AEI Report: Russian Victory in Ukraine Could Cost U.S. $808 Billion More Than Current Aid Through 2029
Jan 9, 2025, 01:06 PM
A new report from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) highlights the financial implications of a potential Russian victory in Ukraine. According to the assessment, if Russia were to win the war, the United States would incur an estimated additional cost of $808 billion by 2029 to deter future Russian aggression in Europe. This figure exceeds the current military aid provided to Ukraine, suggesting that supporting Ukraine is more cost-effective for the U.S. than facing the consequences of its defeat. The report emphasizes that the costs associated with a Russian victory would necessitate a significant increase in Pentagon spending to safeguard U.S. interests in Europe.
