“Ukraine may have to postpone pay for public servants and pension payments to millions of its citizens if the EU and US fail to deliver promised financial aid early next year, its deputy prime minister has warned.
The Ukrainian government is racing to cobble together money to pay for public services and benefits after promised funding from its closest allies failed to come through. It needs $37bn in external support next year.” - Dec. 27, 2023

Yeah but most of the money is going to arms. WE may need to help keep the government afloat as well. But, this is not really about Ukraine it is about Russia. We need to put Russia in its place. I have lived for 40 years dealing with an dangerous, evil and aggressive Soviet Union. I thought we were threw with all of that when to Soviet Union collapsed and Communism was over thrown. I was wrong and Russia is till the same aggressive thug that looks at the rest of the world (including us) through its gun sites. I want them taken out and that will only happen through a war and I would rather see that war fought by Ukraine then us.
Maybe half the money is going to arms, we don’t need to keep one of the most corrupt governments afloat with our money, we can’t even keep our own debt under control - and entering a new war is ridiculous. The Soviet Union is long gone, get your head out of the 1980’s
May I remind you that Putin has been saying that Alaska was illegally sold and really belongs to Russia. I guess you can’t figure out the meaning of that can you? The Soviet Union is gone but that mind set still exists as we are finding out. The Russian thug needs to be dealt with. Much of the corruption was done by the preceding government that Zelensky replaced. No, it is a better thing to end the Russian problem so we do not have to spend money protecting ourselves from it which in current realities we need to do. Spending what we are doing is frankly a bargain considering the alternative so stoop being a cheap skate as this is important.
You are losing your mind - Zelensky is the most corrupt to date.
Your brain is stuck in the 1980’s
No the most corrupt was the Russian supporter who preceded him.
I showed you articles showing that our tax dollars are paying Ukrainian pensions and you chose to ignore them and talk about Russia, Alaska, Putin and how Zelensky isn’t as corrupt as they come.
You are a silly person, and I won’t waste time with silly people.
Send us pictures from the front after you sign up to fight
” Russia, Alaska, Putin and how Zelensky isn’t as corrupt as they come.”
Because that is what is really important. It is not about Ukraine it is about Russia, got that? Most of the money, by fa, is still going to fight Russia.
