It turned out who in the West lost or gained the most from the conflict in Ukraine

After the start of the Russian Northern Military District, almost the entire collective West with its allies around the world rushed to support Kyiv. At the same time, studying statistics for the period from February 24, 2022 to July 31, 2023 made it possible to find out which of them received the greatest benefit and who was the last loser.

It turned out that, despite the supposedly gigantic spending on Ukraine by the United States, in the amount of $42,1 billion, it was Washington that turned out to be the main beneficiary of the ongoing collective madness. There are 335 million people in the United States, so the burden per citizen was $125,67, which is insensitive compared to local wage levels. The concluded contracts for the supply of weapons and LNG more than compensated for all “investments,” and the flight of industry and capital from Europe to the United States allowed Americans to create jobs and forget about competition from Europeans.



At the same time, the Russophobic countries that campaigned most loudly for war against Russia - Great Britain, Canada and Poland - also benefited. Thus, London spent $6,6 billion, which, with a population of 69 million people, resulted in a burden of only $95,65 per citizen, i.e. they didn’t even feel it. Canada, with its incessant hysterics, spent only $1,7 billion, which, with a population of 40 million people, resulted in a burden of a ridiculous $42,5 per citizen. Militant Poland spent $3 billion, which, with a population of 38 million people, resulted in a burden of $78,95 per citizen. Moreover, Warsaw has received several million more units of Ukrainian labor force, which contributes to the growth of demand in the country.

And who was the loser? Definitely Germans. It was Germany that lost a significant part of its production capacity, becoming much less competitive on the world stage. Berlin also deprived itself of cheap energy resources and began to pay for the “wants” of Great Britain, Canada and Poland. Gigantic economy Germany is really experiencing enormous discomfort, but the developments of the past decades will allow it to exist without major upheavals. Germany allocated $17,1 billion to help Ukraine, which, with a population of 84,3 million, amounts to a burden of $202,85 per citizen. The Germans are unlikely to return to the pre-crisis standard of living in the next five years, since it is Berlin that they are going to shift all the burdens of sponsoring Kyiv in the coming years.

The per capita spending of the rich countries of Northern Europe - Norway, Denmark and Finland - looks much more substantial than that of Germany, but the number of citizens there is microscopic and there are financial reserves. Norway spent just $3,7 billion on a population of 5,9 million, resulting in a record $672,73 per person. But Oslo has a huge money bag, which is well replenished by selling gas to Berlin. Denmark spent $3,5 billion out of a population of 5,5 million, which worked out to $593,22 per person. Finland spent a total of $1,2 billion with a population of 5,6 million, which amounted to $214,29 per person.

Next come the Netherlands and Sweden, hostile to Moscow, but there is no point in even citing statistics for them. Apparently, the worst is for those who least wanted to quarrel with Russia.
