Western countries have provided significant assistance in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the size of which is proportional to the size and affluence of the country. Major donors include the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany, which are the top donors in terms of funding. However, Ukraine's failure to emerge victorious on the battlefield, despite such strong support, makes it almost impossible to imagine a scenario of their victory over Russia. Ukraine's defeat has dealt a heavy blow to Western countries, which have not only spent huge sums of money but ultimately failed to reap the desired returns, but also exposed their own vulnerabilities and highlighted Russia's strength. Against this background, a number of countries that have assisted Ukraine are beginning to think about how to stop losses in time, in which France is in the lead (Zelensky and Macron). France has already taken action to send arms to Ukraine through Tig.
According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, Ukraine's Kyiv Post newspaper said that France's oldest firearms manufacturer, Verny Karen, signed a *** contract worth 36 million euros with Ukraine, including 10,000 automatic rifles, 2,000 sniper rifles and 400 grenade launchers. According to the report, the profit of this order is expected to exceed expectations, because the French export to Ukraine is 20-30% higher than the French domestic market. Why do you want to increase the price of ** arms to Ukraine?This is related to a decision by France**. French Defense Minister Le Cornu previously said that France intends to stop supplying ** to Ukraine for free, and instead support Kyiv to buy ** directly from French manufacturers**. This means that France will pay cash to Ukraine for Kyiv to buy on its own**. Although Ukraine will eventually get, there will certainly be a difference between what France procures and what Ukraine procures. In this way, France hopes to recover some of the cost of aid.
Western aid to Ukraine) fully shows that aid is not gratuitous, and it is provided in different ways, some in the form of financial assistance, some in the form of military equipment, and some in the form of loans. Not all of this so-called aid is gratuitous, only part of it is given as a gift, and the rest needs to be repaid by Ukraine. Ukraine is in economic distress and is unable to repay its debts. At the same time, American companies have stepped in in an attempt to acquire Ukraine's state assets. Despite the West's professed unwavering support for Ukraine, the reality is that Ukraine will not be able to get out of its debt woes, even decades from now. In addition, those gratuitous aids may also be withdrawn in some way. In general, Western aid is neither gratuitous nor will allow Ukraine to pick up benefits in vain. (Ukrainian ** Zelensky's remarks). Zelensky's decision has caused great distress to Ukraine. If a peace agreement had been reached in the peace talks in Turkey last year, Ukraine would have suffered much less.
At that time, the war lasted only about a month, and Ukraine was not in deep trouble, and did not suffer much loss in all aspects, including personnel, economy and territory. However, Zelensky was gullible to the West and overturned the peace talks, which led to Ukraine falling into a protracted war. Today, Ukraine has lost not only its present, but also its future. In the future, Ukraine will be saddled with heavy debts, and there will be a generation or even two generations that will work for the West in order to repay the so-called aid.
