russia attacked ukraine on february 24, at least one person from warsaw decided to urgently leave for gdańsk the north of poland because she was sure that the russians were going to warsaw, and this is the feeling of fear that exists in europe now it is already so terrible, but they understand that if suddenly something changes and russia can still win, then it will not stop and will reach them, and when they talk about the costs of this war, then the costs of the war that will already be on the territory of other eu countries will be much larger, so i think that our partners understand that they will support ukraine in every possible way, they emphasize so that this war does not spread to them, continuing vadym's question, even if, uh, even if we do not even take into account the fact that the russian federation can physically with weapons to attack neighboring countries, if you still spend, then whose economy asked for more, if we can compare in percentages, this applies to european countries and how much the united states suffers economically from the war or not suffer, you know, for the
