Ukraine’s PM laid out the 2026 math. The war costs $155 billion. Kiev expects to raise $70 billion at home — and every dollar goes to defense. Teachers, pensions, and potholes are already on foreign loans. Of a $27 billion hole, they can scrape $7 billion by cutting at home. The other $20 billion has to come from someone else’s treasury.

Cool system. My taxes, their front line, and somehow I’m the bad guy if the check bounces.
