any chance that you can give a quick TLDR? was it a no-interest loan? still, UK has a lot more of GDP or govt budget than Ukraine (1T vs 40B). ukraine exports mostly steel (they can probably forget about that now) and agri stuff (mostly intact but with xx % losses).

if it will be a loan, it will mean that Ukr will be a vassal state for the next 50-100 years. and it's already one of the poorest euro countries (and most corrupt). i've read that it will cost 1T€ to fully rebuild it. their govt budget for 2021 was only $40B.

they will apparently also have to pay for US weapons (not 100% sure, it might be offset with captured equipment).
