The only Americans who have benefited in any way from the tens of billions of dollars and counting spent "for Ukraine" are (a) major shareholders of Northrup Grumman and Lockheed and (b) the CIA and other Security State bureaucrats:

The more than 4,000-page, $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill prohibits funds for U.S. border security but it provides funding for border security in foreign nations.
Democrats need at least 10 votes from GOP senators to pass the legislation, which was unveiled on Tuesday. Congressional leaders are rushing to pass it before the Christmas break.
House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy opposes the bill, arguing that Congress should pass a funding bill that expires in January, allowing the new Congress to negotiate its own package.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Dan Bishop and his staff combed through the legislation all day Tuesday and identified some of the earmarks and controversial spending provisions in the full text.
Among Bishop's findings was language that prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection from using its $1.5 billion in funding to "acquire, maintain or extend border security technology and capabilities, except for technology and capabilities to improve Border Patrol processing."
"It expressly prohibits CBP funding from being used to improve border security," Bishop tweeted.
"… but at the same time, allocates $410 million towards border security for Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman," he continued in a follow-up tweet. "America Last in action."

It is not charity. Charity would be given freely. The American taxpayers have been conscripted into making welfare payments to this foreign government.
Zelensky tells Congress: "Your money is not charity. It's an investment in the global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way."
