I'm sure all the dead Russians will appreciate that. Its really nice for the oligarchs to pass this expense onto the population of the country.

Fuck Putin, the rest of the world will destroy whatever that 68% will buy.

An already poor country sinking even further, what a shame. They could spend this on education, healthcare, or decent infrastructure but instead they choose a barbaric land grab and death.

Russia loves pushing others downs instead of pulling itself up

Their leadership does. The average Russian doesn't know what it's like to be free like they are in developed, democratic countries. They've always been oppressed by the Kremlin, so it's normalized.
