They don’t just have infinite money because they have a lot of weapons from the west. Wars involve a ton of other ongoing expenses, especially when you’re being invaded.
Money isn’t real. Sovereign governments can’t run out of it. Of course issuing more can cause inflation, but are you gonna tell me that inflation is worse than not having defenses?
I think inflation can cause their society to completely crater without Russia doing anything further, and Zelensky needs to avoid getting couped for completely wiping out what meager savings people have and getting on the bad side of enough of the military.
I’m not talking about “should” anything, and I think controlling inflation is a factor in conducting the war effectively, but I think Zelensky has demonstrated repeatedly and quite explicitly that any amount of Ukrainians dying is acceptable when the alternative is him losing his position and/or the favor of his western masters.

Can to just consider what you said here?
It’s better that bullets, missiles, and drones kill people and destroy infrastructure than it is for Ukraine to devalue their currency.
Is that really the position you hold?
I’m saying that there’s a balance, you can’t just arbitrarily let it rip.
Got it, so how many ukrainians should die in order to prevent a point of inflation?
