Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday asked the international community to cover an expected budget deficit of $38 billion next year for his war-torn country, with Moscow's invasion also badly hitting the economy.

At an international reconstruction conference for Ukraine in Berlin, Zelensky urged European leaders to offer greater financial support for his country more than eight months after Vladimir Putin sent Russian troops into Ukraine.

"At this very conference we need to make a decision on assistance to cover next year's budget deficit for Ukraine," Zelensky said via video-link. "It's a very significant amount of money, a $38 billion deficit," he added.

Fear? It seems the WEF/Zelelenskybators are the ones promoting fear as though Russia, if successful in the ukraine, will be invading CONUS next week.

It’s not our problem and we should have a damned thing to do with it.

NO! Sit down at the negotiating table before another red cent, soldier, or weapon is given.

He’s oblivious to propaganda which is being used on both sides. Our Feeper talks like he is there.

“ Know that if this goes as bad as it could that many of those who survive are going to be holding a serious grudge against the ones who supported this shit.”

Exactly, sort of how we feel about Biden supporters. We probably would not even be in this situation if Biden wasn’t in the WH being run by war hungry swamp creatures.

They should lend it at market rates, but with a slight discount due to distressed circumstances. No free rides. And that’s not mean-spirited, it’s respect.

$38 billion here, $38 billion there...It never ends. It’s another reason the war must end with Ukraine surrendering.

He is suffering from USSR PTSD after the Cold War. I get it. I lived through it. My father escaped communism in Hungary to come here.

I hated the USSR and despise Putin who is just a KGB guy that rose to the top of a corrupt nation.

But I am not blinded to the reality that Ukraine is more corrupt than Russia and this border dispute is none of our business.

“$38 bn”

By my arithmetic, that would be about 42 kilotons of dollar bills, or 10.5 megatons of pennies. Drop that from some altitude, and rain death on your foes.

Agree

Very fortunate your father was able to leave Hungary. I hope he was able to share his experience. My grandfather fought in the Spanish civil war. He managed to get my grandmother and my mom out of Madrid to a safer and rural area in Spain, which was a difficult task. I was born under Franco’s regime.

Zelensky’s like those relatives or friends you avoid because they’re always trying to suck as much of your hard-earned money off of you as they can.

Just ran across this: The European Union will provide Ukraine with 1 billion euros and 400 electric generators for the urgent restoration of energy supply. Head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.

Woot, lights back on in Kyiv, for a bit anyhow?

That thought is archaic and passe.

Ukraine is now supported by much of the world and the corruption is a thing of the past. Defeating Russia is where it currently is at.

Your perception is wrong.

I observe and present a finding. I am not locked in to archaic dogma
