Reply to comment by Right-Kangaroo-8785 in Germany hoping to increase its military aid to Ukraine to up to €15 billion in coming years by klappstuhlgeneral

Germany, France and others are selling gear too. In fact Germany is selling them AA systems, howitzers, and rheinmetall wants to sell them tanks

So not directly to the US

Majority of the US aid going to Ukranie is in weaponry, this AID then has to be paid off. The European aid besides a some weaponry is money, this money is then being sent to the US to pay off their aid.

Europe is paying the American military industrial complex to create and fabricate new weaponry for them to keep.

The aid is aid, it’s not being paid off as it is a gift. They are buying equipment with some money true, but that is mostly from the EU weapons fund. The US is also sending large amounts of money, they have for example paid for the salaries for Ukraines doctors and nurses for several months.
