At the end of all this the big losers are going to be the people living in Ukraine. I think a lot of countries supplying the war aid are going to be tapped out for rebuilding funds, or feeling heat to take care of things at home.
Qatar is a net exporter(since 2017 and only imported around every other year prior to that even).I generally agree but I could see several Middle Eastern countries such a Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and others more than happy to help rebuild Ukrainian farming infrastructure.

Worth every penny to give Putin and the rest of the Russian Communist Heathens black eye...
As reported the Russians are pulling back from the West bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson area.
But unlike previous retreats, this one is a orderly slow retreat, in "good order. Unlike the collapse and routes in Kharkiv and elsewhere.
It will still be a great victory for Ukraine, but there won't be masses of tasty Russian equipment left behind this time.
As to what is next, I do not expect Ukraine to push further south here. The river is an obstacle, and may be more so if the dam is popped.
I expect the Ukranians will push into Zaporizhia oblast next instead. Ether to drive to the sea and cut the Russian holdings in two, or to come down the east bank of the Dnipro and flank the retreated Kherson defenders. Maybe both?
This would put all the southern Russian held areas in jeopardy because of the weakening of the Kerch bridge
When I say that. I don't really mean the failed economic system. Putin and his Oligarchs dont want that, what they want is everything ELSE from the Communist era. Tight Central state control, with an oligarch version of capitalism.communism:
noun
Ukraine is way more communist than Russia. It is not even close. One political party. State controls and OWNS all large businesses and industry(by executive decree). All men in Ukraine are conscripts currently.
- A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
- A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
Unless your definition of communism is different?
Like ours?When I say that. I don't really mean the failed economic system. Putin and his Oligarchs dont want that, what they want is everything ELSE from the Communist era. Tight Central state control, with an oligarch version of capitalism.
