Ukraine has always been a piss poor country, now it will be a warn-torn country as well.
Shouldn't make fun of other countries when your gdp per capita is 1/3-4 of theirs (prewar), and now probably closer to 1/10. But it is fine, because after all of this Europe will turn Kiev into the next schweiz right?
Ukrainians have made a mistake imo: they didnt break completely with Russia when they had a chance in early 90s.
I understand it, they had some ties with Russia, after all Russians are descendants of Ukraine.
So its kind of England-Usa relations. Not easy to tear it up.
Russia were making troubles in Ukraine for like 25years already.
Buying spies, buying politicians, making propaganda lies.
And even before the 2022 war, it was a country past 2014war, at a high risk of war.
All of these was not good for making business.
So its not fair to blame Ukrainians for their country being poorer.
It isnt Ukraine fault that some NATO countries didnt want Ukraine to join NATO, in order not to provoke Russia.
Still the Russia attacked unprovoked, what a mess.
