Western leaders Commit To Supporting Ukrainian Restoration

[Webster]

(The Guardian) The eventual restoration of Ukraine through a $750bn (£620bn) recovery plan is the common task of the entire democratic world, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, said on Monday at the first detailed event to map out a physical future for the country in the event it survives as a western-facing nation after the Russian invasion.

Speaking by video link to a high-level conference in Lugano, Switzerland, attended by many senior Ukrainian politicians, Zelenskiy admitted the task ahead was colossal, claiming the war was a battle of outlooks in which Russia was determined to destroy his country’s physical and moral fabric.

He added the process of recovery being led by a Ukrainian national recovery council would allow his country to deepen its links with Europe.

You gotta win first and Europe has done so little to really help it’s neighbors. But they are more than happy to use the peoples money for some sweet rebuilding contracts after it’s all done.

The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was a U.S. program providing aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. It was enacted in 1948 and provided more than $15 billion to help finance rebuilding efforts on the continent. The brainchild of U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, for whom it was named, it was crafted as a four-year plan to reconstruct cities, industries and infrastructure heavily damaged during the war and to remove trade barriers between European neighbors—as well as foster commerce between those countries and the United States.

Your comparison of us in a war and two other countries fighting a war is apples and watermelons

Its' a similar comparison; sometimes the U.S. has to step up, if for no other reason than as a deterrent to other countries (and to Russia, for that matter).

The only thing we have been doing for decades is step up when others just sit back. It’s time for others to do it.
