To win the war, Ukraine must save the economy at the same time/Website of Shepetovka
Many people think that economic recovery is what comes after the war. This is a big misconception.
A front that should not be forgotten
Without economic recovery, we have exactly zero chances to survive in a prolonged military confrontation.
We spend one month annual state budget for the war. So far, Western partners are covering this money for us. They can stop doing this at any time if they think things are going wrong, or to encourage us to sit down at the negotiating table with Putin and cede territory or something.
Have you ever played a strategy computer game? It is necessary to build and fight at the same time, because if you stop building, then resources quickly run out – and there is nothing left to fight.
War is an economy
If restoration – this is something that will happen after the war, what will happen to people who now have nowhere to live? Let them wait for the end of the war? And the bombed-out enterprises that produce critical products, is this also after the war? Are the roads and bridges destroyed, without which defense is impossible? You are mistaken, the economy is war.
