it seems that when talking about the war in ukraine, most people focus on the very difficult situation in ukraine and "forget" about russia. in fact, the situation in ukraine is indeed difficult, but it is difficult for both sides. with the help and a lot of effort of russian propaganda, a semblance of stability and success of putin's regime is created. but it is only a semblance. right now, russia is:  a mafia-like, corrupt state;  killing not only ukrainians: hundreds of thousands of russians have been killed and wounded.  problems with mobilization and north koreans entering the fight for russia;  huge emigration, repressions of population;  international isolation and sanctions;  attempts to close the information space;  inflation and future collapse of the economy if the war continues;  poisoning of the population with propaganda and degradation;  demographic problems;  technological stagnation. russian propaganda (and those serving its interests) are eager to show russia in the strongest possible position before the negotiations. but in reality, russia is weakened, dependent and has not achieved its goals since february 2022. let's keep clarity and common sense and support the armed forces of ukraine.   s/1857452878115299672
