The financial aid the U.S. provides to Ukraine, especially military aid, largely remains within the U.S. economy. This happens because the funds are used to purchase weapons and equipment from U.S. manufacturers or to replace items sent to Ukraine from U.S. stockpiles. Essentially, the money allocated for aid to Ukraine is spent on American goods and services, which supports American jobs and businesses. It's a common practice in foreign aid for funds to be spent in the donor country to support its economy while assisting.
For example, the U.S. has directed about $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support. This assistance helps a broad set of Ukrainian people and institutions, but most of the aid has been military-related. The aid is used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. This means that while the aid benefits Ukraine, it also stimulates the U.S. economy.
