A billion for Ukraine

A billion is a thousand millions? Maths is not my strong point but this is a mind blowing amount.
It seems rather a lot UK is giving to Ukraine - is it wise? I didn't know we had so much to spare.

In the UK a billion is a million million (1,000,000,000,000).

In the USA a billion is a thousand million, (1,000,000,000).

A lot then. We must hope it is wise to empty our coffers this way.
