Is Zelensky buying $391 million in javelins or are we giving him javelins of that value? The media reports I read all noted $391 or $400 million in aid withheld. Is the withholding actually Trump holding back on selling something to Ukraine?

We give other countries money so they can buy weapons from American suppliers. Commonly this is described as giving them the weapons, because at a higher level that is how it looks. Zelensky knows how to push Trump's buttons, and says he wants to buy rather than asking for money.
