” unless the West invests hundreds of billions”
EU and the west are already having high level meetings on how to do just that. From what I have seen, Ukraine had already done a far better job of raising the living level for its people than Russia has done. Otherwise why would the invaders be stealing washing machines, dishwashers, microwaves, and toilets? Ukraine is certainly not more devastated than was Germany at the end of WW2, so why imagine that they cannot rebuild newer and better too?
Supporting nations will vote legislation to provide the economic support for rebuilding. Such money voted will support a lot of jobs in the voting countries, resulting in employment, and tax dollars. Anyone ever hear of “high velocity dollars”? Can’t remember the name of the economist who coined that phrase, but the concept appears to work well.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Nice fake news you got there
Ukraine is doing so well they are begging for 5 billion dollars A MONTH and they are arresting women on the street and turning them into soldiers
