  1. That’s 4 billion more than Meta gained the day after the company’s latest earnings report.

    Not making any point, just noting.

  2. That number seems shockingly low. Although I haven’t personally financed a war before so I don’t really know

  3. That’s very interesting. And how much we’ve spent on Ukrainian aid so far?

  5. Sooo why isn’t Russia fucked?

    Doesn’t seem to matter how many men they lose, how much cash.

  7. So I guess all those sanctions arent doing any harm then.

  8. “Sorry no money for healthcare. Who’s gonna pay for it?”

  10. Rookie numbers, gotta pump that up! \s Relax, just making a ‘Wolf of Wallstreet’ joke here, but seriously, that’s all they’ve spent so far? That number does seem a bit low considering the loss of men and material, but I guess Russia doesn’t ascribe any value to lost lives….

  12. The new reefs at the bottom of the Black Sea are expensive.

  13. A lot of money that could have gone to help Russian citizens .. but nope

  14. How much did the world lose on this war? You know, by sending aid, having gas and other products double in price in Europe etc.

  15. Another 300bn of $ got frozen on Russia’s central bank accounts abroad and eventually will go to Ukraine sooner or later. So basically it could be said that Russia literally paid for every bullet that had been fired on this war. From both sides.

  16. Back into their own economy alot of it went. No different than the US paying out big contracts to produce weapons here in North America. War is a money maker n many ways and I’m guessing many Russians are actually profiting quite well.

  17. That’s 20% of what US spends on non-war military spending per year.

  18. Considering that they just round up a bunch of poor ethnic minorities and bus them to the front lines, that price seems about right lol

  19. Pentagon that cant pass a audit and has failed 6 estimating others losses🤣

  20. That seems shockingly low, it at the same time, Russias GDP is 12x lower (08%) than the US GDP, so it’s also still significant.

    If the US has sent a total of $100B to Ukraine, that’s a total of .38% of our annual GDP. Russia spending a total of $200B is equivalent to 9.5% of their annual GDP. That’s 25x the impact.

    Seems like from a military and geopolitical standpoint, the helping Ukraine is a solid investment for the US, especially considering much of our aid has been in the form of weapons and equipment we already had and were planning on replacing or upgrading anyways.

  21. I mean the US has spent about the same amount and it’s not even a war that we’re fight right. Just keep the money printer turned on

  22. Now do the pentagon! How much did they spend. Check the audits, right?

  23. 200 billion is less than the amount the Pentagon ‘can’t find’ every time when they fail their yearly audit.

  24. shouldn’t ukraine be kicking ass?

    I know for fact they have spent wayyyyyy more..

    Where is the money going into? Clearly not military, AVDIKKA for example

  25. At least they are involved in the war. We’ve probably spent more

  26. What is the “news” here? It’s cost the US $73b, the EU $55b, and other “donor” countries $20b. $200b from Russia is incredibly low.

  28. It cost the US over $100 billion and we are not even in the war

  30. They have another $355 million bill coming due in New York.

  31. Just imagine how many schools and hospitals Russia could have built with this money if they hadn’t spent it on blowing up Ukrainian schools and hospitals.

  35. The article doesn’t spell out how that number was arrived at, but it’s likely only what they have actively spent on the war.

    It does not include the value of destroyed equipment. So far, they are out 6500 tanks, 12K armored combat vehicles, 332 aircraft, 325 helicopters, 25 naval ships and 1 submarine. These will have to be replaced at some point which is probably on the order of one *trillion* dollars.

    In the end, we are going to defeat Putin ironically the same way we defeated the Soviet Union: outspending them on defense.

  37. Oh, dear! Maybe MAGAts need start donating their paychecks to poor Russia! Putin could use a little help! Ukraine has made Russian life so hard!

  38. Wow they’re almost as wasteful with their money than we are
