Since everyone involved knows that Ukraine will never repay any loans, the whole thing is a figleaf, a conscious fraud.

A similar ruse was used to justify the last aid package in the United States Congress.

Next, more aid will be justified, on the grounds that this is necessary so that our "loans" get repaid. This abuse of The Sunk Cost Fallacy is entirely intentional.

The other lesson is that Poland is not tapped out.
