In 2014 , the Ukraine GDP was £133 bn. Statistics since that time have shown significant annual rises despite the country’s economic woes. Currently it is estimated at £200 bn. Even so, the £9 bn monthly handout that Ukraine is seeking amounts to £108 bn per year.
That would equate to a handout of 81% of Ukraine’s 2014 GDP.
Are those statistics based on the word of the lying Ukrainian authorities and their western bosses? Probably alchemy with numbers aided by massive money laundering. Ukrainians have gotten poorer and more miserable since the 2014 coup.
Agreed. That is why I did not not even bother to use the claimed 2021 GDP in my calculation.
It is astounding that Zelensky expects the West not just to cover the government’s budget , but to fund 4/5 of the country’s GDP.
