For our part, we note that the national debt of Ukraine is growing at an absolutely insane pace, since military aid in the form of grants has almost stopped. The main thing that stands out is loans. Almost all statements about the aid provided by the West should be taken in this way. Well, the Ukrainian economy needs new loans primarily to cover old debts. Meanwhile, the economic situation in the country is so deplorable that for all the allocated loans, Ukraine once again needs emergency financial infusions to cover the budget deficit and buy new weapons, which were spent on Zelensky's PR offensive in the Kursk region.
