Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blasted his European allies Thursday for what he portrayed as the continent’s slow, fragmented and inadequate response to Russia’s invasion nearly four years ago and its continued international aggression.
Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Zelenskyy listed a litany of grievances and criticisms of Europe that he said have left Ukraine at the mercy of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid an ongoing U.S. push for a peace settlement.
According to Wikipedia’s article on lend-lease, the USSR got $11.3bn, which today would roughly be $250bn. It’s higher than what Greg said, but still lower than what Ukraine has gotten (assuming the $300bn is correct, didn’t fact check that)
I wasn’t refusing to correct the mistake, thanks. I just hadn’t checked my replies until now. I have made the edits now to clarify.
I meant Skiluros, not you, hence me referencing the $2800bn figure they made up
Ah - respect, cheers friend.
All good, buddy! Clarified who I meant :)
I have no clue around the exact sum provided to the USSR (although I have read about the nature of the support and what it focused on). I am just pointing you can’t compare dollars in a nominal manner.
You can compare dollars in a nominal manner if you apply inflation indices, that’s what inflation is calculated for.
How do you think I got the $2800 B figure?
So, you CAN compare dollars. You can just delete or edit your previous comment to eliminate the misinformation of $2800bn because you applied inflation twice on the original figure by (for some reason instead of checking it up) assuming Greg hadn’t applied it
Ah, you’re a tankie who supports russian genocidal imperialism.
No, wonder you’re being so holier than thou.
Bye!
This is such a weird response. You are really making yourself look bad here. Why can’t you just accept that you inflation adjusted a number that had already been inflation adjusted? It’s an easy mistake to make and not a big deal but instead you are coming back with this bizarre non sequitur ad hominem.
Huh? Where have I expressed support for Russian invasion of Ukraine? I’m simply correcting your made-up numbers. Anyone who corrects you is a Russian imperialist?
Also, why genocidal? Using that word lightly isn’t a good thing. It’s harmful to actual genocide victims like Gazans to call everything a genocide.
