Most of the funds for our aid never leave the USA. Instead the funds are held in trust accounts in New York City banks and the funds are typically paid out to US suppliers of arms and etc. who then ship the products abroad.
This is part of why the FTX scandal is so important. The funds diverted to FTX were designated for Ukrainian assistance and instead the New York bankers laundered the money through FTX in order to provide donations/graft to the Democrats.

That is a common perception however the reality is far more complex. I think you are referring to US foreign military assistance but there is a lot of direct funding for NATO. We pay substantial amounts for what is known as “NATO common funding” which includes such things as the costs of some operations, training and exercises, joint facilities, NATO headquarters and staff. There are also a lot more hidden costs related to various defense programs.
Its all very complicated and opaque, which of course is just the way the bureaucrats want it to be so as to avoid accountability.
