of equipment, and potentially organized military intervention for? You can summarize that as ‘fighting’.
The problem is that as a European, giving in here means they come closer. Next time it’s the Polish border, then the German.
Are you in Donbas currently? If not, you are not fighting anything.
