Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
James Rupert: On Ukraine, the economists declare an emergency
On Ukraine, the economists are declaring an emergency. Ukraine is bleeding cash in its war against Russian and Russian-proxy forces in the Donbas region. With its industrial heartland shattered by the war, the country's economy is shriveling. And the warnings from economists are growing that Ukraine will need a big increase - and quickly - in international financial support, if it is to avoid an economic collapse.
