      It’s always quite peculiar to see these comparisons. Bilateral is US and EU institutions, the UK, and then some European memberstates.
      Though U.K. is not EU anymore It’s still a military ally and geograohically part of the European continent. Also, how much did European countries donate in It’s totality?
