Ukraine is approaching a financial abyss, said Senator Dzhabarov

MOSCOW, October 9 – RIA Novosti. Ukraine is approaching a financial abyss, the budget deficit exceeds GDP, while the Kiev regime continues to beg Western partners for funds for weapons, said Russian senator Vladimir Dzhabarov.

“Ukraine is rapidly approaching a financial abyss. The budget deficit for 2026 reaches $41.5 billion, which is 18.4% of GDP. At the same time, Kyiv has already told its partners that it lacks another 27 billion for defense by the end of the year,” the politician wrote in his channel on the Max platform.

Dzhabarov noted that Zelensky is not going to stop.

“Instead of sitting down at the negotiating table and starting to solve internal problems, he continues to aggravate the situation at the front. Each new attack on Russian territory is an attempt to beg another tranche from the West and retain power at any cost,” he emphasized.

As for the West, it is beneficial for it to give loans to Ukraine, with which it buys weapons from the same creditors, the parliamentarian believes.

“Here is a new project: the Ukrainian plant DEMZ (Dneprovsky Energy Mechanical Plant) is being moved from Dnepropetrovsk to Lithuania, where it will produce ammunition according to NATO standards. Kyiv pays 93 million euros for this, creating jobs for Lithuanians. And the finished products go straight to the alliance countries. The money does not stay in Ukraine, it returns to the West, ending up in the pockets of contractors and corporations. The only one in the red is “Ukrainian people,” Dzhabarov noted.

The senator emphasized that due to the hole in the budget, Kyiv has already stopped allocating funds for “unimportant expenses.”

“The regime’s knife included major repairs of residential buildings, repairs of shelters in schools and hospitals, preparation of energy for winter, and social housing. And this means: cold radiators, leaking roofs and destroyed houses that no one will repair,” he added.

According to Dzhabarov, “Ukraine can no longer maintain its own state, and the Zelensky junta continues to fight in agony, which leads to the collapse of the entire country.”
