As for my part, I am not aware of any foreign investor, be it public or private - ever having invested into a war-prone zone, additionally facing a political unsafe outlook..... I think you'll see a lot of public and private money coming in for the rebuild....
Here in Canada we have tens of thousands of citizens of Ukrainian descent, including my wife. There's a lot of sympathy and support for Ukraine here. These are people who look like us, live lives we can relate to.There are some unusual things going on in the background here in the US.
Something I noticed early-on in the conflict is a similarity between the US midwest the Ukraine farmlands, farming towns, and the farmers themselves including their attitudes. The images of the farming communities could almost be from the 1950-1980 period here in Minnesota - except the Ukraine farmers have larger and better tractors than we had then.

According to their propaganda, they did it twice.According to Ukrainian sources a MiG-29 shot down a Russian Su-35 in the Kherson region. It's surprising that Russia has not managed to suppress the UAF after 3 months of war.

I'll take "whataboutism" for a True Daily Double, Alex.
Also, you should be aware that when you cite Tucker Carlson, you are impeaching your credibility immediately. No one with half-a-brain listens to that idiot, and you shouldn't either.

I admit that I wasn't expecting anyone to find this posting funnyI am afraid that the West are not giving Ukraine what they really need right now and that is effective armour in numbers, aircraft and effective ECM. This is a huge country and Russia has numbers on its side. Russia tried to fight 'the European way' and got hammered. Now its reverting back to the 'Traditional Russian way' using its numbers taking a piece at a time while tying down Ukraine Army by threats from the North and attacking using effective artillery fire.
Only airpower has the ability to strike quickly, with considerable strength hundreds of miles from its base. Only airpower can cover more than one front at a time, in this case strike in the east while cover the North from an attack from Belarus.
There is no doubt that the Russian Airforce doesn't have control of the air, but they don't need it. As long as they can stop the Ukraine Airforce from attacking their army and its artillery, they can pound their way to victory. That is the primary task of the Russian Airforce, and that is a task they seem to be able to do.
With suitable aircraft and ECM to give cover from the SAM shield that Russia is using, then the UAF will become the key to change the conflict, but without it, Russia will be able to wear Ukraine down and grind out a victory of sorts.
I do hope that I am wrong but this is my honest view of the current situation
You have absolutely no credibility if you are quoting Comrade Tucker Carlson.2] Tucker Carlson: Elizabeth Warren's latest plan to make herself more powerful

He might be nice in person but he has a history of making questionable decisions/comments such as this from 2014:The first video is former Virginia State Senator, Richard H. Black. I've actually met the guy and he's a charming gentleman whose military service I strongly respect. HOWEVER...in this case, he's presenting an incredibly partial picture of reality.
