The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy

[MRY]

In my country, inflation is at a high level, especially affecting the prices of real estate, food, and fuel. It is very difficult for young people who want to afford property, they have to take out large loans and pay them off over 20 years. You have to work two jobs to afford a decent life. My opinion is that only a peace agreement between these two countries can recover the economy and reduce inflation, especially in Europe.

The economic situation as always faces some factors that often have influence over the community but over which the community has no control. When basic needs are foods, so many people are forced to_shift for livelihood if they need to obtain the foods. People are not equal and the youth of today need it to be better than it has ever been to improve their lives. This is even harder given that the cost of raising a home or even the bare basic necessities in life remain on the rise. However, there is hope that this condition can change in the case of decisions that are taken at the higher level.

That's right, you're right,each of us manages in our own way. The youth need much more; basic life necessities and raising a home, as you said, are very difficult in today's time. Wars only worsen the economy and, in some underdeveloped countries, create a severe economic situation. That’s why peace agreements can be of great importance.

In the news:
- US stops ALL weapon deliveries to Ukraine
- US will no longer provide satellite intelligence data to AFU
- AFU forces still remaining in Kursk region are almost completely cut off from support lines/Ukraine

Interesting read for all Ukrainian trolls out there:

Source: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/bulk-ukrainian-forces-fighting-inside-russia-almost-cut-off-open-source-maps-2025-03-07/

The US stopped all aid to Ukraine because President Trump wants peace and the US seems to realize that they have given a lot of aid and have not gotten any results so a peace effort would make more sense.
The incident in the White House, like in a family, we have fed him and protected him from bad people, then he comes to our house and insults us in our own house in front of our neighbors. So it makes sense that the US stopped all aid to Ukraine.

The best solution for Ukraine is to make peace and live in harmony with Russia. This war happened because Ukraine joined NATO which is the core of the problem, so you could say Ukraine started this so the war happened which of course had an impact on the economy and many lives were lost. Also, Ukraine can see Chechnya, Chechnya was destroyed by Russia, but by choosing to return to Russia, now Chechnya is prosperous. Everything that Russia destroyed has been rebuilt and lives in peace.

Whoa!
I must have missed something - Ukraine joined NATO?! Can you give me the details of this event? I live in Ukraine and never heard about it !
Maybe there are some documents, legislative acts ? Please inform me, because I seem to be very far behind the reality !

Regarding living in “harmony with Russia”. I will now ask a question, very rude, and you honestly, within the framework of the idea you voiced about what Ukraine should do, tell me what those whom I am now asking will have to do. So - your closest relative is being robbed, raped and killed by criminals. There are police, who instead of fulfilling their duties (read what is the Budapest Memorandum), drives away all those who want to save your relative, and takes away from her the stick she is trying to fight off the armed criminals. What do you do? Do you suggest your relative “live in peace with these nice guys”? Only honestly ?

PS By the way, a question to fans of propaganda “duck” that the terrorist country attacked Ukraine because Ukraine was going to join NATO: bring here the first document, of course with the date of its official publication or adoption, where Ukraine clearly states its desire to join NATO ! It is very interesting to hear opinions and trusted information with dates !

That is unlikely to be true.

From day one this has been a NATO versus Russia war but a proxy war using Ukraine; and it's objective was to keep Russia in a very LONG war that exhausts all their resources and weakens Russia as much as possible. Many US regime officials have said that they will "fight Russia to the last Ukrainian".
I don't see any reason or indication that this objective has changed. Not even slightly.

That means they will continue sending weapons to Ukraine, but only enough to keep them in this war not help them win or change the balance. Ask the Poles, they'd tell you that the US weapons delivery has slowed down (since US ran out of weapons and aren't producing them fast enough) but it is still flowing...

The shenanigans of Trump these days is not to halt weapon delivery or intelligence supply to their proxy Ukraine. But it is to first force Europeans to spend more so that he can decrease his expenses and second to put pressure on Ukraine to literally sell their country to the US regime (including the minerals deal that Zelensky was ordered to sign and he recently obeyed that order) so that he can increase his revenue therefore hope to decrease the massive budget deficit he is facing.

After the United States announced it would stop providing weapons and intelligence sharing to Ukraine, Europe has pledged to provide weapons to Ukraine without the United States. Most notably, Britain announced nearly $3 billion in aid to Ukraine. Additionally, a mineral deal is almost certain to be signed following a meeting between the US and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia. It was clear that Trump had succeeded in bullying his close allies, and the United States immediately confirmed the resumption of aid to Ukraine afterwards.

But I think this war is coming to an end because the US has achieved what it wanted, the Russian economy will take years to recover and most of Ukraine's resources belong to the US.
Ultimately, Europe and Ukraine continue to be puppets and increasingly dependent on the United States after this war. It can be said this American arrow has aimed at 3 targets, not 2.

"From day one this has been a NATO versus Russia war but a proxy war using Ukraine;"

 

Asking one question to make it clear to everyone that your goal is to primitively throw in propaganda narratives with no real events underneath.

Question: bring a document that confirms that in February 2014, Ukraine joined NATO, or there were NATO troops in Ukraine, or there were plans to deploy NATO troops in Ukraine ? A document is an official document posted on official state channels, not something you read on the fence or something you dreamt !
I am very much waiting for your answer ! Or will it be the same as always ?

And the second question, just to make fun of yourself - if this is a NATO war against Russia - how do you explain the official statements of the international criminal, Putin, that he developed this plan of invasion of Ukraine in advance, and among the reasons - there was not a single word about NATO ?

PS I will assume in advance - you habitually will not answer honestly to this question, or the answer will be another portion of primitive lies, which you also will not be able to prove, however as always

800 Billion is something.But money alone is clearly not enough.

Luckily for the EU Armee they can exploit all the intelligence gathered form the Russian -Ukrainian war.
Drones have become much more important. Robot dogs a re the next thing they'll test.
Welcome to the future of warfare. You don't need to be fit any more, just fit and agile with a joystick,

With pausing a day or 2 the US has lost 60 years of trust.
The EU will rearm nuclear. Something the old guard managed to maintain for 50 years, one week and all that trust is gone.
I bet the video of the Zelinsky  - Trump - Vance Meeting, the upper EU echelons have that video playing day and night.

Enough for what? For the proxy war with Russia? Maybe. But that was not the plan. The US regime's plan was to force Europeans to increase their war budgets which is the money they will spend on purchasing weapons from the US arms dealers! So the plan worked very well

If Trump's plan was to have European countries step up their purchases of weapons and military equipment from the US, then it can be said that this plan failed miserably. After Trump and his team began to threaten their allies with economic sanctions and even war, Europe realized that the US is an unreliable partner and therefore it is dangerous to use American military equipment. After all, military equipment now contains electronics with numerous software controls. For example, in order to put pressure on Ukraine, the US turned off some functions on air defense systems and aircraft, as a result of which they at least lost their effectiveness. Therefore, Europe began to think that if the US wanted, it could make it so that, for example, the American F-35s supplied to them might not even take off. Then why would they take such a risk?

There is a way out and it is that Europe will build its own factories to produce its own military equipment, and will now gradually get rid of the American one.

Inflation in my country is very high, yet the current environment in the country is much better than in previous years. Especially in my country, the prices of daily necessities skyrocket during Ramadan, but this year, compared to all previous years, prices are much more within the purchasing power of the buyer. I would basically say that if the rule of law is established in a country and a corruption-free government is formed in the country, the economic situation of the country becomes much more stable.

I guess you missed the recent report by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
https://www.sipri.org/media/press-release/2025/ukraine-worlds-biggest-arms-importer-united-states-dominance-global-arms-exports-grows-russian

The amount of arms Europeans buy from US went up by 155% in the past couple of years and it is only increasing as the Europeans don't have the infrastructure or the technology nor does US regime allows them to cut that dependence and acquire that technology.

After Trump and his team began to threaten their allies with economic sanctions and even war, Europe realized that the US is an unreliable partner and therefore it is dangerous to use American military equipment.

Ahhh what I've been saying for years and "certain users" attacked me for it is not becoming a well known fact!

Let me repeat my favorite quote:
"It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal"... it is even deadlier to be America's proxy, another little fact that will become similarly "well known" in the near future

World economy

I look to it that the war affecting the economy of every country and with research about it , Al-Jazeera gave detail of how some countries is affected and if the war did not stop , more of the country will keep suffering. Russia is part of the biggest supplier in oil and the short suorpply is affecting the world. The war is affecting the europe countries hard because two countries in the war are two big supplies to europe. Russia cut supply of oil to euro and that affecting production, gas use. The Ukraine economy supply large amount of iron, steel, ore,stag and ash to the world and euro now in shortage include animal vegetable fats and oil to euro and the other countries.

This is hard time for economy to survive what is your thinking about the collapsing of world economy with highing inflation.

In my country, inflation is at a high level, especially affecting the prices of real estate, food, and fuel. It is very difficult for young people who want to afford property, they have to take out large loans and pay them off over 20 years. You have to work two jobs to afford a decent life. My opinion is that only a peace agreement between these two countries can recover the economy and reduce inflation, especially in Europe.

I really wonder if you are from my country because in my country, inflation is low on paper but the price of everything is going up, which is strange. Lots of American dollars get deposited in my country from foreign countries, mostly from migrants who work abroad and now mostly from lots of Russians and Ukrainians but prices still go up. Even more strange is that the rent price is out of the abnormal range too. It's impossible to pay rent with your work alone, you either eat food or pay the rent, that's the option. Local people can't afford that but it's also very strange that these Russians and Ukrainians pay these high rent prices when they can rent better apartments in ten times better countries and cities. Even if you work 2 jobs, you'll pay the rent and buy food but your life will be miserable, very terrible.

Yes, I agree it's NATO vs Russia, but US under Biden is not the same as US under Trump. Biden was a sockpuppet of the Deep State. Deep State hates Russia and will do everything to hurt it as much as possible. Trump is backed by oligarchs who are not into weapon trade (Trump, Bezos etc.)

The shenanigans of Trump these days is not to halt weapon delivery or intelligence supply to their proxy Ukraine. But it is to first force Europeans to spend more so that he can decrease his expenses and second to put pressure on Ukraine to literally sell their country to the US regime (including the minerals deal that Zelensky was ordered to sign and he recently obeyed that order) so that he can increase his revenue therefore hope to decrease the massive budget deficit he is facing.

Agreed, Trump is a businessman not a warlord. His main objective is to make the US as debt-free as possible. Therefore, he cancelled USAid, investigating Medicare scam etc... If the EU wants war, let them fund it themselves (if they can afford it haha).

Is there anyone who really thinks that this war is Ukraine VS Russia instead of US/NATO vs Russia? By the way, what they say is very different from what they actually do but too many things don't make sense here without further explanation. Why did US allow Russia to do what it does? First, there was war against Georgia, then Against Crimea (Ukraine) and then again, against the whole Ukraine. They let Russia to collect resources for the war, which is now draining of course but I wonder whether China helps Russia or not. Russians are also different breed. While Europeans don't want to come out of comfort zone and love their stable salary and good healthcare, Russians don't care much about that, they are willing to eat the cheapest thing in order to achieve what they want (this is the conclusion that I made, might be wrong but doesn't apply every Russian).

By the way, I also think that Trump wants to spend less and force Europe to spend more but I think that this is an indicator of the US no longer being capable to be a leader worldwide. If Europe spends more in military and gets stronger, it won't be the best thing that USA wants.

Yes, this thread is full of Ukrainian trolls who seriously think like that.

The truth is they can't spend more as they're broke. Biggest EU economies depended on cheap Russian fuel. Now they can barely stay afloat let alone spend more on the military. Oh no, there is one way - start printing Euros like there's no tomorrow (like the US did during Biden). 

[pooya87]

That bold part is the only thing that matters. This proxy war is not supposed to end any time soon.

As for Trump, some domestic policies and the approaches may be different but the major attitude toward the rest of the world and those policies will not. If he wasn't working with the regime or deep state or whatever it is called, they wouldn't allow him to continue breathing. The first elimination attempt during his campaign gave him the message which he understood very well.

Why did US allow Russia to do what it does? First, there was war against Georgia, then Against Crimea (Ukraine) and then again, against the whole Ukraine.

Not sure about Ukraine but regarding Georgia the US could not do anything. Neither militarily nor legally because AFAIK after USSR got dissolved the smaller states that declared independence signed some sort of agreement (I've forgotten the name) with Russia that allows Russians to do these things!

Firstly, this is not a war between Ukraine and Russia, but between Russia and Ukraine, since it was Russia that attacked Ukraine, and not vice versa.

Secondly, during the 11 years of military actions between these states, no regular military units of NATO member states have been deployed on the territory of Ukraine. If NATO troops had fought on the side of Ukraine, this war would have ended with Russia's defeat long ago. Ukraine receives various types of assistance in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity from many states, including NATO members, but this assistance, especially weapons and military equipment, is very weak and does not allow Ukraine to achieve a relatively quick victory over the aggressor that attacked it.

And now an interesting question - who is Ukraine fighting with now? Because Russia does not have enough strength to seize the relatively small Ukraine, it uses elite units of the North Korean troops on the battlefield against Ukraine, as well as armored vehicles, air defense systems and millions of shells from North Korea. Therefore, in fact, there is a war between Russia and North Korea against Ukraine.

1. This is NATO's war with Russia and Ukraine was chosen as the battlefield with the aim of containing Russia's power, exhausting them, bogging them down in war to hinder their development.

2. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, how can they deploy troops on Ukrainian territory? In addition, NATO does not dare to confront Russia directly because if it fails, they will lose prestige in the international arena. So they decided to use Ukraine as a scapegoat and whether the campaign succeeds or fails, they will lose nothing. Russia is supposed to be the top military power, it is naive to think that they can be defeated easily.
If NATO really wanted to help Ukraine, why would they only send old, outdated, limited-quantity weapons when they know how strong the Russian military is? Is it because Ukraine's mineral resources are limited rather than infinite?

3. More than 20% of Ukraine's territory is controlled by Russia and if this war continues, Ukraine may no longer be on the world map. That's why Trump wants this war to end and Ukraine will be the one to suffer the most but at least they will keep their country.

In fact, you confirm my words that there were and are no NATO troops on the territory of Ukraine. If regular NATO troops are not waging a war with Russia on the territory of Ukraine, then on what basis do you think that this is a war between NATO and Russia?
There are two possible scenarios here: the war between NATO and Russia is not taking place on the territory of Ukraine, or the war is not being waged by military actions, but is being waged economically, technologically, or some other way. Please clarify your position.

The possibility of introducing NATO troops into Ukraine as peacekeeping forces is currently being discussed in Europe. Great Britain is ready to send at least 10,000 of its troops to Ukraine, and France, Germany, and a number of other countries are also ready to introduce their troops, placing them in Kyiv, Lvov, and Odessa. In the event of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, these forces should deter Russia from a new invasion.

Exactly this! I mentioned this back in 2022 when the war started. This is exactly the reason why sanctions don't work and will never work on them.

Yes, sanctions will work on a country where people have high living standards and quality of life, it won't work in country like Russia. Putin will do everything to keep quality of life high in Moscow and Saint Peterburg but the rest of the Russia has never lived well and it doesn't matter for them.

Why did US allow Russia to do what it does? First, there was war against Georgia, then Against Crimea (Ukraine) and then again, against the whole Ukraine.

Not sure about Ukraine but regarding Georgia the US could not do anything. Neither militarily nor legally because AFAIK after USSR got dissolved the smaller states that declared independence signed some sort of agreement (I've forgotten the name) with Russia that allows Russians to do these things!

What? How can a country declare independence and allow Russia to invade it at the same time? That doesn't make any sense, there is no way there was declaration that allowed Russia to do that sort of things.

If NATO troops had fought on the side of Ukraine, this war would have ended with Russia's defeat long ago. Ukraine receives various types of assistance in defending its sovereignty and territorial integrity from many states, including NATO members, but this assistance, especially weapons and military equipment, is very weak and does not allow Ukraine to achieve a relatively quick victory over the aggressor that attacked it.

But Russia has nuclear weapons and that's why NATO can't help it. NATO is much powerful than Russia and if Russia is about to lose, then what's there to stop it from using Nuclear Weapons? Imagine you have a bomb and 5 guys are beating you to death, won't you use the bomb to kill yourself and your enemies? You are dying anyway, so why should you leave your enemies alive when you have the chance to die with including them?

Elite units of North Korea? Elite? They are as Elite as Russian troops.
