Only about 2.

US doesn't have 'aid', they call it 'aid' but is usually corruption money or loan.

For example, take a look at what is Ukraine getting. Not aid, most of it is some kind of loan.

I think definition of aid is that they don't own anything in return, but US is not using it like that.

Hilarious that some of the assets up for privatisation are in Russian-controlled territory. Truly another level of grift

You can see a map of all the assets they've already sold here: https://privatization.gov.ua/mapa-ob-yektiv/

Best part about it is that they're literally selling property that is inside the regions Russia annexed and currently holds 🀣
