It appears to me, that in general, russians in their envy do not care that they have little to nothing as long as those around them are worse off. They do not have plans to lift people of their country out of poverty, only using those who are poor as cannon fodder. The oligarchs beside putin simply want to destroy all that Ukraine has built and plunder all of Ukraine’s natural resources to further enrich themselves and force others to work for nothing. I am glad that my grandparents who fled Stalin are not alive to see this happening all over again. My heart goes with prayers for all of Ukraine’s brave defenders. I am saddened by the invaders destruction and vicious murders. Glory to Ukraine and to the hero’s glory!
