Yes, Americans send aid to Ukraine, but that actually boosts their own economy. Everything Ukraine buys with dollars given will likely be from American companies.
After second Iraq war, only one Latvian company got tender for rebuilding Iraq. It was MikroTik. Why? Because it's 50% owned by American citizen.

That's ok, but doesn't mean you should not support weak good guys against bullying from the bad guys. USA has done a lot of bad things, but Russia is worse. Besides, according to Budapest memorandum, it's duty for USA to support Ukraine, as they were one of countries guarateering territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Budapest memorandum is not a treaty or military alliance or a security guarantee like NATO
