Ukraine’s allies have dramatically scaled back their pledges of new aid to the country, which have fallen to their lowest level since the start of the war, the German-based Kiel Institute’s Ukraine aid tracker showed Thursday.
“The dynamics of support to Ukraine have slowed,” the Kiel Institute said, adding that new military, financial and humanitarian aid pledged to Ukraine between August and October 2023 fell almost 90 percent compared with the same period in 2022, reaching its lowest point since the start of the war in February 2022.
The figures come amid signs of growing cracks in Western support for Ukraine as Kyiv’s highly-anticipated counteroffensive fails to yield a breakthrough and the world’s attention pivots to the Israel-Hamas war.
Ukies must yolo it now. Wait 3 more months and it will at best be a stalemate, at worst the Russians will start to creep back into lost areas. Ukies will suffer horrendous losses by yoloing but Zelensky must bear the price of freedom.
I think I’ll leave it up to the Ukrainians to decide that. They’re better informed than I am and they’re the ones who’ll be paying.
