Except that most of that started only after Russia's invasion plans became apparent. Ukraine been asking for support ever since 2014, received only a little of it.

Also, "cannon fodder"? Ukrainian army defends its people and its country. Russian soldiers are truly cannon fodder for Russian imperialists.

Direct quotes from the US state department website:

Ukraine is a key regional strategic partner that has undertaken significant efforts to reform its military and increase its interoperability with NATO.

Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $5.6 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including security and non-security assistance. In 2021 alone we committed over $300 million in assistance to support Ukraine’s democratic and economic development, and over $650 million in security assistance.
