> How else should Ukraine pay for the military assistance it's receiving?
Boots on the ground. They're fighting an excellent proxy war against Russia on behalf of NATO, severely stretching NATO's largest geopolitical ally, at the extreme cost of young Ukrainian men ending up in the ground. Sweden and Finland have been brought into the alliance, very valuable lessons have been learned, exceptional military intelligence gained, for a bit of cash and essentially no NATO causalities. By the end of the war, an exhausted Russia will have almost zero capacity to mount a conventional attack against any NATO member for a decade.
In short, why should Ukraine be paying with treasure when they're already paying so much with blood?
