Not directly, but many countries have increased their defense budget, which will help build and supply more weapons for Ukraine.
Alas, it won't. Budget is nothing when there is no capacity to produce.
Russia and it's allies (North Korea, Iran and China) increased weapon production capacity, EU and US haven't. However, the biggest issue will be raw materials, of which most rare metals come from... China.
The EU and US are increasing ammo production, but it takes a lot longer because of red tape. That's something that totalitarians don't have to worry about.
