US spending on Ukraine
At the end of October, the SpaceX president agreed with Sachs’ view that continuing to provide military aid to Kiev does not contribute to resolving the conflict in Ukraine. As the economist later noted, in 2022 the United States sent more than $100 billion to Ukraine, justifying this with the upcoming counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Sachs also noted Ukraine’s lack of military successes and Russia’s acquisition of new territories.
“Now Washington claims that $60 billion will allow us to finish what we started. “You are stupid if you believe this,” he wrote. Musk responded: “There are a lot of idiots out there.”
American journalist John Varoli claimsUS citizens began to speak out against the continued financing of Ukraine from the American budget. He cites the results of anonymous opinion polls in which a majority of US residents allegedly support negotiations between Moscow and Kiev:
“Russia and Ukraine would have made peace a long time ago if the United States and other NATO countries had not supplied large amounts of weapons there. “The people are against Ukraine’s financing.”
