Ukraine needs to lock in what it has already achieved
What exactly do they think they’ve achieved at this point?
Man, what a reach. Imagine hanging your hat on that as a justification for so many deaths.
I’m curious what they base the assessment that Ukraine’s economic outlook is not bad on.
They will be able to purchase all of Ukraine once the war is over, so it’s not a bad economic outlook at all for the US bourgeoisie lol
A small problem with that plan is that Russia is likely going to be taking over most of Ukraine at this point.
Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the past year is how well the economy has held up under the strain of war and occupation, even allowing for the fact that around 70% of the Ukrainian budget is covered by international assistance. Inflation has been kept under control, falling from 27% in December to 11% last month. GDP will grow slightly next year by 1%-2%.
Yes, shooting a dying geriatric with steroids to make them stand up is not a bad outlook
It’s ripe for some good old neoliberal shock therapy and mass privatization.
