Kiev is heading into a debt pit, Russia’s parliament speaker warns


[b]Lend-lease isn’t free, and generations of Ukrainians are going to pay for the weapons that’ll be supplied by Washington to Kiev under the program, Vyacheslav Volodin, Russian State Duma speaker, has said.

On Thursday, the US House of Representatives approved the “Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act,” which makes it easier for Washington to send weapons to Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia. However, those deliveries are conditioned on Kiev having to pay for the “return of and reimbursement and repayment for defense articles loaned or leased.” The lend-lease bill, which now only needs Joe Biden’s signature, is separate from the White House’s ongoing efforts to arm the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky with weapons from the Pentagon’s stockpiles.


Washington’s motives are crystal clear,” Volodin wrote on Telegram, suggesting that lend-leasing to Ukraine “would allow to increase the profits of American defense corporations by several times.”

The parliament speaker recalled the events of World War II when the Soviet Union had received military hardware from the US under a similar lend-lease scheme.

“It was described as help from the allies,” but the USSR, which lost 27 million lives fighting the Nazis, had to return those debts for decades, among other things, sending its platinum, gold and timber to America as part of mutual settlements, he said.

“The payments were only completed 61 years after the Great Victory, in 2006,” Volodin pointed out.

Lend-lease is basically a commodity loan, and “not a cheap one,” he warned. “Many future generations of Ukrainian citizens are going to pay” for the weapons, ammo and food supplies delivered by Washington


By agreeing to the land-lease scheme, “Zelensky is leading the country into a debt pit,” the parliament speaker insisted

America’s favor ain’t free, neocolonialism!!!

We bin know

By the time this conflict is over Ukraine will be fully submerged in debts

Ukraines debt will be hitting $2trillion
aids from western nations, loans from western banks like IMF to support their wartime economy, inability to export their agricultural products and the US is making I worse with the Lend-lease act.
Then talk about reconstruction; presently, it will take over $150billion to reconstruct what's left of Ukraine not to mention what the cost will be after the war

Their economy is in tatters and the post war economy will be worse. Every critical sector in Ukraine has stopped functioning and they are hoping on $7billion monthly from the West to continue operating

Ukraine GDP nominal is less than $200billion and PPP around $500billion. Ukraine economy is expected to recede by 50%.
This means they will inherit a post war debt 20 times bigger than their nominal gdp and 10 times bigger than their gdp by PPP

Abeg, Ukraine is run by clowns

By the time US (lend-lease act) is through with them and finally allows peace to return to what's left of Ukraine it will be swimmingdrowning in huge debts

modified Oh! Before I forget. A good 20-25% of this arms will be resold in the Black market by non-state actors and radicals. A new crop of Oligarchs will be made and insecurity in Europe will be multiplied. Europe state better start beefing up securities because they are in for a looooong nite

Russia is already tired of the war

The Russian are 100% right.. No country wud give dat gigantic amount of weapons for free and other supplies... lt is dere choice to take it or walk away but zelensky is desperate.. l think US shud find a better way to end dis war bt u see in dis life money gat to be make 2 make ur country better at d destruction of oders by proxy or directly .. l don't think there wud ever be PEACE in dis world

No price is too much to pay for freedom and true independence.

USA already know Ukraine will fall hence all these

To frustrate the new Russia regime

Says a country that enjoyed same privilege during WW2…

Lend-lease agreement helped Ussr to win battle of Stalingrad which was totally destroyed by nazi army.

And you think that it will help Ukraine? Do you think that 1944 is thesame as 2022?
When the equipment will be obliterated by kalibar missiles before being put to use.

Ukraine is in for a nightmares

That is the price that Russia is paying for their russian people in Ukraine. No price is too much to ensure that russian people are safe. No price is too much for the liberation of the independent republic of lughansk and donesk.

Are weapons and equipment supposed to be given as "dash" before?
It was even an error on the part of the US to arm a non democratic Soviet Union after the war because it was that supply of military arms that made the Soviets to start amassing and developing lethal arms that has made it a military super power today.
The Ukrainians should and are even grateful that the likes of the US came to its aid militarily,otherwise nothing like Ukraine would have existed by now.
