Someone please explain to me how Ukraine has been paid all this money and is still considered a ‘sovereign nation’

Wouldn’t they have been purchased by now? The aid money they’ve received has to be more than the country itself is worth.

It’s absolutely approaching it has surpassed their 2022 GDP, reportedly said to be $160b

How exactly is the amount of donations received related to Ukraine being a sovereign nation?

Because of how these things work. If I’m handing you a large sun of money and then I ask you for some specific things in the future, you’re much more likely to do the things I’m asking you to do.

At that point, the Ukrainian government is potentially forced to make decisions that are not necessarily in the best interests of their people, and instead are in the best interests of American politicians
