“We calculated the approximate amount of money that the horde spent not on building kindergartens, schools, hospitals, universities or just providing a decent old age for their retirees, but on the war in Mariupol. These are colossal figures,” Palamar said.
For example, Palamar addressed the occupiers in Russian and published figures spent on the war instead of building schools and hospitals.
“In total, it is 1,111,200,180 dollars, not including fuel, equipment, medical supplies, food, etc. Think about it, this money is equal to the opportunity to build 163 schools, or 273 kindergartens, or 12 modern hospitals, 32 maternity hospitals or 82 pharmacies. It’s just “Mariupol. I’m not talking about Ukraine in general. Don’t believe in our statistics – ask the official authorities in Russia how many died on the cruiser” Moscow “, – said Palamar.
Addition
In 2021, before the war against Ukraine, Russia spent almost $ 66 billion on the defense sector.
The invasion of Ukraine could cost Gazprom , one of the main contributors to Russia’s budget, about a third of gas exports to Europe.
