Financial Times admitted that the West has lost interest in Ukraine

The West has lost interest in Ukraine, and Kyiv may soon face great financial difficulties, writes British newspaper Financial Times.

Journalists noted that Ukraine has ceased to be special for NATO countries.

“(Ukraine. Approx. REN TV) is no longer considered a national security issue of primary importance to the European Union, NATO or the United States.”says the Financial Times.

Journalists noted that Ukraine needs to get $41 billion to cover all costs in the defense and social-financial spheres. It is possible to attract this money only from foreign sources.

Earlier, former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov said that problems with social payments would begin in Ukraine at the beginning of 2024 due to a lack of funding from the United States.

The White House said it could not promise further assistance to Ukraine due to the situation in the US Congress. John Kirby added that in a few weeks, resources to help Kyiv will be completely exhausted.

For several weeks, the US Congress has been unable to vote on the allocation of funds to provide further military assistance to Ukraine. At the same time, the White House has already warned that the US authorities are running out of money to support Kyiv.

In this regard, the US presidential administration initiated a “secret briefing” in the Congressional Senate. However, several scandals were created at the meeting, and representatives of the Republican Party left it altogether.

On December 5, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the United States will be held responsible for Ukraine’s defeat unless Congress approves additional funds to help Ukraine. On December 6, it became known that the US Senate refused to vote for the bill on aid to Ukraine.
