"Participation in the post-war reconstruction could be attractive for investors," he said. "But still we will have to address all those issues (transparency and corruption) that we have not had time to before the war began."

That’s been a good focus for Putin’s forces for the past 7 or 8 months. “Genius.” “Very, very savvy.”

Hmm…define “stabilized”. 25% of the country have fled and are refugees in other countries. Perhaps remittance a major source of Ukrainian income?

Now that we funded the war to the tune of 100 billion to date, do we also get to rebuild Ukraine with taxpayer money or do the oligarchs who shared in the spoils of war contribute some of that those spoils they stole to get Ukraine humming again.

If there is any stability - it’s probably from all the $US being pumped in to pay pensions and government officials’ salaries...

If Ukraine’ economy stabilized, it stabilized on the back of the American taxpayer whose economy is completely out of kilter because of the Ukrainians.

If it has, it's only because we can spending billions of dollars keeping its economy afloat.

Are you saying you're okay with that?
