That article states that out of all the military equipment in Ukraine at the beginning of 2025, 20% was from the US, 25% from Europe and 55% was domestically produced in Ukraine. But some of the most important stuff was from the US, that's why their contributions are more relevant in active battle zones, even though they make up a smaller fraction of the total. So the chart is not completely wrong but paints a wrong picture. If Europe wants to replace the US as the dominant supplier, they don't need to send more equipment per se, they need to send more deadly stuff.
