It seems this will be a way for Ukraine to pay for its defense, since Europe is not willing to cover the cost and the US is no longer willing to do it either. It also puts countries that live under the US umbrella in a position to start thinking about their own security. For Ukraine this seems like a win, allowing them to defend themselves at the cost of things underground that they haven't cared to touch, all while receiving protection from the US.
