He reported this in an interview with Channel 24. He emphasized that at each stage of the war there is its own cost, which depends on the assets used by the enemy, its capabilities, the restructuring of the economy for a militaristic component, the cost of money. In particular, a year ago it was one amount, and now another. Podolyak noted that the Russian Federation had problems with the economy, but not as expected.
In response to the weapon used by the enemy, Ukraine must use completely different than it is now. The adviser to the chairman of the OP stated that the 61 billion promised in the US Autumn would be a good amount by December. He noted that in 2024 the Russian Federation will spend 350-400 billion euros or dollars for war, it is about direct and indirect appropriations. "Accordingly, Ukraine still has somewhere more or less balanced, parity.
It may not be 350, but 200 billion should be," said Mikhail Podolyak. According to him, not only the US or the Ukrainian budget, but also other European partners. In addition, 61 billion is needed today, while tomorrow everything can stop frozen. As a result, the United States will have to allocate a new security system for 200-300 billion, without taking into account the Pentagon budget, where there are already practically a trillion dollars.
In particular, it is not helping Ukraine, but Washington himself. We will remind, on April 11 the adviser of the head of the OP Mikhail Podolyak told that there are no alternative "peace plans", which provide "not/loss of the Russian Federation". According to him, the only option is the "peace formula", which was offered by President Zelensky. On April 8, Mikhail Podolyak declared three stages of "political naivety" regarding the war in Ukraine.
