Original Note:
It has been debunked many times: US does not simply send "cash" to Ukraine. Most of it(~90%) stays in US in form of salaries, jobs, economy boost https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/29/ukraine-military-aid-american-economy-boost/ https://www.factcheck.org/2022/12/u-s-aid-to-ukraine-explained/ But even giving "cash" to some other countries may be of a strategic interest for US, and always has been. https://www.newsweek.com/how-sending-aid-ukraine-saving-us-billions-dollars-1761058 https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2020/12/why-we-send-them-money.html
