Why military aid to Ukraine has a positive effect on Western economies:

Cargo 200 (Груз 200, Gruz dvésti) is a military code word used in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet states referring to the transportation of military fatalities. Officially, the term Cargo 200 is military jargon to refer specifically to the corpses of soldiers contained in zinc-lined coffins for air transportation. Unofficially, Cargo 200 is used to refer to all bodies of the dead being transported away from the battlefield, and has also become a euphemism for irreversible losses of manpower in a conflict.

Cargo 100: ammunition .
Cargo 300: wounded .
Cargo 400: concussion or captured .
Cargo 500: medicines .
Cargo 600: oversized cargo .
Cargo 700: cash .
Cargo 800: "special" or chemical weapons .
