These keep happening a lot!
It's not a coincidence that the Russia recently demanded that Ukraine should end attacks against the Russian oil infrastructure (and that in exchange Russians would stop bombing heating power plants during the spring and summertime, heh)
It's seriously hurting their economy!
EDIT: Changed "energy infrastructure" to "oil infrastructure".
Fantastic news
It's seriously hurting ~~their economy~~ Putin's wallet.
FTFY.
Putin doesn't care about Ruzzia's economy.
It's a very good thing he doesn't. Russians want to take over Ukraine and their economy sinking stops them from doing so. The less Putin cares about economy, the worse for the Russia. And therefore, the better for Ukraine.
No, it's precisely the Russian economy I'm thinking about. Putin wing be in any risk of going bankrupt as long as the Russia has a functioning economy, so actually be doesn't really care about his wallet either. He's ready to pay a lot of money for the glory he expects to have.
Getting Putin bankrupt is not very realistic in my understanding, but getting the Russia bankrupt seems very feasible. Especially with Putin in the lead.
It's not really the Russian energy infrastructure though. It's Russia's oil export infrastructure.
True, but since oil export infrastructure officially counts as energy infrastructure, glavgopnik Putin was able to use that phrasing and that's the phrasing I read in the news. I'll edit my comment, thanks!
I wasn't trying to correct you, but more to say that Russia is hiding behind the definition. Energy infrastructure is a protected target because destroying it harms civilians. Russia is putting it's money making machine under the same umbrella even though the impact of attacking it should only harm the state.
Don't worry, I understood that :)
But, when I'm writing on a public forum such as this one, the target group of my text is usually the set of people that will read my comment, among which the person I'm replying to is only one individual among hundreds of others. I liked your insight, and am happy that you said it aloud.
You don't like destroyed infrastructure?
Guess what: Countries you invade don't like that, too! Crazy, isn't it?
Good
Nice to have some good news on these struggling times.
It looks so much better now!
No ceasefire. Russia needs to take it's medicine
Total destruction looks so good on ruzzia !
