You mean Europe. The US is giving military aid and that money is staying in the US.

How is Europe propping up the Ukraine economy though?

At the very least being able to defend yourself helps keep your economy propped up, no?

Both the US and Europe are propping up the economy, meanwhile Ukrainian politicians vote to raise their salaries and are seen vacationing throughout Europe. You can google this and see that this is true. Military aide doesn’t help the Ukrainian military much because they don’t have the training to use more advanced weapons systems. So Ukrainian military leaders are selling Western weapons to terrorists in the Middle East, hell! Some are selling Western weapons to the Russians lol They are being willfully slaughtered.

No, that’s not what I mean. A portion of the money is being laundered back into the US, yes, but Europe is also being threatened to back Ukraine by the US.
