Under the so-called “Ukraine Facility”, the Commission will make available for Ukraine up to €50 billion in grants and highly concessional loans. This crucial funding will help Ukraine keep its administration running, pay salaries, pensions, and provide basic public services, as it continues to defend itself against Russia's aggression.
That is not "Europe paying the bills," certainly not for NATO.
That is Europe claiming it will "make available" "up to" 50 Billion Euros in grants and loans - to Ukraine, not NATO. I'll believe it when I see it. Of course E10 is "up to" E50 Billion, so it won't be hard for them to keep their word.
Get back to me when they have actually give that 50 billion.
Even they do, that pales in comparison to what the U.S. has given - actually given, not said they will give.
The Joe Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute. (This figure does not include all war-related U.S. spending, such as aid to allies.) The historic sums are helping a broad set of Ukrainian people and institutions, including refugees, law enforcement, and independent radio broadcasters, though most of the aid has been military-related. Dozens of other countries, including most members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), are also providing large aid packages to Ukraine.
And, it has nothing to do with NATO, since Ukraine is not a NATO country.

Meaning the US is lagging by 10 billion, going by your figures.
And why it matters, is the fact That the EU is spending a considerable amount of fund and hardware in assistance towards Ukraine in defense against aggression from the NATION that NATO was conceived to protect against.
That IS paying the bills. By the way, a large part of that hardware was bought from American Companies. That hardware will have to be replaced. Bringing direct economic benefits. But hey. Bash NATO.
