$2.8 billion, you say. Did you notice that the amounts are slacking off? Soon it will be $2.8 thousand. The Russians and Wagner are sitting back and chuckling about how dumb Ukrainians have become since the smart ones left Ukraine like a year ago.
Millions went to Russia. Many more stayed in-situ, in both private life and throughout the government, and are feeding intel to Russia as evidenced by the pin-point strikes taking out missile systems, DU arms depots, etc. Probably most of even the non-Russian speakers have been at least indirectly abused and dismayed by the behavior of the Nazis installed by the Zionist neocons in the 2014 coup and it's now pay-back time.
Almost without question the Nazis will double-down on the terrorism against the Ukranian people and almost without question it will lead to increasing levels of blow-back in a cyclic nature. That's an Achilles' heal of managing a population using internal terrorism. Tension builds up, then one small tear (e.g., Russia's 'special military action') rips through like wild-fire. But again, since it's all the Nazis have and know, they are sure to double-down using characteristic methods.
