In the Russian regions, payments for concluding contracts with the Ministry of Defense have increased in order to appear more willing to fight in Ukraine. According to the Russian edition "Important History", contractors receive on average 1. 3 million rubles - about 508 thousand hryvnias. Instead, Ukraine does not have resources such as the Russian Federation, and therefore it is difficult to provide the army.

Moreover, WSJ, citing a Ukrainian official, stated that in 2025, Kyiv will need about $ 126 billion in military assistance to "cover military expenses associated with the rapid financing of Russia.

So the country has done everything possible" , - summed up Oleg Hetman.

Hetman reported that Russia's economy is about ten times larger than Ukrainian. "A large, strong enemy attacked smaller in size, population, economy, capacity of the country. Therefore, of course, our opportunities are not the same.

They differ about ten times - by military potential, economic opportunities, etc. ," he said, he said, he said, he said, he said. In the world economy, the countries that are oil and gas exporters are evaluated by separate sections. So they cannot be compared to countries that are not exporters and exporters of these resources.
