President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that he is “morally” ready for the fact that Ukraine’s economy will have to be transferred to “military rails” if the war of attrition drags on and the support of the allies becomes weaker.
The head of state told about this in an interview with The Economist. He noted that a protracted war will become a crossroads for Ukraine. The country will lose more people. Moreover, both at the front and as a result of emigration.
“A war of attrition will require a ‘fully militarized economy.'” The government will have to convey this perspective to its citizens, Zelenskyy says, without specifying how. (…) Almost 19 months after the start of the war, the president said that he “morally ” is ready for the transition (of the economy to “military rails” – UNIAN). But he will discuss this idea with his people only if weakness in the eyes of his Western allies becomes a “trend”, the article says.
