“... they are not enough and “much more” is needed.”
Wait until they start rebuilding Ukraine; it’ll cost American Taxpayers TRILLIONS.
“rebuilding Ukraine”
The most severely damage parts tend to be held by the Russian Federation.
Much of the rest consists of Communist era buildings constructed 50 to 70 years ago. They were lousy from day one.
There is more than enough in sequestered Russian assets for that.
And the stranglehold the “west” has on Russian petroleum exports, such as the price cap, ensures compliance once negotiations start.
Russia will pay, one way or another.
The bigger problem, come the peace, will be maintaining spending discipline in Ukraine. That’s a lot of cash to throw into a society that may not be able to resist unprecedented temptations. Even large scale reconstruction is on its own going to drive terrific inflation.
