Oh, so they're being enslaved?

Indebted would be the accurate word.

You think they should get things for free? If you want a 500000$ missile, you better be able to pay for it. Wishes and thanks don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.

I’m all for removing idiotic export restrictions to Ukraine, they should be able to purchase anything they need, but if they don’t want to pay, that’s theft.

@library_napper no, like @broface says, I think they are becoming extremely indebted, and the debt will last for several generations.

It took the UK until 2006 to pay off its Lend Lease debts to the US after World War II.

Ukraine is not as prosperous.
