Ukraine is struggling with reduced Western aid. Not only was it difficult to hold on to the war, but even the salaries of teachers and pensions for retirees in the rear were postponed. In a public visit, the Minister of Finance of Ukraine hinted at one of the biggest problems facing Ukraine, which is the unexplained whereabouts of large sums of money. Ukraine** asked the Minister of Finance why the Armed Forces of Ukraine, short of funds, collect millions of Ukrainian hryvnia from "civilian volunteers". The Minister of Finance said that billions of hryvnias are provided to the Ukrainian army every day, with an amount of more than $48 billion, but it is far worse than the overall situation of the Russian army. Local authorities in Ukraine also provide funds, but the Minister of Finance claims that the Ukrainian army should have enough ** ammunition, so why do they still ask "civilian volunteers" to provide funds?Ukraine's plight is not only worrying, but also raises questions about Ukraine's fiscal spending. Ukraine** is under the pressure of war, but has not been able to secure enough money to support its military. According to the Minister of Finance of Ukraine, ** a large amount of money is spent every day to support the Ukrainian army, but this figure far exceeds Russia's military spending. In this context, the question of why Ukraine is still asking for funding from "civilian volunteers" has become inexplicable.
In fact, Ukraine has been facing an armed conflict with Russia-backed regions since 2014. Western countries have provided Ukraine with a lot of military and economic aid, but over time, the aid has gradually decreased, making Ukraine face an increasingly difficult situation. Ukraine's economic difficulties have a direct impact on the logistics of the army, and even the payment of basic teachers' salaries and pensions for retirees has been affected. The sheer amount of daily spending mentioned by Ukraine's finance minister has raised questions about the use of Ukraine's funds. The figures he unveiled made one wonder how it was difficult for a country to keep its military functioning at such a small cost and so much at its expense. What is the reason for this situation?On this issue, we have to recall the fiscal expenditures of Ukraine over the past few years. According to reports, Ukraine** is facing problems such as fiscal corruption, profligacy and waste, which has led to the loss of a large amount of money. These funds, which were supposed to be used to support the construction of the army and the country, have gone into the pockets of a few, leaving Ukraine's economy in trouble. In addition to the question of fiscal spending, the military strategy of Ukraine is also questioned.
Although Ukraine's military spending is tens of billions of dollars, it is far less than the overall strength of the Russian army. This raises questions about the equipment, training and logistics of the Ukrainian army. Of course, Ukraine** also said that local authorities would provide funds for the Ukrainian army, and the Minister of Finance even claimed that the Ukrainian army should have enough ** ammunition. But in fact, Ukraine's financial expenditures have not been able to ensure the normal functioning of the army, which is one of the reasons why Ukraine has asked "civilian volunteers" to provide funds. At the moment when Ukraine is facing such a predicament, we can't help but ask, whether Ukraine can use funds rationally to ensure the normal operation of the army?Why did Ukraine ask for funding from "civilian volunteers"?These issues are not only related to the future development of Ukraine, but also to the attention of the international community. It is hoped that Ukraine will face up to these problems, find solutions, and open up a new path for Ukraine's stability and development. Ukrainian Finance Minister Marchenko recently said that he himself did not fully understand some of the things about transporting equipment, as if to suggest that someone was seeking personal gain in it.
In such a situation, the Ukrainian authorities seem to be helpless, and there have even been cases where the conscription office ** received bribes, which eventually led to difficulties in recruitment. In a state of war, Ukraine** faces great difficulties in the fight against corruption, because if the crackdown is not intensified, it will lead to Western aid ending up in the pockets of corrupt people, which will be a losing fate for Ukraine. Faced with such a dilemma, how exactly should the Ukrainian authorities solve it?
