>>"When it sunsets, do we get our Ukraine money back?"<<

It should be noted that this is another misrepresentation on the right about Ukraine spending. - Umm

In my defense, I was being a little snarly and mainly poling at the sunset provision the border bill which still makes no sense to me but that is for another thread.

I pretty much agree with your observation about the Ukraine funding going to modernizing US
stockpiles and re-establishing domestic weapons production, if that is in fact how the bulk of that funding is used.

However I have heard reports that we and the EU are more or less paying for the operations of the entire government, ie payroll for civil servants, and that large sums have been earmarked for pensions for top Ukranian officials.
