Ukraine is continuing to call men up for service. Odd that they are rapidly enlarging the army and don’t have the money. Also odd they would proclaim to the world they are running out of money. Are they looking for handouts or suckering the Russians.

That's not odd - they sincerely think that the world is obliged to finance their opposing Russia.

Fear not.
The U.S. will borrow billions more by issuing debt for the Federal Reserve to continue monetizing. We’ll ‘loan’ this money to Ukraine to fight our proxy war with Russia, while Russia works on a pipeline through the Black Sea and entering Bulgaria with a distribution hub to come in Austria.
We had the CIA spend god only knows how much money to launch a coup that actually involved east european neo-nazis as street storm troopers, and in return judo Putin cripples the breakaway Ukraine by seizing its industrial and mineral heartland, Crimea, and setting the stage to leave them out of the gas loop to central Europe.
Good luck convincing German industry they shouldn’t buy the cheapest gas they can to fuel their factories so they can sell their goods abroad.
The Germans and the Russians have their buffer. The U.S. is delusional to try and manage their DMZ.

“Are they looking for handouts or suckering the Russians.”

Kiev is broke,
the coup government coalition fell today,
they are broke, having spent all of the US grant money and the IMF tranche,
They don’t have enough gas to get through the winter, even a mild one.

They are taking heavy losses in the field, even if they aren’t acknowledging them, forcing yet a third round of forced conscription, and “marshal law lite” as of today.

They desperately need foreign intervention, even more so than the rebels do.
