How much more is the US supposed to do in Ukraine beyond the $60-70 billion in weapons and supplies? Do we need to actually go to war with Russia?

Yes. That's what everyone signed up to [0] when Ukraine gave up its Soviet-era nukes.

It is supposed to deliver arms European countries literally paid for.

Second, USA should not negotiate for Russia nor help them. They are doing both.

How about $600 billion. Since when did the US say we are just going to let russia win because we don’t want to spend the money? What happened to “These colors don’t run” republicans? Oh wait it was BS all along. Got it.

Ukraine is still fighting. We don't need to send troops. We just need to keep sending weapons (Trump stopped this)

sigh

800 Patriot missiles were used within the first 3 days in the Iran war. This is greater than the total number of Patriot missiles received by Ukraine during the entire war with Russia.

Your orange president is displaying some funny priorities.
