$120 billion a year! Ukraine is preparing for a new phase in the war with Russia

There are signs that Ukraine is preparing for a new phase of the war, in which foreign support will be reduced and the country will have to rely more on its own forces, Reuters writes, citing a source. The article with the original title: "Ukraine does not expect miracles from Zelensky's visit to the US, where he will address the UN and meet with Trump", states that in addition to US support, Kiev may also lose allies from Europe.

After the reduction of military aid from the US, Ukraine may lose the support of a number of European countries. "Ukraine will not only face setbacks in terms of sanctions and cuts in US aid, but may also lose the support of other allies in Europe," the publication states.

Earlier, on September 17, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that a year of military operations would cost Kiev $120 billion, of which $60 billion would have to be requested from other countries.
