President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday put a price on how much is needed for Ukraine to survive the winter, pleading some 800 million euros (U.S.$840+ million) is necessary to help his country survive Russia’s bombing of its civilian infrastructure.
The call comes as Moscow has switched tactics since October when it began airstrikes targeting Ukraine’s energy network, plunging millions into cold and darkness at the onset of winter.
As AFP reports, Zelensky made the request for more cash donations to help the country’s energy sector at an international conference in Paris, hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, designed to raise material and money to repair Ukraine’s damaged infrastructure.

I read that too fast .I thought it said Billion.
There was a total someplace...it was in the trillions...
840 Million, not Billion, is what the headline says.
Has he started a Go Fund me page yet?
He’s like a bad Televangelist. The Lord will call him home unless you send cash today.
Ask the EU.
Here’s an idea. Let’s auction off dates with some of the Ukrainian girls out of work since their websites are down.
That had to be at least 10% of Ukraine’s GDP.
Pictures of frozen children soon.
I think if private citizens want to donate money, or other countries want to send their citizen’s tax money, I am 100% for it.
If they are specifying American tax dollars to be sent, I am 100% against it.
By what? Crashing the private jet? 🛬
Oh that’s all? Why not an even billion? After all, you are TIME’s Man of the Year!
Are we witnessing the greatest beggar the world has ever known? Will future panhandlers study the history of the Voldamyer the shameless? Impressive
$800 million/40 Million citizens = $20 each. That is not much.
“Megadeal! EU ambassadors approved in principle a package of €18 billion in support for Ukraine, 15% minimum tax for big corporations, approval of Hungary’s RRP [post-COVID recovery and resilience plan] and an agreement on conditionality,” the Czech Presidency of the European Council said on Twitter.
Having secrets about the criminal activity of the democrats, priceless.
War Crimes produce extensive damage. Russia must be defeated completely and all assets and especially oil and gas come under control of an international reparations entity to provide reconstruction funds
Russia must be ruined
Whatever, when you’re talking $150Billion this year, $200Billion next year, pretty soon you’re talking serious money. Is there a link so we can send the “donations” straight to Zellie’s, Joe’s and Lindsey’s offshore accounts to a avoid the laundry charges?
Zelensky the grifter will just keep on grifting as long as he can. There’s no auditing of any of these funds, so you can imagine where most of it is going - into the pockets of Zelensky and his pals, and whatever they can launder back to the Dems.
The cost of $1 Trillion has been cited in other sources.
The cost of $40-$60 billion a month has been cited as what the Uke govt needs to sustain itself ( aside from weapons)
Current debt to GDP is 80% and will be 100% by January.
Ukraine derives 2/3 of its GDP by loans and donations.
Basically, Ukraine is the guy on the street with a sign begging for money.
