Russia-Ukraine War Comparison: Russia vs Ukraine vs Belarus (1991-2021)

With the war in Ukraine heating up, this video will compare the main countries in the war by a few metrics: GDP, GDP per capita, military spending, and exports. Hope everyone can get an idea of the different metrics of the countries during this war. On the side of the screen, a portrait of each country's leader is displayed, giving you an idea of who was president during what time.

You need population graph there as well. For Ukraine it looks like going from 52 million to 29 million down because Ukraine has no oil.

Thanks for the comparison. Two notes 1. In 1991-1995 in Belarus there was White-Red-White flag, not a Red-Green. 2. In 1991-1994 Belarus was not a president republic unlike Russia and Ukraine. There was a prime-minister leading the country. In 1991-1994 Kebich was a PM.

[@TimeMakerDotPH]

2. They still have a PM until now, it's just that it isn't comparable to the PMs of UK or even France when it comes to power-sharing (their PM is like a US VP). Also, understanding post-USSR politics is a tricky thing. While yes Belarus was classified as a parliamentary republic from 1991-1994, their PM wasn't more powerful than the head of state. Belarus got such classification because their de facto leader was an INDIRECTLY elected (by legislature) head of state. In fact, during the time the USSR itself was collapsing during the 90s, many SSRs also got the classification of parliamentary republic but with head of state as their de facto leader, examples are: 1. Ter-Petrosyan (Armenia), 1990-1991 2. Shushkevich (Belarus), 1991 3. Gamsakhurdia (Georgia), 1990-1991 4. Yeltsin (Russia), 1990-1991 5. Kravchuk (Ukraine), 1990-1991

They aren't (sometimes). The average salary in Belarus is $5244 USD, compared to $5976 USD in Ukraine. GDP per capita is a useless measure and doesn't take political corruption and stuff into consideration.

@Mr.Nobody The statistics I said are the total for just salaries and wages etc. The statistic doesn't include taxes, bills, rent, spending on any goods, etc. So after you have spent lots of money on things, you are left over with a lot left, maybe $500-$1000 USD in your case.

Note the level of democracy in Ukraine and Russia with Belarus

[@stanislavcherepanov3465]

@@fl1mes everything has a price, after years when you enjoy stability and your good life without involving in politics, you suddenly find that your country goes to full-scale economic catastrophe, and diplomatic isolation, you are mobilized to die in nonsense war and you can do nothing about it because during the time of stability when you enjoyed your standards dictator step by step made his regimen stronger p.s. Also, most of the reforms, which made Russia's economic miracle possible in the first two Putin terms, were finished in the 90th. So, its not a lot of his personal involvement in economy success at that time

[@fl1mes]

@@stanislavcherepanov3465 Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe, both under dictatorship and democracy, and this is despite the fact that in the 90s we had the same standard of living. And if you say that the liberal reforms of the 90s had a positive impact on the Russian economy, then you are deeply mistaken, because growth began only when Putin canceled them :) Some of them were undoubtedly useful, but most of these reforms were harmful and destructive.
