for what reason should Musk provide this for free?

One must be aware:
1) Ukraine is a welfare country, always has been.
2) Since 1991, they had an infrastructure built totally by the Soviets, all powerplants, water treatment, waste, power,…
3) They were never admitted to the EU or NATO due to their ranking as one of the poorest nations in Europe…a basket case….blessed with natural resources they never improved their situation, Russia built the pipelines, joint ventures built much of every thing they had. The obscene loan the IMF gave them in 2015 ( regime change, Maidan) was defaulted on numerous times ( according to some sources) presumably to fill their pockets. Much of the loan had no accountability as to where the billions went. ( 10 percent to Joe).
4) Their corruption in the financial world ( government sanctioned) is known amongst bankers as the highest in the Western world.
5) …which led to the well known saying in the EU, “ when shaking hands with a Ukrainian, be sure to check how many fingers he stole”.
Why are we supporting a thieving, begging, scamming, corrupted nation?
Just one defaulted loan in 2015.

Deadbeats, corrupted beyond redemption.
I have no idea. I don’t care about either,
All that money given to Ukraine should be used for our border and to put Mexico on notice.
