1061  Economy / Economics / Re: Can current sanctions Ruble inflation stop Russia? on: March 08, 2022, 03:21:38 PM
No it will never stop Russia for what they are doing because they also have something huge to avenge to other country or shall we say something that can affect the global economy and those sanctions will just trigger Russia to do more action and pursue what they do on Ukraine. The only way what can make Russia change their mind and have peaceful insights toward Ukraine is to negotiate toward what Putin likes and they should stop fighting and sending more troops to taunt more the Russian forces.
Sanctions do not stop Putin yet, because he lives in his own world. In recent years, he has directed more than $5 billion towards subversive activities against Ukraine, creating groups that are dissatisfied with the political rule in Ukraine. They lied to him that it was ready and acting, stealing this money. That is why Putin made the stupid decision to attack Ukraine. The people of Ukraine in response to aggression rallied like never before, and over the past 8 years of a hybrid war with Russia, its armed forces have accumulated vast experience in warfare and therefore beat the advancing columns of Russian troops with pinpoint accuracy.
But the Russian population is now heavily supportive of Putin's move to attack Ukraine. This is facilitated by the years of propaganda information disseminated in the media and the downplaying of Russia's military losses in this war.
So far, the only real way to peace is the overthrow of Putin's ruling regime, because Ukrainians have no other choice than to defend their independence and sovereignty. To do this, it is necessary to continue to impose the most stringent international sanctions that will affect all sections of Russian society without exception. It is necessary somehow to awaken this sleeping slave people.

Russia knows the consequences yet they push it through just to prove to the world that they are powerful, but it looks like they are slowly failing. The inflation will rise more, expect a more sanctions and Russian people will suffer a lot. We already heard the news about panicking in Russia, I feel sorry for them since they can’t even protest to their own government or else they’ll face charges.

IKEA announced yesterday to shut down all stores and stop all production of furniture in Russia and Belarus. As a result, there was a panic buying in IKEA stores. Similarly, other Western companies will withdraw their business from Russia. It will be a dark time for the Russians. I have read in various threads that many Russians are now betting on China, but China may be able to cushion things a bit, but certainly not prevent the collapse of the Russian economy.
I don't know what Putin was thinking when he started this big war. It was foolish to hope that the Ukrainians would simply surrender without a fight, but that seems to be exactly what Putin was hoping for. The current 150,000-strong Russian army that invaded Ukraine had a dry ration for three days. Before that, this army was dangling near the border of Ukraine in the mud for several months and now it is a hungry, tattered mass, armed with the latest weapons. True, more and more often they leave their equipment without fuel and run away, or surrender. There are already more than 2,000 captured Russians in Ukraine, and their number continues to grow.
Russia's open and absolutely brazen attack on Ukraine caused an unprecedented condemnation of the countries of Europe and the whole world, as well as the most severe sanctions. Large current inflation is flowers compared to what awaits Russia in the future.
1063  Economy / Economics / Re: The ruble is going to hell on: March 08, 2022, 10:09:28 AM
I'm not in support of this war as I care only for peace, this war will only make crypto get to a better place faster because now Ukraine and Russia people will understand the real purpose of crypto and BTC no wonder the market is recovering fast today.
Russia would be the one that's going to benefit the most in this scenario though although it's going to be a problem for them though as there's only so much bitcoin that they can get out of it. Of course no one is supporting this war, pretty sure that the only ones that support this slaughter is the higher ups in Russia.
I don’t know what benefit Russia will get from the current military attack on Ukraine, but the international sanctions that have already been introduced and are being prepared will eventually set its economy back many decades. Russia is fast becoming a pariah and will most likely be another North Korea. Just thinking about how Russia will defend itself against sanctions is one thing. But Russian soldiers are now continuing to launch missile and bomb attacks on civilian cities in Ukraine, causing great damage to its economy and killing civilians.
Already now, the International Criminal Court in The Hague has begun to consider the application of Ukraine against Russia on the genocide of the Ukrainian people. The guilt of the Putin regime in this is obvious, and as a result, Ukraine will have to compensate for the damage caused.
Foreign exchange reserves in Russia were about 640 billion dollars and about 70 percent were in the accounts of banks in other states and have already been frozen. In all likelihood, they will go to Ukraine as compensation for damage. Other property belonging to the state of the Russian Federation and its citizens will also be confiscated. Russia will eventually be a secondary and impoverished country. Aggression will have to be paid for, and this is logical and natural.
1064  Economy / Economics / Re: More destruction of Ukraine territory and economy going on on: March 08, 2022, 09:35:10 AM
The beginning of the war is what we all see,  the end is unpredictable to which side will be mostly affect at the long run,  but I wish the innocent  Russian citizens comfort at this time of swift ban experience on Russia and to all Ukrainians too,  the perfect defence we could  is to protect ourself from inherent problems  within, this war can easily come to an end only if Putin can consider the pain on the innocent souls and citizens bearing the cross of his actions, I also know that Ukraine  will survive it with the help of God,  US, NATO, UK and other international reinforcement and history  will make itself soon.
There are no innocent citizens of Russia in the military attack on Ukraine. Every citizen of Russia is now to blame for allowing more than 20 years of Putin's rule, in which he is not controlled by society and does whatever he pleases. In the 21st century, Putin has taken it into his head to seize the territory of a neighboring state just because he is dissatisfied with its domestic and foreign policies.
The Russian military is now openly shelling residential buildings in Ukraine, destroying the economy of this state. They have already destroyed 102 schools, 34 hospitals, more than 1,500 residential buildings in Ukraine. But Russian soldiers, having arranged the genocide of the Ukrainian people, are also citizens of Russia, someone's fathers, husbands, brothers. All of them are now guilty, including that 38 children in Ukraine have already died at the hands of the Russian occupiers and more than 70 have been injured.
Therefore, economic sanctions against all Russians should be the most severe, and the blocked funds of Russia should go to Ukraine to compensate for the damage from their military aggression.
1065  Economy / Economics / Re: War requires three things on: March 07, 2022, 11:00:27 AM
we don't know how putin's mind works but definitely he's very serious to finish this war with ukraine at all cost. he won't back down up until he didn't get what he wants. i don't think he started this war thinking that he will stop in the middle of it. nope... he started this aiming to win nothing else. losing is not in his vocabulary. why he stated that if somebody will interfere, they will suffer the consequences.
profitable or not, i guess by now, his main interest is to win this war over ukraine. so long he can show to the world that he has this power to invade the former soviet union republic, that's his main target. all the other things will follow once he got ukraine under his power.
Yes, Putin's appetite is great, but he won't get Ukraine. Maybe he calculated the economic side of the invasion, but he clearly did not take into account the freedom-loving spirit of the Ukrainian people. In addition, we must agree that in every war, money plays a big role. Europe has already understood that Putin will not stop in Ukraine and will move on. Therefore, they agree to give Ukraine money and weapons, if only the Ukrainians would protect Europe from the distraught Putin.
In the presence of such decent assistance and taking into account the army that has grown stronger over the past eight years, Ukraine is showing enviable professionalism and pointwise inflicting not only tangible, but even lethal losses on the enemy.
1066  Economy / Economics / Re: Can current sanctions Ruble inflation stop Russia? on: March 07, 2022, 10:44:40 AM
One of the goals of sanctions is to weaken the Russian military, so in the long run, it could force Russia to stop this war. But this process could take years, as the Afghan war.

Puttin is truly decided to invade Ukraine and the current sanctions might worsen the conflict between these two countries. However, sanctions could affect Russia but it will take time because they have independent economy which is strong enough to resist these sanctions. I'm sure that Russia has reserved so much as a preparation for this war.
Many Russians see Putin as highly intelligent and able to foresee the full implications of an attack on Ukraine. This is far from being the case, and therefore his plan to seize Ukraine in 3-4 days failed miserably. The Ukrainians successfully repel the attack of the 150,000 Russian army and already over 11,000 Russians have died in Ukraine in 11 days of a large-scale invasion. The Russian occupiers are hungry because they have received only three days of dry rations, they are running out of fuel and increasingly they are abandoning their equipment and fleeing or surrendering. The Ukrainian army is also well rearmed with captured weapons, which are estimated at millions and tens of millions of dollars per unit.
Tough economic sanctions are necessary for Russia and are a logical response for the aggressor country. Already in the first days after their introduction, they have a devastating effect on the Russian economy. And every day this influence will increase. This will not stop Putin, but the people should think about it. If he does not eliminate his king, then let him deservedly live in poverty.
1067  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic effects after Russia blocks Facebook, Twitter, etc.! on: March 07, 2022, 09:59:47 AM
Is it really unclear why Facebook and Twitter are blocked in Russia? Over the past eight years of Russia’s hybrid war against Ukraine, the people of Russia have been deliberately zombified by the Putin regime about the presence of some kind of fascists and nationalists in Ukraine, so more than half of the Russian population supported Putin’s aggression and lauded the seizure of Ukrainian territory.

But in 11 days of a full-scale war in Ukraine, Russia's losses are so significant that Putin decided to close social networks for them to prevent information about the losses from spreading. So, today, according to the official data of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the losses of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are:
- more than 11,000 killed,
- 290 destroyed tanks,
- 999 armored vehicles,
- 46 aircraft,
- 68 helicopters,
- 117 artillery systems,
- 50 salvo fire systems,
- 23 air defense systems,
- 454 different vehicles,
- 3 warships, etc.

But is the population of Russia so innocent? These are innocent women and children who are now massively dying in Ukraine under rocket and bomb attacks by Russian soldiers, that is, someone's husbands, sons and fathers of this innocent population of Russia. This is only a small part of what awaits the Russians in the near future. You have to pay for everything, and for the criminal inaction of the people as well.
1068  Economy / Economics / Re: More destruction of Ukraine territory and economy going on on: March 07, 2022, 09:17:15 AM
That 40 mile long armored forced turned to be dummy and was implemented to identify how many aircraft Ukraine armed force left. One of Russians officials said that lately. Not only Ukraine Russia is also losing some aircraft and a great number of soldier to these war. Both economy is suffering due to these ongoing conflict which is slowly becoming the Syria of east.
Russia has thrown eight out of ten of its armies into Ukraine, about 95 percent of all the troops it has gathered at its borders earlier. After unsuccessful offensives on all four fronts of attack, the Russian army launched rocket and bomb attacks on homes, hospitals, schools and other civilian infrastructure in an effort to cause more damage to the Ukrainian economy.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are very professionally grinding the military power of the Russian Federation and they are greatly assisted in this by local self-defense units and the whole people, because they are defending their independence.

To date, in 11 days of a full-scale war, according to official data from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Russia's losses are:
- more than 11,000 killed,
- 290 destroyed tanks,
- 999 armored vehicles,
- 46 aircraft,
- 68 helicopters,
- 117 artillery systems,
- 50 salvo fire systems,
- 23 air defense systems,
- 454 different vehicles,
- 3 warships, etc.

Russia is already experiencing serious problems in terms of troops, ammunition, and logistics. After all, Putin and his entourage expected to completely occupy Ukraine in a maximum of four days. They are already beginning to understand that they cannot win this war.
1069  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation hits Russia on: March 04, 2022, 07:56:12 AM
Both countries will suffer after the war, not just ukraine but also russia will have an economy crisis because of many countries starting to sanctioned russia. In this war conflicts the citizens of both countries will be much more affected.

I think it will depend a lot on how the war turns out. At the moment it looks like Russia will win sooner or later and place a puppet government, similar to the one in Belarus. Then Ukraine would have a bad day economically, just like Russia. However, if Ukraine wins (e.g. if the Russian people overthrow Putin) and Russia has to withdraw, Ukraine could experience an economic boom, especially if the EU decides to include Ukraine more in the European economic system (it is possible in principle even without EU accession).
With each new day, it becomes more and more obvious that the advantage and initiative in the war goes to Ukraine. Russia suffers heavy losses in manpower and equipment, but has not achieved its goals in any of the four main directions of attack. Putin expected to capture Ukraine in three days, so the Russian troops were provided with food, fuel and ammunition for this period. Russian soldiers themselves do not understand what they are doing in Ukraine and for which they are already dying by the thousands. Therefore, they often leave their military equipment without fuel and run away or surrender.
At the same time, every citizen of Russia has already felt the effect of the latest international sanctions, which are simply disastrous for the Russian economy.
Ukraine needs to hold out until about March 10th. After that, the war will decline and end with a complete victory for Ukraine. Russia will not only get out of all the occupied territories of Ukraine, but will also be forced to rebuild the destroyed settlements in Ukraine and compensate for the losses caused to it. Only after that the sanctions will be lifted from it.
1070  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Russia economy grows higher after the war on: March 04, 2022, 05:55:59 AM
There is some chance that the sanctions and embargoes may bring something positive to Russia. First of all Putin's oligarchs are being investigated in Western nations over their dirty money that is stashed on various tax havens. It makes it difficult for them to move money from Russia to countries like the United Kingdom or France. In the end, they will be forced to spend all that money in Russia itself. And that will be in some way beneficial for the ordinary citizens of Russia as they will get back some of the money that has been stolen from them.
At first, Russian soldiers did not shoot at the civilian population of Ukraine. At the same time, Russian prisoners were also treated well in Ukraine, who, in fact, became victims of Putin's propaganda that there are only Nazis and fascists in Ukraine now. However, having met stiff resistance from the entire Ukrainian people, the Putin regime is using the same method that was previously used in the war with Chechnya. They ordered to shoot at the civilian population of Ukraine, seeking to provoke the anger of the Ukrainians and cruelty towards the captured Russians, so that the Russians would not try to surrender. Therefore, now civilians are massively dying in Ukraine. But in Russia itself there is propaganda that Ukraine is being liberated from neo-Nazis.
Now the civilized world is seizing the property of Russian oligarchs so that these funds can then be used to restore Ukraine. And rightly so, but the measures taken to stop the war are not enough yet.
1071  Economy / Economics / Re: Usdt and usa dollar is in danger on: March 04, 2022, 05:33:46 AM
I don't see any danger for the dollar yet. Cut off from the world's major currencies, including the dollar, Russia also poses no danger to the dollar. Under the current most stringent sanctions, Russia is already on the verge of default, for one ruble they already give half a cent. Although the Russian economy is rapidly falling, Russian occupiers continue to attack most cities in Ukraine. This morning they fired at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. There was a fire on it. The threat of nuclear contamination hangs over the world. If someone believes that this war concerns only Russia and Ukraine, then they are deeply mistaken. .There are a lot of nuclear facilities in Ukraine and everyone can become a new Chernobyl.
1072  Economy / Economics / Re: What if Russia economy grows higher after the war on: March 03, 2022, 08:38:01 AM
What will happen if at the end Russia succeed in her conquest against Ukraine and take over the economy of Ukraine. That will extend the economic power of Russia no doubt and that will make Russia more powerful.

How will EU and NATO countries relate with Russia if that happens ?
Don't even dream about it. Russia, in principle, could capture Ukraine, but it will not be able to keep its territory. In addition, during the first week of the attack, the Russian military made many mistakes, because of this the people of Ukraine have united so much that Putin will not even be able to occupy Ukraine.
The latest sanctions should hit the Russian economy very painfully, after which, apparently, it can turn into a secondary state and lose part of its territory.
1073  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: March 03, 2022, 08:19:43 AM
There are suspicions that Russia might fight back by shutting gas supply to the West. Some sources confirmed that the US is already in talks with Qatar to become Russia’s substitute. 
 
But Qatar and other oil and gas producing nations confirmed that they will not be able to provide substantial amounts of gas to replace Russia’s supply.
 
African countries have been tipped as the best option because the continent has some of the world’s deepest gas reserves. But Africa might not replace Russia because of insecurity and lack of infrastructures.

Who will replace Russia?

Now the issue of imposing an embargo on oil and gas from Russia is being discussed. Yesterday I heard the news on television that Iran announced the possibility of providing the whole world with oil and gas. So there are no irreplaceable people in this world.
Now the civilized world has united in the determination to help Ukraine defend its independence, and they are already ready to strike a sanctions blow against Russia, even to the detriment of their economic interests.
1074  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will Russia and Ukraine join hands...? on: March 03, 2022, 07:13:42 AM
As long as Ukraine continues to spout its fake news about how Russia is killing people, we certainly will not be able to properly look at the whole situation that is happening now. As long as people are ready to believe only one side, completely not listening to the other, unanimity, and peace will be difficult to achieve. Europe does not receive Russian news, which today they are completely trying to block.
But Russia and Ukraine have always been fraternal peoples, which they are now. Russia is not at war with Ukraine, it is at war with the nationalist and fascist regime, which has been operating for 8 years on the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, until the world sobers up and takes off its glasses, there will be an illusion that Russia is the aggressor. Although smart people, with logical conclusions, may look at the situation in a completely different way.
I think that you will sober up in the near future and take off those points that the people of Russia now have from Putin. What is the nationalist and fascist regime in Ukraine? What kind of Putin nonsense? When was the last time you were in Ukraine? How can postochnaya ideological propaganda change the minds of an entire nation. Nothing, these people will soon begin to see clearly.

Putin attacked Ukraine under the pretext that Ukraine would be a danger to Russia if it joined NATO, which means that it must be prevented from doing so. In his reflections on justifying the subsequent aggression, he even went so far as to deny the sovereignty of Ukraine, he violated its territorial integrity 8 years ago.

Right next to Russia's border, its neighbors are NATO members Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. For some reason, they are not a threat to Russia, but Ukraine will be. Therefore, Putin demands that Ukraine refuse to join NATO, and at the same time the European Union. Will not work.

Putin will not be able to bring the free people of Ukraine to their knees. During the seven days of the Russian invasion, they lost 5840 invaders killed, more than 200 prisoners, 211 tanks, 862 armored vehicles, 30 combat aircraft, 31 attack helicopters, 85 artillery systems, 40 multiple launch rocket systems, 9 air defense systems, 355 vehicles. Moreover, Russia does not want to take back its dead soldiers so as not to show losses, and for each killed in Ukraine it will pay his family an amount in rubles, which is equal to 50 dollars.
The invaders have already killed 2,000 civilians in Ukraine over the past week.

Peace between Ukraine and Russia is only possible if Putin's criminal regime falls.
Yesterday, the UN already adopted a resolution calling on Russia to immediately stop the aggression and completely withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine, including the previously occupied Donbass and Crimea. But Russia spat and spits on all international norms.
1075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ukraine Will Airdrop NFT in Exchange for Donation on: March 02, 2022, 11:48:05 AM
I get that they were just doing this "airdrop" to try and get everyone in crypto-space to donate but it feels kinda weird to me.
But hey, as long as this helps them to gather more donations, why not. Although I think it would be cool to have an NFT that shows you supported Ukraine in their times of need kinda like a badge. I wonder which chain they would do the airdrop though?
I live in Ukraine, but have not yet heard of donations in cryptocurrency. I am more interested in the situation on the fronts and military reports.
Ukraine has always had a positive attitude towards cryptocurrency, so it is quite possible that it is also used for donations.
In Ukraine, the digitized hryvnia is being launched on the ethereum chain, so I believe that this airdrop will also be on the same chain.
Ukrainians are now successfully resisting the invasion of 120,000 Russian troops. The enemy has not yet captured a single regional center out of 24. The Russians, in anger, are shelling residential areas, deliberately killing women and children. This causes complete unity and an even tougher rebuff to the aggressor.
1076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cryptocurrency will not save Russia from sanctions on: March 02, 2022, 06:19:20 AM
Russia can experience little relaxation using bitcoin against the sanctions. Even if you have fiat, now it isn't an easy thing to convert fiat to cryptocurrency in Russia. In my understanding maybe the usage of bitcoin could help with some 2-4% of the economy. A complete economic stability out of bitcoin in a country like Russia isn't a possible fact. Now the latest sanction is done by Apple. No more apple products sold in Russia.
International sanctions are multilateral and relate to various aspects, including Russia's exports and imports, the ban on using the dollar, euro, pound, yen for settlements, and other severe restrictions in the financial sector. Therefore, cryptocurrency cannot serve as a salvation for the Russian economy. Russia with its ruble becomes an outcast for the world. In some cases, sanctions are even applied to Russia's trading partners, so the Putin regime will have a very hard time. You have to pay for your crimes, although ordinary citizens will feel the sanctions to a greater extent. But they cannot be called innocent of the aggression against Ukraine. The people of Russia are to blame for not stopping Putin for so many years.
1077  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is going up during war? on: March 02, 2022, 05:52:07 AM
After the most severe sanctions imposed by the international community on Russia, inflation in this country is growing very quickly, the ruble is depreciating before our eyes. In this case, it would be absolutely logical in Russia to escape from sharp inflation by buying cryptocurrency. In Ukraine, I do not yet see a significant increase in prices or the hryvnia, although due to the disruption of food supplies and hostilities in most of the country, the situation is also rapidly deteriorating.
However, the rest of the world practically lives a normal life. There are no grounds for falling prices in the cryptocurrency market. That is why cryptocurrencies show the usual volatility: after a fall, there is a period of slight growth.
1078  Economy / Economics / Re: West should start de-coupling from Putin's Russia energy supplies on: March 01, 2022, 03:08:19 PM
Russia will be suffering big, unless Putin gets deposed and the successor is not power hungry and corrupt person, then we might see Russia as a brand new country. The sad thing about this is that Putin has the money to be able to buy the loyalty of those under him to prevent such thing. If things escalate though, this is probably for the best.
The fact is that Putin's power in Russia rests not only on his money, but in most cases on fear, since in this country any dissident immediately goes to jail. Therefore, Putin does not care about the opinion of his people. But the citizens of Russia need to muster up the courage to take up arms openly against their dictator, as they did in Ukraine in 2014. Their cowardice slowly turns them into a herd of hungry and obedient slaves. But no one can make that choice for them. Every day of inaction makes the citizens of Russia poorer.

As for energy carriers, now the civilized world has decided to ban their export from Russia. The first such decision has already been taken by Canada. The European Union, even before Putin's aggression on Ukraine, adopted a program to phase out Russian gas and oil and switch to renewable energy sources. The current situation should greatly speed up its practical implementation in time.
1079  Economy / Economics / Re: The ruble is going to hell on: March 01, 2022, 02:45:45 PM
The sanctions imposed on the state of Russia has been quite steep and was always going to have significant effect on their economy and impact the ruble.
How Russia would react would be interesting to see, as their major plays from this point is their reserve assets and their gold stashes.

Could this be one of the catalysts on why bitcoin is going up? Because it has increased a lot in the past few hours and probably many people are starting to convert their fiat and I try to preserve the value when using crypto currency.
Bitcoin provides a safe haven for citizens from unstable nations and this could be a reason for Russians to switch to bitcoin and consequently improve interest and demand.
I read the information that yesterday Biden asked the cryptocurrency exchanges to block any transactions that are connected with Russia. On the other hand, the Russian government wants to confiscate the population's deposits in its banks in order to support the falling economy and the war in Ukraine. Therefore, it will be increasingly difficult to convert non-cash rubles into bitcoin in Russia.
The Russians were afraid to storm their power and stop their mad Putin, now they have to storm ATMs to withdraw some of the cash.
The ruble is gradually turning into ordinary paper. Putin made a grand gesture to the Russians, promising to pay for every soldier killed in Ukraine to his family money in rubles, which corresponds to 50 dollars. But this amount continues to decrease due to ongoing inflation.
1080  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanctions left and right, Can the Russian economy survive? on: March 01, 2022, 01:56:26 PM
The Sanctions are very harsh. Happening everyday. Even today Volvo said they won’t sell cars to them anymore. And there are more and more Sanctions added every few hours it seems. Even the new Batman movie won’t be play in Russia.

I think this will mostly hurt the poor as the rich were probably well prepared in advance. And most likely Putin prepared for this move many months or years ago. So who knows? I am assuming they got a secret stash of cash or gold somewhere laying around to survive. I only feel bad for their hard working citizens which don’t deserve this.
Of course, Putin and his elite will not feel any lack of living standards. But then the citizens of Russia will feel it, and very soon. I am absolutely sure that Putin did not fully calculate the possible consequences of the imposed sanctions. Now all countries are very friendly and united in their desire to completely isolate Putin's Russia from the outside world. It is unlikely that Putin counted on such unanimity. Yesterday we saw the first consequences of such sanctions with the depreciation of the ruble and all shares of Russian companies. And this is just the beginning. Further consequences will grow like a snowball.

Russian citizens must realize that it is they who are responsible for the current situation with their economy. They, and no one else, must keep their kings within the law and hit them on the head in time, and sometimes in such a way that this head flies off. We see that one senile can put our planet on the brink of extinction of human civilization. From what side can this be justified and calculated?

For every citizen killed in Ukraine, Putin will pay his family only $50. This is how Putin evaluates the life of his Russian soldier. During the five days of a large-scale war in Ukraine, Russia lost 5,710 of its soldiers. It will cost the Putin regime $305,500. Cannon fodder needs to come to its senses and draw the appropriate conclusions.
