Russia is spending about EUR 340 billion on the war, while Ukraine is spending EUR 140 billion, so we need to make the war painful for Russia itself, so that Russian society feels the impact and pushes Putin toward negotiations.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is spending around EUR 340 billion on the war, while Ukraine's expenditure is EUR 140 billion. He emphasized the need to make the war costly for Russia, so that its society feels the impact and pushes President Putin towards negotiations.
Zelenskyy marked 35 years since Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union with a defiant speech, vowing that the country will not surrender to Russian aggression. He was joined by foreign leaders, including UK Prime Minister, who promised to maintain support for Kyiv despite Russian threats.
