RE: They are Now turning on Each other while UK lift Sanctions23 Jul 2023 21:54
Ukraine cannot win this war, neither can it afford to continue with it for much longer. The area Russia currently occupies used to account for over 70% of Ukraine exports so there's not much foreign currency being earned either. The war is almost entirely fought on borrowed money (from US, EU, other countries, IMF, World bank) in the form of loans, aid or lend lease program. Ukraine forex reserves currently stands at record levels, but its all made up of borrowed money which will have to be paid back.
Add to this the ending of Ukraine grain export agreement which will add to inflationary pressures globally. Further lack of progress in the counter offensive means disappointed partners on whom Ukraine depends for support and survival.
Most recently, Russia have started bombing Odessa and surrounding Black Sea costal areas taking out more infrastructure, crippling Ukraine's ability to trade.
Russia is well dug in and conducting a war of attrition to which Ukraine have no answer.
where does Ukraine go from here?
