“We won’t prevail in this war of attrition. We have this illusion that everything over there will collapse. It hasn’t collapsed and it won’t. Meanwhile, our own costs keep growing,” Klepach said, though he acknowledged that Ukraine’s economy continues to function thanks to Western aid.
Of course aid to Ukraine is a major factor, and Putin never hesitated to think why nobody is supporting Russia?
Yes they get stuff from Iran and North Korea, but all that is at a cost, they are not giving gifts, Russia has to pay for everything, sometimes even surplus!
Of course the alliance of the willing is also paying extra to USA for everything we buy for Ukraine from USA, because USA is no longer an ally to either democracy in general or Europe or anyone else for that matter. Except of course Russia and Israel which USA is happy to help committing war crimes and genocide.
