There was an EU summit at the end of the week, Zelensky was there. Three points he presented:
- more patriots
- confiscate Russian frozen assets
- more money. Lots:
>the war will cost 155 billion euros ($174.5 billion) next year. And we need at least 70 billion euros ($78.8 billion) more from you
Not clear, on top of that 155 billion? So it's liek 225 now? That's a lot of golden toilet.

One thing we have to note about the money issue.
The money largely don't go to Ukraine. They go into a fund. Then EU member states send equipment to Ukraine, and they are recompensated from this fund. This is how the EU helps out member states in this recession, economical decline, energy crisis. I assume they overcharge the fund without any hesitation too.
So Zelensky isn't requesting money, but they are used as a mouthpiece to justify the spending to these countries.
