    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.

      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 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.
