Ukraine's entire domestic revenue nearly $70 billion a year goes straight to defence. 🇺🇦🇷🇺 This means every teacher's salary, every pension cheque, every pothole that gets filled is paid for by foreign grants and loans. Ukraine faces a $27 billion funding shortfall for 2026 as annual war expenditures have reached an estimated $155 billion. Government says it can cover $7 billion through internal reallocation, but the remaining $20 billion depends on international support. A war that costs $155 billion a year and generates $70 billion domestically is a war that runs on the political will of foreign legislatures.
