The United States continues to increase its support for Ukraine. In addition to a series of military aid to Ukraine, US President Biden signed the Ukrainian version of the Lend-Lease Act on Monday local time to unblock the aid pipeline.

"CNBC" reported that the full name of the Ukrainian Lend-Lease Act is the "Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022", which was passed by both houses of Congress at the end of April and sent to Biden for signature.

This will be the biggest debt trap (US$33 bln) that is way larger than the tiny debt that OBOR countries owe to China.
Worse will be that weapons are perishables and do not generate revenue nor improve the citizens life unlike productive assets like seaports, railway lines or highways.
