How much does Ukraine cost Europe? Less than we think

https://voxeurop.eu/en/europe-ukraine-cost-war-refugees/

As Washington steps back, new figures show that, contrary to what some in Brussels and various EU countries say, financing Ukraine is not a costly burden but a rational investment for Europe – far cheaper than the economic, security and humanitarian price of a Russian victory.

The only thing Ukraine will cost us is our humanity if we let them be overrun by 21st century colonialism

How much does Europe (and the rest of the West) cost Ukraine?

Timbits@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 230d (1 reply)

Less than Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or India.

Yes, that's for sure. What I wanted to say with this is that the West (Europe and other allies) should do much more to support Ukraine to win this war. (Tomahawks, Taurus missiles would be one good idea.) At the moment Ukraine and its people pay a high price for protecting Western values imho.

It's cost them Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and tens of thousands of lives.

Yeah without west fucking m*scovites surely wouldn't have tried to make us their vassals, like they did from 90s.

How much would not having Ukraine between it and Russia cost Europe?
