  2. And once the US cuts all support for Ukraine, they’ll be losing the economic and actual war.

  3. I feel like the only reason Ukraine’s economy is holding on is because of all the western support of other countries.

    Once that support will shorten, which it will since other European countries/US are already less excited over aiding Ukraine, Ukraine will absolutely crumble at least economically. Russia got their fuels to keep their economy running, and so far it dosent seems worth it for the world to cut themselves from Russian fuel.

  5. Ukraine’s progress is impressive, but they’ll need continued assistance to avoid economic collapse.

  6. Keep printing rubles, boys! That should allow us to beat them!

  7. Russia’s economy is so fucked. They’re like someone who lost their job, cashed out their 401k, went on a bender buying new clothes and a new car, and people are looking at them going “Gosh, they’re out of work, but somehow they look like they’re doing as good as ever!”

    But they’re not. And the proverbial bill is coming due. They are in the beginning stages of economic collapse right now, soon will come the housing and banking bankruptcies.

    Ukraine is in a situation where they may lose the battles but win the war.

  10. Winning for now but situation can quickly change should Trump pull rug out of Ukraine’s feet.

    Should that happen Europe need to step up and continue support Ukraine to not only resist but to enable Ukraine to make ever deeper attack inside Russia to humiliate Putin at his incompetence to prevent Ukrainian counter-attack.

  12. We need to bring back Russia to the West. If Russia crumbles China will anex Manchuria and Siberia. Do the West need a stronger China??? Ukraine will never enter in the UE. The Germans and the French will not share the power over Europe with the Ukrainian.

  13. This is insane.

    Ukraine is currently at 9% of their pre-war electricity production. Most of their heavy industry and resource producing regions are either on the front line or occupied. A huge portion of the working age population has fled the country, another huge portion have been killed or maimed, with those left largely in hiding or on the front line.

    Ukraine is literally, literally, living on foreign aid to pay their pensions.

  14. Doesn’t hurt that they sink their own oil tankers.

  15. They have lost half the population, half of the energy production and 1/4 of their territory…makes sense
