Although the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is now in its second year, the amount that Ukraine is demanding from the United States is still staggering. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was reportedly told during his visit to Ukraine that Ukraine needs 17 million artillery shells. This number took Austin by surprise, as the world did not seem to find so many shells**. In addition, Ukraine also asked the United States for $350 billion to $400 billion in aid, which is equivalent to about 2 yuan8 trillion yuan. This amount is almost equivalent to the U.S. defense budget for fiscal year 2024 and accounts for 12 percent of total U.S. spending9%。Austin found disbelief at Ukraine's huge demands. However, Ukraine's demands seem very unrealistic, both for shells and for funding. Ukraine's demands are sky-high, but they may not only be Ukraine's urgent need for resources. On the issue of aid, Western countries really did not fulfill their promises, but Ukraine could not eitherThe right to speakon dominated. As soon as the United States decided to abandon aid to Ukraine,International** Likely to be one-sided in its criticism of Ukraine. The sky-high asking price of the Ukrainian side may reflect the frustration and powerlessness of the Ukrainian ** and the people. Although the Ukrainian side tried to shift the blame, it is already too late, because Ukraine, as the losing party in the conflict, is destined to bear part of the blame.
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is already in its second year, and Ukraine is eager to get itInternationalSupport and assistance from the community. However, due to bipartisan infighting in the United States and the defeat of Ukraine **,United States**The application for a new grant to Ukraine has not yet been approved. It is understoodThe White HouseThe total amount of funds applied for is about 100 billion US dollars, of which about 60 billion US dollars are aided to Ukraine. However, in the latest talks, the two sides still did not make any progress. House of RepresentativesSince the speaker took office, he has not passed a single bill to aid Ukraine. Some US politicians are worried that the aid bill for Ukraine will not be passed before next year. The White HouseHe also pessimistically said that it will be difficult to continue to assist Ukraine by the end of the year. Ukraine does not seem to see itAmerican PoliticsThey made an astonishingly huge demand for assistance from the United States.
The Ukrainian side made alarming demands during a meeting with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. According to reports, Ukraine** quoted sources as saying that Ukraine asked for 17 million artillery shells**, a figure that Austin found unbelievable. Because the whole world can't seem to meet such a huge demand. In addition, Ukraine has asked the United States for $350 billion to $400 billion in aid funds. The conversion rate is about 28 trillion yuan, which is almost half of the U.S. defense budget for fiscal year 2024. This huge Ukrainian demand is particularly striking, not only because of its sheer volume, but also because it seems to be an unrealistic figure compared to the real situation.
Although Ukraine has made huge requests for assistance from the United States, these demands seem to go beyond reality, both from the point of view of financial strength and resources**. In the case of artillery shell demand, for example, the world does not seem to be able to meet Ukraine's demand for 17 million artillery shells. Previously,European UnionA million artillery shells were promised to Ukraine, but the actual number was less than a third of the original promise. And the $400 billion in aid requested by Ukraine is almost half of the US defense budget. The Ukrainian side is asking for such huge amounts of money and resources, it seems that it wants to get something like RussiaMilitarystrength, in order to winRussian army。However, the Ukrainian army has been facing a dilemma of insufficient resources in the conflict, far from the same level as the Russian army.
In addition to the urgent need for resources, Ukraine's sky-high price to the United States may also reflect the frustration and helplessness of Ukraine** and its people.
