“GIVE” is a word that applies to supplying bread to starving orphans.
“SELL” is a word that applies to supplying weapons to Ukraine.
If Ukraine is paying us for weapons that we gave them to begin with then we’re not selling them weapons were giving them weapons. And you have to remember that Putin is not a Washington DC politician who says things just to say that I wanna point something out to all of you; that nations that have come out of Socialism and communism like Russia understand the value of telling the truth, something is the Western countries have yet to learn. For that reason I take Putin very seriously when he says that there will be consequences for sending these weapons in for all the countries involved.
