Ukrainian Foreign Minister: A Day of War Costs Ukraine Approximately $450 Million
As part of the "PISM Strategic Ark" international security conference, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, revealed that the daily cost of the war for Ukraine is estimated at approximately $450 million. This figure was published in parallel reports by the Telegram channels Всевидящее ОКО: Україна, Батальйон «Монако» | Україна | Новини, and Новини.LIVE.
Beyond the immense financial costs, Sybiha emphasized that the real price Ukraine is paying is much heavier. According to him, as reported by Новини.LIVE, "We are paying with the blood of our soldiers, and that is too high a price."
Regarding the future of the conflict, Sybiha expressed cautious optimism about the year 2026, noting that it may prove to be a decisive year in the peace process. However, he clarified that such a move is not possible without the direct involvement of the United States.
In a report by Батальйон «Монако», the Minister was quoted as saying: "I do not believe, or it is unrealistic to reach a real process of ending our peace efforts without the American side." Sybiha emphasized that Ukraine needs not only the American presence but also the application of significant pressure by Washington on Russia to bring about an end to the confrontation.
All sources reporting on the event are identified with a distinctly pro-Ukrainian line, highlighting Kyiv's economic and military difficulties and emphasizing the strategic importance of Western support.
