I’d be more impressed if they hadn’t received years worth of Russia’s annual military budget in weapons and handouts from the West to just stay afloat.
How long would they have survived without the foreign welfare?
The important thing is what they have done with what the West has given them, Ukraine has been extraordinary against Russia.
We give them our old weapons stored to defeat Russia, and we don’t have to pay to dispose of them and they are being used against the country they were supposed to be used against.
