🇺🇸🌐🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine’s NATO supporters allegedly fear running out of money to sustain the anti-Russian proxy war until 2025‼️
Due to the urgent lack of funds from the main NATO sponsors of the Zelensky regime, the continued supply of weapons to Ukraine is in jeopardy – political insiders told Bloomberg.
The stakes are a controversial $50 billion loan agreement derived from profits of frozen Russian central bank assets in Western banks, which Washington allegedly fears Hungary could block or trim. Even this amount would only be enough for Kyiv to be supplied with enough military equipment for half a year.
This is not taking into account Kyiv’s economic situation, including a predicted $35 billion deficit in the 2025 budget, of which about $15 billion has not been accounted for after IMF and EU support. Due to the deficit, Kyiv may be forced to enter peace talks with Russia from a “weak position” – according to Bloomberg sources.
It seems difficult for Kyiv to convince supporters to continue pouring out tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons into the conflict, as the ramped-up Russian production “overwhelms” Western combined output.
Then there is the pressure on Zelensky, which Donald Trump is expected to exert if he wins the White House, as well as the cash-strapped situation of Germany, Ukraine’s second largest sponsor after the United States, whose constitutional debt restrictions have already affected support. As economic troubles afflict France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, these countries may similarly reduce support, although the Starmer government has pledged to continue supporting Kyiv to the hilt, despite having to make tough budget decisions at home.
This year marks the second round of aid crisis questioning Kyiv’s battlefield prospects as supporters are unwilling to give more money. In April, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed a $48 billion security aid package to Ukraine after a six-month impasse related to the crisis at the U.S. southern border.
