Seems to me it’s a failed Russian policy.
As for the people that seem to look towards the defeat of Ukraine with glee, I think you are despicable. True moral midgets.
I despise the people who used the Ukrainians to fight a war they cannot win. They caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians for their own greed. Ukraine is a big money kickback scheme. The politicians vote to send billions to Ukraine. The money goes to the defense industry and the defense industry funds the campaigns of the corrupt politicians. The average Ukrainian gets death and suffering. It’s cruel to give them just enough to fight but not nearly enough to win. That is despicable. Just like Biden and the neocons.
