    Ukraine would be a respectable country if they didn’t sell their assets at a huge discount to fund the war.

    https://privatization.gov.ua/en/ (funded by USAID)

    When private individuals send money to Ukraine, they need at least a 100% ROI (almost all of the privatization auctions were sold at 50% of value and will be worth more if Ukraine wins the war).

    But if the government sends our money to Ukraine, they just give it away.

    Why bother paying taxes if it just goes to rich people?
