> So far he has managed the situation fantastically
If you don't count the tens of thousands of dead and millions displaced, the destruction of the most modern parts of the Russian army, and all that?
> Rubel stable
When will people stop parroting this propaganda piece? The ruble is stable because it's exchange rate is purely theoretical.
> no unrest at home
Because anyone protesting against the war was beaten up and sent to prison for up to 15 years.
> many friends support him, incl. Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa.
Check out the UN resolution condemning the war. The only "friends" supporting him are the likes of North Korea.
> Inflation explodes in the West
Due to a pandemic and a war, most people understand that. In Europe most people are accepting of that due to the threat that Russia is. Also, inflation in Russia is also huge, in the double digits, and the worst is yet to come ( according to the chief of their central bank, who says next quarter will be worse).
> more death in Ukraine
Ukraine managed to fend off the initial Russian invasion on its own. Seeing the brutality of the Russian occupiers, you can't know how many would have died under Russian occupation. And good for you you've managed to convince yourself Ukrainians don't matter.
> pledge to rebuild the Ukraine while ALL Ukrainians that I am personally helping say that this money will be lost in the corruption swamp
I somehow doubt there are many Ukrainians focusing on corruption after the war. You know, the existential war for Ukraine's existence. The rebuilding of Ukraine will be extremely important and easily verifiable. Some of the money might go into corrupt pockets, but those people would get lynched if found out due to the national trauma involved.
- egorfine 4y ago> those people would get lynched if found out due to the national trauma involved. I wish. They are being found out during these days and not lynched. Some may not even suffer any consequences. Source: am Ukrainian.
- sofixa 4y agoReally? Considering the state of Ukraine at the moment, I'd really think anyone caught stealing in a literally life and death situation would get a fast track sentence. Do you have any sources (Ukrainian is fine, i kind of understand it)?
- egorfine 4y agoUkraine is a state of law. Paradoxically, Ukraine is also ridden with corruption (far from russian levels though). So no fast-track is possible while bailing actually is. So what happens is that the thieves are getting caught sometime and then they are released on a laughable bail. Of course they disappear and later on their case disappear as well. BTW one of the requirements that Ukraine has to meet before we can even discuss dreaming of joining the EU is a refactoring of judiciary system. Because it surely looks like this is the main factor supporting corruption. Lynching though is something that doesn't happen in ukrainian society. Sources: my networking. Not something you will find in any official news sources because it's mostly a background noise for us.

- throw-ru-938 4y ago> The ruble is stable because it's exchange rate is purely theoretical. If you are an oil exporter, yes, but if you're an average Ivan in Moscow/Petersburg, it's not. You can buy USD cash once again, and even though the cash exchange rate spread is huge, it's still much cheaper than before the invasion. (Source: I'm Russian)
