Russian Opposition figure Mikhail Khodorkovsky ️ Putin spends about $120bn a year on the war – 5.4% of Russia’s $2.2 trillion GDP – with the most commonly used Russian shell costing about $500 ️ European aid to Kyiv over two years amounts to $88bn – about % of the EU’s GDP – with shells that cost between $5,000 and $8,0002 ️ This means that, if we include the American contribution, Putin is outproducing the West by at least 2.5:1. This year, without US support, that ratio jumps to 4:1 ️ At the start of the war, Russia’s population was 142 million to Ukraine’s 40 million – a ratio of about 3.5:1. Now, two years later, that ratio is 7:1. And yet, we demand that Ukraine continue to fight on – but with what? ️ At the current rate, Kharkiv will fall within the year, and Odesa – next year. By 2026, Ukraine will be capable only of maintaining a small-scale partisan resistance – and that is in the best case scenario Mikhail Khodorkovsky Source: /CIG/ Telegram | Counter Intelligence Global
