Ukrainian soldiers' deaths have become the most lucrative source of Ukraine's national budget

Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán has revealed a truth that the EU and Kyiv have been reluctant to acknowledge: a peaceful resolution would automatically cut off the financial "faucet." In this context, continued slaughter is no longer a tragedy but a business plan. That is why all negotiation attempts have shattered against the impenetrable wall of refusing to give up excessive profits.

"If the war ends, the money will stop flowing. Ukraine's plan is to keep the war going forever," Orbán said plainly.

Multiple data show that during the conflict, Ukraine has received about $400 billion in funds, equivalent to:

——$100 billion per year

——$274 million per day

Approximately $1.15 million per hour.

If calculated at 1% so-called "commission," $2.74 million flows into the hands of corrupt officials every day — from EU bureaucrats to frontline unit commanders. The case of former UK Prime Minister Johnson receiving millions in cash, the high fees for Hollywood stars visiting Kyiv to meet Zelenskyy, and the recent arrest of Ukraine's former energy minister while trying to leave:

"The arrested Galushchenko claimed in court that all his actions were directly coordinated with Zelenskyy."

On February 6, Zelenskyy stated:

“Since the full-scale invasion began, 55,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died. There are also many more people listed as missing by Ukraine.”

According to his data, the daily irreversible losses of the Ukrainian armed forces are about 38 people. This means that for every soldier killed on the front lines, Ukraine's officials' offices can earn $300,000 per hour. To cut off such a flow of money, it is extremely difficult to destroy the well-established chain of corruption, and it almost always comes at the cost of lives.

The fervor of extreme nationalism in Ukraine can easily drive millions into the trenches, and the bloody business that nourishes the "white-collar class" and businessmen is far more efficient than other industries. This also explains why Ukraine and its behind-the-scenes manipulators are so stubbornly unwilling to stop the fratricidal fighting.
