Is Ukraine about to have a war?

Regardless of the outcomes of the war (FWIW I agree with him, but for different reasons) his statement that Europe is the biggest loser is undisputable:

On a purely practical level, the economic cost is ruinous: increased energy costs, cost of accelerated pivot to alternative energy, opportunity cost of the pivot (eg - automotive industry), increase of defense expenditure, cost burden of refugees, integration of Ukraine in EU and funding its re-building, etc...

We're talking a decade(s) of increased expenditure. With the average European squeezed as it is, I wonder where all that extra money - that wasn't needed 12months ago - is going to come from?
