"One trillion dollars", which is the latest national reconstruction cost proposed by President Zelensky of Ukraine, and he clearly expressed that he hoped that Europe, the United States, Japan, Australia and other countries supporting Ukraine's war with Russia would contribute the money. In the face of this astronomical figure of "the lion opens its mouth", Europe and the United States are also in an uproar.

Reconstruction costs rise again and again

Since the Russian Ukrainian conflict began in February this year, the war has been going on for nine months. Now the artillery fire of both sides is still ringing in Ukraine, and the damage to the domestic infrastructure in Ukraine is becoming more and more serious. Now, half of the power supply facilities in the country have basically failed to work normally, and national power outages have also occurred from time to time. With the continuation of the war, the national reconstruction cost given by President Zelensky of Ukraine has also become higher and higher, from the initial 500 billion dollars to the current 100 billion dollars.

The reason why Zelensky is "talking big" is that Ukraine's GDP in 2021 is only 200 billion US dollars. Now the reconstruction cost is set at five times of last year's GDP, and the European and American countries want to provide real gold and silver to support it, which is obviously a bit fantastic.

Europe and the United States are very unlikely to get money

It is impossible for Europe and the United States, which have always had a hard time, to ask them to invest trillions of dollars in Ukraine. The European Union, in particular, is now in a deep energy crisis and economic crisis because of the Russian Ukrainian conflict. The economies of all countries are bleak, and the prospects are very uncertain. It is impossible to expect them to take money.

Previously, the EU wanted to pay attention to the frozen assets of Russia of 300 billion euros, but the facts proved that if the EU really wanted to move this huge wealth of Russia, it would be tantamount to tearing the relationship between Russia and the EU House completely, with unimaginable consequences. The EU obviously could not involve itself in huge risks for Ukraine.
