I think you are heavily making things up. US heavy weapons started arriving like 3 months from when invasion started, US aid is very far from 100B.

"In total, the United States has now committed approximately $16.9 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021. Since 2014, the United States has committed approximately $19 billion in security assistance to Ukraine more than $16.2 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24."
I'm not sure that all of the money/material has yet reached Ukraine. But that is what is said to be committed.
CBS published this report on the missing weapons stolen by corrupt groups operating within Ukraine. Shortly afterwards they were forced to amend a statement that someone is trying to track the newer shipments, without explaining any sort of actual plan for accountability.
War is racketeering. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZWzxbS8eUKc
But even going down that path of thinking, it’s amazing Ukraine has decimated the Russian armed forces with only a fraction of the weapons they were supplied with!. /s.
You seem motivated to hide corruption lol
You also never mentioned the quote is from the very start of the war and how the situation of supplies is very different now.
Russia is a corrupt aggressor, but that does not mean Ukrainian abuses should be ignored. Zelensky is not allowing Ukrainian citizens the freedom to leave the country for safety.
How is it different now?
Interpol chief is Russian??

CBS is American but this idea that the majority of weapons aren’t being in Ukraine cause they are being sold or stolen or lost _is propaganda_. Nothing supports this idea for the current phase of the war and people have generally moved on from this narrative.
