On Wednesday, Ukraine’s finance minister Serhiy Marchenko admitted the country can sustain its defense effort for only 6 months in 2025 if the US aid stops coming in. He said it Kyiv will need to build bridges with the new US administration.
“What must we do to address this challenge? We need a plan to create conditions for cooperation with the new U.S. administration. It is in Ukraine’s natural interest to build trust and ensure collaboration. This should be a strategic priority for both Ukraine and Europe,” said Marchenko .
He stressed Kyiv can’t afford to lose time and must prepare for negotiations with Trump officials though he sounded confident at this point as there are sufficient funds and weapons to resist aggression until mid-2025.
“We will allocate adequate funding for the procurement of ammunition and essential military equipment in 2025,” he added.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
