Having extra money left over seems like the opposite of a grift to me.

Where do you think that money ends up exactly, think it's going to recirculate back into the economy or end up continue being allocated to the Pentagon?

The money that they could have spent but didn't spend? Presumably they'll spend it on more Ukrainian aid.

If by Ukrainian aid you mean general embezzling and lining the pockets of the oligarchs then certainly.
