The article doesn't mention that a lot of this is Lend Lease and Ukraine will eventually have to pay the money back to the US.

You think they should get things for free? If you want a 500000$ missile, you better be able to pay for it. Wishes and thanks don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.

I’m all for removing idiotic export restrictions to Ukraine, they should be able to purchase anything they need, but if they don’t want to pay, that’s theft.
