> US isn't donating weapons to Ukraine, it's leasing them

Could you kindly support your statement with the source? AFAIK most aid provided to Ukraine is not under lend-lease but donated to them

"Any loan or lease of defense articles to the Government of Ukraine under paragraph (1) shall be subject to all applicable laws concerning the return of and reimbursement and repayment for defense articles loan or leased to foreign governments."

Can you provide a source for your statement that these were donations?

That's disingenuous. You provided link to a legal framework, but not any use of it. Your source doesn't even mention a single delivery under this act.

> Can you provide a source for your statement that these were donations?

You made the first claim, it's on you to prove it because disproving something is harder than making false claim. But you can have my source anyway.

Most aid takes the form of cash for humanitarian support, ~disposing of~ donating old hardware to Ukraine, or a loan for the express intent of buying a modern system.

The vast majority of the "billions" given to Ukraine is made up of stuff that we actively are trying to throw away.
