Under the dark clouds of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine is facing a crisis of internal and external troubles, and one of the focal points is the financial field. The latest data reveal that despite the fact that every day there are up to 5 billion hryvnia (about 1.).$3.2 billion) flowed into the Ukrainian army, but it is still in a serious dilemma of lack of money and equipment. This seemingly contradictory situation has raised questions, and the response of the Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Sergei Marchenko, is even more shocking.
Ukraine's internal and external problems have left the once glorious country in deep trouble. Ukraine is already economically precarious in the face of the Russian threat. The weakening of Western support has deprived Ukraine of its original economy**, leaving it in a financial crisis. This dilemma is not only confined to the front lines of the war, but also affects the functioning of the country. This double whammy of internal and external troubles has plunged Ukraine into an unprecedented crisis.
Finance is the lifeblood of a country, but Ukraine's fiscal situation is incredible. Sergei Marchenko's remarks have attracted a lot of attention. The huge expenditure of 5 billion hryvnia per day was revealed, however, why the army still lacked sufficient equipment became a mystery. Marchenko himself admitted that he did not understand why the army was short of money, which raised deeper doubts. In times of war, fiscal opacity will directly threaten the security of the country.
Ukraine has long been plagued by corruption, which has become especially acute in the context of the war. Zelensky** has tried to carry out a series of anti-corruption reforms, but the results have not been satisfactory. Now, the lack of transparency in the fiscal sector is once again putting the spotlight on corruption. Marchenko's response, though tactful, clearly suggests that the financial problems may be related to internal corruption. The root cause of the problem may not just be economic pressure from the outside, but the deeper challenge lies in Ukraine's own corrupt system.
In times of war, political instability can cause serious damage to the overall combat effectiveness of the country. Zelensky had tried to take some radical measures, including the dismissal of all conscripts, but this practice created new problems. Difficulties in conscription have put the army at risk of a shortage of soldiers, further exacerbating Ukraine's predicament. At the same time, corruption and instability in politics make it more difficult to address the problem.
* As the center of the country, its operation is directly related to the stability of the entire country. However, Marchenko's unclear response to where the money is going reveals loopholes in its operations. The huge amount of money spent every day, but the inability to ensure that the army is adequately equipped, is not only a financial problem, but also a question of the effectiveness of management. The ability to effectively use funds to provide the necessary support to the military will have a direct impact on Ukraine's position in the conflict.
Ukraine had pinned its hopes on Western aid, however, over time, the weakening of external aid has put Ukraine in a dire economic situation. Having lost its original economy, Ukraine has had to face a shortage of funds, which has significantly reduced the level of combat readiness of the army. The weakening of external aid is not only an economic issue, but also involves the complexity of international relations, and Ukraine's position in the international arena is in jeopardy.
Marchenko's response to why the army lacks funding underscores the confusion in Ukraine's military support system. Despite the fact that ** is allocated daily from the state budget to support the army, there are problems with its practical implementation. Funding from local authorities has also failed to adequately meet the needs of the army, leaving it to rely on volunteers and non-** organizations to raise funds. This kind of confusion has not only affected the strength of the army, but also aroused doubts about the level of military management at home and abroad.
Zelensky has tried to solve the problems facing Ukraine through a series of reforms. Measures such as the dismissal of conscription**, anti-corruption reforms, etc., show the determination to try to ** internal problems. However, it remains to be seen whether these reforms will actually work. At the political and economic level, Zelensky needs more execution and support to ensure the smooth progress of reforms. reform efforts will determine whether Ukraine can overcome its internal and external difficulties.
Under the new situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine is not only facing tremendous pressure on the battlefield, but also mired in multiple difficulties of economic, political and corruption at the domestic and foreign levels. Operational chaos, weakening of external aid, problems with military support, and the challenges of reform make for a complex picture. The future direction of Ukraine will depend on whether it can quickly and effectively respond to this series of problems and find a way out for the country's security and development. This is not only a test of war, but also a severe test of a country's ability to unite and govern.
