Is the United States government donating weapons to Ukraine, no strings attached, or is it selling them?
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
