Two years into the war against Russia, the funding spigot to Ukraine from the West has been essentially turned off.
Ukraine is short of soldiers and ammunition.
And Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky is running out of time.
“A year ago, Volodymyr Zelensky was riding high. True, Ukraine wasn’t winning the war against Russia. But the president was receiving billions of dollars from the United States and the European Union, enabling him to maintain the loyalty of his military and intelligence community,” independent journalist Steve Rodan noted in a Dec. 19 Substack.com analysis.
“Today, Zelensky is rapidly losing his money and influence. Washington has been forced to drastically reduce funding and the EU has stopped the faucet.”
The EU, meanwhile, vetoed a $55 billion aid proposal for Kiev.
