Is the United States government donating weapons to Ukraine, no strings attached, or is it selling them?
US is just dumping weapons in Ukraine and doesn't even know where most of them are going, all of this is coming straight out of the pockets of Americans https://archive.ph/NSfx0
Looks like they're using lend-lease, which is just a fancy term for selling them on credit.
So Ukraine will be in debt to American weapons companies for years to come?
Weapons makers, financial institutions, banks - you name it. I'm sure you have already heard the tale of privatisation.gov.ua
They use the American spelling (maybe that's significant?): https://privatization.gov.ua/en/map-of-objects/
Apologies and thanks
Glory glory hallelujah
