I'm not sure why this would be surprising to anyone, Ukraine was notoriously gutted post USSR split, one of the poorest countries in the region, and, Syria had relatively a lot of industry, oil, etc. The US GDP per capita being around 50,000 that year for reference, I would look up the average/median for 2010 too, but I would need a spreadsheet or something bc google is impossible to find things on now.
