Pretty sure they already know that won’t be enough, like with what’s being expended on the war already. Ukraine has virtually no economy until the war ends, and that’d be devastatingly expensive for an entire country even not fighting a war.

But I also want to point out, lumping all the cost on Russia might be another treaty of Versailles style mistake. Any Russian not yet born or old enough to be involved right now, doesn’t bear responsibility and shouldn’t be made to. They don’t need actual legit grievances to want revenge against the west for.

Normally I’d be on your side. But I have to point out, for Americans at least, after 20 years of Afghanistan, being suspicious of corruption risks in giving aid is a very very well founded concern.

Because if all these orgs had mechanisms to prevent corruption lmfao, buddy, nobody told that to the afghans, not to mention the US politicians and businessmen who figured out how to discretely take advantage for their own benefits.

But I’m just saying that experience is hard to forget. Ukraine isn’t Afghanistan, luckily no other country is quite like that place. Ukraine is fully worth trying to help until the unlikely chance they prove otherwise.
