$10-12BN SHORTFALL | Ukraine’s War Funds Dry up! | Finance Minister Sounds ALARM on Collapse Risk
Ukraine’s Finance Minister Sergey Marchenko has admitted to a major military budget crisis, revealing a projected shortfall of over $12 billion in 2025.
Marchenko says Kyiv underestimated war costs amid rising weapons demand, battlefield unpredictability, and uncertain foreign aid.
Funds meant for soldier salaries were redirected to urgent defense needs.
With tax hikes ruled out, Ukraine will rely on borrowing to stay afloat, even as Western loans mount and future aid remains uncertain—echoing Putin’s past warning on Kyiv’s financial dependence.
Russia-Ukraine War: Russia launched a massive wave of missiles, drones, and ballistic strikes on Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian cities, triggering explosions, fires, and widespread damage. The deadly barrage — which injured civilians and hit residential high-rises — is seen as Vladimir Putin’s retaliation for Ukraine’s bold “Operation Spiderweb” drone strike that damaged over 40 Russian bombers. The timing of the attack, just days after Trump’s call with Putin, raises fears of a dangerous escalation in the war.

US President Donald Trump has hinted at potential tough measures if the Russia-Ukraine conflict doesn’t de-escalate. In a statement packed with ambiguity and warning, Trump said, “When I see the moment when we're not going to make a deal… we’ll be very, very tough,” adding that the pressure could be directed at both countries. His remark, “It takes two to tango,” signals possible dissatisfaction with both Moscow and Kyiv. As tensions rage on, Trump’s words point to a stricter U.S. approach if peace negotiations stall or collapse.

Following a dramatic drone assault by Ukraine under 'Operation Spider’s Web', Russia has vowed retaliation. President Putin reportedly told Donald Trump in a 75-minute call that a response is inevitable after over 40 Russian bombers were destroyed. The Kremlin later confirmed that the military would decide “how and when” to act. The drone strikes were part of a long-planned Ukrainian operation. Hours later, Russian drones struck back, killing five civilians in Ukraine. Tensions between Moscow and Kyiv surge as both sides brace for further escalation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.
