I just read that over 160.000 Ukranian men have died in the war and over 400.000 have been wounded, the rest of the population is scattered around Europe, and the population still living in the country will have to deal with the destruction of builidings and civilian infrastructure. Ukraine was already in debt before the war and now It's gonna be a way worse problem.

Even if Ukraine manages to get a "victory" over Russia, how is it gonna rebuild the country without money and without people, because I honestly don't think that many Ukranian refugees will come back home after the war.

    Wasn't foreign aid like 80%+ of the ROK's economy for a decade or more?

      I think that was for the first decade after the Korean War had ended and the Americans had flattened most of the peninsula. So I guess foreign aid was the BandAid to prevent an immediate return to communism, since being flattened tends to make people angry.
