Zelensky knows the losses at Bakhmut inflicted on the Russians are very high. If the Russians don't take Bakhmut with these high losses in a meatgrinder Putin's days are probably numbered. That is why the US/NATO, etc. have to keep supporting the Ukraine. If a peace is brokered with the Russians holding the small parts of Ukraine that they do. E.g. the Donbas and Crimea. Those Russian occupied areas will only be used to stage a future invasion once the Russians refit, resupply, etc. |

"European leaders are close to discussing whether the European Union can send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was quoted as saying on Friday" Orbán is pro-Putin, he doesn't speak for the EU. Hungary‘s Orban didn‘t applaud to Zelensky, @runews, Feb 9, 2023. … "Hungary has refused to supply Kyiv with weapons, despite appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Western leaders for military supplies." Hungarian industry has however been allowed to sell arms to 3rd parties that may or may not pass them on to Ukraine, because Hungary needs the money. Druzhina Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers

Orbán is pro-Putin, he doesn't speak for the EU. He has made that very clear recently that he is BFFs with Vlad. Even if Hungary has been a member of NATO since 1999, IIRC. And most in NATO are sending weapons to the Ukraine[who is not a NATO or EU member].  |

@Tango1, that spending number is obsolete, the US alone has now spent between $170 USD Billion and $200 USD Billion on Ukraine in single year, not a mere $46.6 USD Billion. That means the Ukraine War is now the most expensive war in the last 100 years except for WW2 ($340 billion). And WW2 was over a 4-year period, so far we've spend 60% as much in single year on Ukraine -- so, in WW2 terms we've spent $$$ = to the WW2 War period of January 1942 through August 1944. |
