On balance I would say no. That money has been paid to the EU, so whatever happens they are not seeing it again, whether it goes to Ukraine ( which may use it to buy weapons from those countries ) or is used for industrial development somewhere in the EU. The EU is donating from its pre-existing budget: there has been no special levy to raise cash for Ukraine.
