You need to work on your thinking my boy, it's all a bit wonky.I think a LOT of this will come from confiscated Russian assets.
To be fair, the Russian losses are far, far worse. The Chinese simply won't pay the prices that Putin charged the Europeans for gas and oil. That's just cuts off Russia at the knees, forever.
Of course there is a cost for Ukraine but continuing to fight will always be cheaper in the long term than surrendering. They learned there is a terrible cost to appeasement. Its a lesson that seems to be relearned every generation.
