Ukraine is "receiving money from others"? We are benefactors of the Ukrainians' bravery and sacrifices. How much money could we have not spent if Hitler had been stopped in Czechoslovakia?

Yes. https://www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/united-states-america...
You are completely ignoring the argument of your parent comment. They are saying that money is being spent to the benefit and best interest of the spenders, that it’s not a handout.
You are, of course, free to disagree and make your point, but ignoring the argument does not advance the discussion.
> Ukraine is "receiving money from others"?
Factually correct.
> We are benefactors of the Ukrainians' bravery and sacrifices.
Who's we?

Very different situation, in all aspects.
You see zero similarities between Hitler invading Poland and Putin invading Ukraine?
As similar as any country who ever invaded any other country?!
There are some pretty substantial differences. Russia is on the strategic back foot here trying to figure out a way to stop NATO's advance. They've only turned to violence after long attempts at resolving the tension diplomatically and the US has been implacable. Putin's actually been pretty hesitant in his escalations so far; he's 70 and has a long history of trying to avoid war.
Hitler was more about wanting more land and resources for Germany, and he saw war as being a legitimate tool for achieving his aims that he deployed early and enthusiastically.
