    I guess you can do allot when you don’t care about your own people and you have oligarc piggy banks to crack. Also when you have mercenary armies across the globe holding on to gold mines.

    My guess is that before the war, russians were not suffering as much and oligarcs were getting richer.

      You say that but the west doesn’t seem to be doing a lot, just throwing Ukrainians into a meatgrinder to NOT take back the land Russia has occupied, which is essentially all of the territory it actually even wants
