Ukraine needs between $3 billion and $4 billion every month to keep its government from collapsing amid the ongoing conflict with Russia, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said.
“Indeed, the Ukrainian authorities have done an impressive job in managing their economy through extremely difficult circumstances following Russia’s invasion,” IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said.

Ask Germany for it - they are saving lots of money by not buying Russian gas. :)
How much of that goes to US officials to keep the grift going?
Apparently, being invaded by the wanna-be has-been former superpower next door isn’t great for your economy. Who knew? Russky go home.
I say we help them out after we’ve zeroed out our deficit.
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Gabby Giffords will serve as grand marshal of the 134th Rose Parade next year.
The former Democratic congresswoman from Arizona will ride down Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena on Jan. 2. Giffords will be part of the coin flip for the 109th Rose Bowl game later that day.
Perogis and caviar with your stuffed mattresses.
It is graft, folks.
The West now probably supplies 80+% of their GDP. Ukraine supplies the cannon-fodder, and we supply the money and weapons.
Ukraine is now so beholden to, and dependent on the USA, it has no independence whatsoever - any wavering of Western political support - and Ukraine will cease to exist.
Zelensky is the new Duong Van Minh in Vietnam, Al-Maliki in Iraq, or Ashraf Ghani in Afghanistan.
Totally unsustainable! It’s eye watering amounts of money we are throwing away while we head into recession
I know where 10% goes.
They are laughing at us like they did during the pandemic
Western Europe needs to fund them. It is a regional conflict in their backyard and a vital national security interest to them, not the US, 3000 miles away

I’m pretty neutral in this Uke-Russ thing as I think both are corrupt. I’m just against us hemorrhaging our money and resources to support either side.
I’m not sure if this article is propaganda or not, but if a nation can’t support itself without massive monthly money injections from other nations, perhaps they need a complete overhaul of their government.
"For just $4 Billion a month, you can keep Democracy alive..."
25% of the people have left. And they’re probably learning that Zelensky has done little to nothing for them.
Just ask joe. He’ll be willing to send OUR money to keep Ukraine from revealing what they’ve got on him.
If Ukraine does survive as a nation, WHEN do we American taxpayers get all of these billions of dollars of OUR money back?
None of the 50 states of the USA are entitled to live completely off all U.S. taxpayers as Ukraine currently does.
The survival or collapse of Ukraine as a country will have absolutely no impact on the lives of regular people in America. Only crooked American politicians reap any reward (kickbacks) from Ukraine.
The ultimate fate of Ukraine is NONE OF AMERICA’S BUSINESS.
Bet the big guy is getting his cut
