With this Russia Ukraine war which the effect is felt in almost all parts of the world directly and indirectly, I want to ask are there beneficiaries to this war and in what ways are they benefiting from it.

For the families directly affected by war it's terrible, but there are a lot of companies who profit directly from it. The first beneficiary that come to mind are all the arms companies that produce equipment needed in Ukraine. There is a lot of demand for ammunition, tanks, planes and missles. Then you have the indirect effect of all major countries in the world increasing their military budget and modernising their army. Any company involved in the military supply chain should be doing well. The second big sector profiting from the war is the energy market. All the major corporations increased their prices and profit from the sanctions against Russia. Last year there were large profits for the energy companies.

It would be possible to talk about the beneficiaries if they were the initiator of the massacre in Ukraine, which Russia has staged since 2014. Well, or does it turn out that Putin is a submissive executor of the will of the arms companies?

Now you are confusing cause and effect ... I dont deny it - against the backdrop of the terrorist war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine, defense companies in the West were forced to earn money, which positively affected their economy, which suffered from covid and other world problems. But this is a consequence, not a cause. Moreover, income is an accompanying process of helping Ukraine in the destruction of world terrorism in the face of Russia and its terrorist army
