  1. Will he like Petro invest his private money to boost the military? He could sell his property in Italy for a start.

  2. “We are increasing production volumes as much as possible. Ukraine can do it.”
    That’s the spirit! Can do! That’s the way towards victory, because long term wars are won on the industrial front. Ukraine does its part, the West should do more, too. The sooner the invaders get crushed, the sooner there’ll be peace.
