Yeah, I don't see it what with the re armament of most of these western countries. There does not seem to be a lack of last gen equipment to send.
there is no re-armament, none of the western ecomonies are geared for war, only the american military is and they are done sharing there surplus.
all that the west had to give was what it could afford to give away from its reserves without crippling there own defence sectors, russia has a active war ecomony, the west does not.

There is no war in ba sing se
cltr+f'd 'aid' on your first article, no results (other than it hitting other words with aid in it)
that article is literally just about the military industrial complex being spun up in western europe instead of shit like housing lmao, nowhere does it suggest that ukraine will be receiving any of that, only that the money will be going to 'defence', this is not a war ecomony and I suspect you dont know what that is.
furthermore I suspect most of that money will be spent replenishing all of the things they just gave away, you realize
Yes, they are in support of the western world rearming. Nothing to do with aid.
the western world will be rearming, just not ukraine
Yes, that is what is happening if the budgets and contracts are to be believed.
