This does not look to be “military” spending on Ukraine, it’s all spending.

$135b of it is from the "Department of War". What percentage do you believe is not "military" spending and why do you think that?

Also the distinction seems silly for a country in total war. Funding their medical or food system or whatever means they can re-allocate money to defense
