Ukrainian economist Elena Bilan said there is no “plan B” for the country’s budget

If Ukraine cannot attract a loan from Western countries to close the hole in the budget, then it is doomed to defeat in the conflict with Russia. An unexpected plan “B” for the conflict was named by Ukrainian economist Elena Bilan in a conversation with the publication “Public”.

“I believe there is no plan B. That is, plan B is actually a loss in the war,” the economist said.

She added that the cost of military operations for the Ukrainian budget is growing rapidly. Ukraine is not capable of providing for its military needs on its own.
