This dude gets all his information from conspiracy theory channels on telegram like a true intellectual.
It was not, because the proxy war is going so great that there's no unanimous agreement on funding it anymore.
The only thing shrinking here is your peanut sized brain.
Less than 8% of the overall economy but keep on braying.
It really is laughable how Europe managed to destroy itself in a war with Russia once again.
Said the troll while having zero self awareness.
You should let Ukrainians know ASAP, seems like you have a better understanding of the war than they do https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/03/17/volodymyr-zelensky-london-starmer-remember-ukraine/
Ah yes, the guy who thinks that war of attrition is about territory is now lecturing on the distinction between WW1 and WW2.
Can't believe I'm getting shade from the dude who can't even read the contradictions he wrote himself. Your argument style seems to involve attempting to insult your way out of the corners you back yourself into.
It was agreed back in February, that Orban fella who previously agreed to the deal in December is now backing out and attempting to veto the deal. Luckily Orban is a lame duck, he will be gone on April 12th where he is predicted to lose the election by double digit points. So long to the fat Russian stooge.
Live in denial all you want but it is clear that there are two economies at the moment in Russia, the war economy and the civilian one. The civilian economy is currently being cannibalised to support the war economy. Sky high interest rates and persistent inflation have lead to businesses in Russia closing at an ever increasing rate.

As you keep on ignoring all of the manpower committed to the war effort and hundreds of billions in equity given to the MIC. Even without that, 8% of GDP is absolutely significant. Keep huffing that copium, makes everything better I suppose.
The same Europe that is yet to lose a man is somehow destroyed. Most of Europe has genuinely forgot the war is even happening. I haven't heard it mentioned in years, people in Europe really don't give a shit about the war any more and certainly haven't noticed Europe "destroying itself". Hilarious hyperbole.
The Telegraph is a right wing tabloid, they have consistently backed the Russian viewpoint in this war and have zero credibility. The article is also behind a pay wall, I am not going out of my way to read this article that I am sure you have not even read.
If all else fails pull out a straw man eh buddy, much easier to fight than a real opponent. I just pointed out that Ukraine took back 10% of Russia's 2025 gains in the last month. You then screamed that it was a war of attrition that I didn't understand and that somehow losing territory is good for Russia? We've all been watching Russian soldiers being blown to bits in large groups for the last month. The only country attriting it's troops en masse is Russia. This fundamental intellectual dishonesty is why Russia are going to lose this war. They can't even be honest with themselves.
meanwhile in the real world https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-no-deal-90-billion-ukraine-loan-viktor-orban-european-council/
And just wait till Germany, France, and UK have elections. You'll get a lot more Orbans in power in short order.
Repeating nonsense over and over isn't going to make it true.
Oh, but you were just telling me that mainstream media has no idea what they're talking about and only an idiot would take them seriously. Looks like the reality is that you just cherry pick what fits with your narrative here. But let's play this game. Russian economy is slowing down, how does that compare to Europe?
Oh dear, that doesn't look good at all.
Nobody is ignoring anything, you're being explained the basic fact that over 90% of the economy is not affected by this. Meanwhile, the war is actually helping boost domestic economy through contracts that create employment, and require new factories, reindustrialization, steel production, and so on. That's the whole Keynesian militarism that Europe keeps trying to do, but has no energy for. Keep huffing that copium, makes everything better I suppose.
It's the most rabidly anti Russian publication that has been consistently spreading Ukrainian propaganda. Absolutely hilarious how you claim they're pro Russian. Really highlights how delusional you really are.
Imagine being so internet illiterate that you don't even know how to paste a link into archive.ph, incredible stuff.
Oh, I'm sorry, but was it not you that kept braying that Ukraine took territory and that shows they're winning?
Now, that's the actual straw man here because what I actually said is that minor changes in territory are irrelevant in this conflict because it's a conflict where the AFU is being attrited. There is no strategic significance to the gains Ukraine made, they're not going to change the direction of the war. But they do cost Ukraine precious troops which it should be saving given that it has a far lower population to work with. But I think we've already established that math isn't exactly your forte.
Weird how the actual casualties favor Russia https://ukrainewarlosses.org/
The site that you dismissed because it doesn't fit with your fantasies actually provides their methodology. And you can watch a detailed explanation of how the data was sourced here https://youtu.be/LoiP5Rfpmpw
Oh look more projection.
