The mountains and rivers are exhausted?Ukrainian** proposes to "delay the payment of salaries and pensions": priority for national defenseIn stark contrast to last year, the current Ukraine is in a rather difficult situation, and it is far from the calm state of "what you want, you want to have**" in the past.
Just like the United States recently announced that it "has no money on it" and will no longer generously provide large amounts of military aid until Congress approves a new bill. At the same time, many European countries are also cutting military aid, which makes Ukraine feel quite embarrassed.
In this case, Zelensky has no choice but to consider "delaying the payment of salaries and pensions" to support defense spending.
The Minister of Economy of Ukraine noted that there is no longer any extra money left, and it is only necessary to prioritize defense spending. If Western countries cannot provide funds, pensions and salaries will be stopped for retired workers, state civil servants and teachers.
Despite the fact that this will put the social sector in a major crisis, Ukraine already has no choice. From this statement, it follows that Ukraine is already in financial difficulties and is unable to maintain state spending.
Even so, it is unlikely that Western countries will provide much support at this time. Just like Biden in the United States, who is mired in a bipartisan conflict and an electoral crisis, it is impossible to over-aid Ukraine at this juncture.
Germany, as an economic powerhouse in Europe, was unable to provide timely assistance due to economic problems. As for other Western countries, they are even more reluctant to provide support against the will of the people.
In many Western countries, we can see a huge voice of opposition, and it is not allowed to "help Ukraine too much".
The war in Ukraine has already caused great pain and destruction to the Ukrainians. Many Westerners feel that aiding Ukraine will only prolong the war and cause more casualties, and they want to see peace, not more war and destruction.
Moreover, the war in Ukraine has affected the global economy. Many Western countries have economic recession, inflation, and ** chain problems.
Supporting Ukraine could exacerbate the problem, bringing more economic pressure and instability. Westerners prefer to solve their country's economic problems and ensure people's lives.
And there is a growing controversy within Western countries about supporting Ukraine. Some politicians feel that supporting Ukraine is necessary to uphold Western values and democracy, while others feel that supporting Ukraine could lead to more conflict. The two political differences have made many Westerners suspicious of supporting Ukraine.
The war in Ukraine has triggered a series of geopolitical risks that have worried residents of some Western countries. They fear that supporting Ukraine could lead to more aggressive moves by Russia or even a nuclear conflict.
Because of this geopolitical risk, many Western residents are cautious about supporting Ukraine, preferring to see their ** push Russia and Ukraine to resolve their differences through dialogue and negotiation rather than taking military action.
In terms of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, many Western residents have expressed anti-war sentiments. They are convinced that war will only bring more suffering and destruction, rather than solving substantive problems.
Recent reports and internal strife in Ukraine have exposed the enormous difficulties that Ukraine faces in achieving victory. Therefore, these people are reluctant to further support Ukraine, and even less willing to be behind the war.
In this case, the inhabitants of the West are gradually losing confidence in ** aid to Ukraine. For Western countries, public opinion cannot be ignored either, as this can lead to public resentment and reduce the approval rating.
Especially since the elections in most Western countries will be ushered in early next year, countries do not dare to ignore the views of voters in this sensitive period, so as not to lose the support of voters because of aid to Ukraine.
As a result of these factors, more and more Western countries are beginning to take a more cautious stance on aiding Ukraine. This will be a serious challenge for Ukraine, because it is simply impossible to effectively confront Russia on its own.
