Russia population: 146 million
4 SE provinces of Ukraine 'Novo Russia' populations: 9 million
Sum: 155 million
Ukraine areas controlled by the government of Ukraine: 32 million
Poland population: 38 million
Romania population: 19 million
Sum: 89 million
Ukraine & co. can't afford to fund a war on their own, so the USA/UK mainly has to pay all the war costs. The EU countries are paying the costs with higher natural gas prices mainly. Since we are back to WWI style trench warfare and artillery, it is industrial warfare.
I estimate the cost for this at $300 billion a year to support Ukraine, Poland and Romania's armies. And $120 billion a year to keep the government of Ukraine operational like it was before the war. So $420 billion a year for the war. Basically Russia will try to overwhelm Ukraine with military manpower. And the US/UK try to gradually wear down Russia by outspending them.
