France was selling arms to Russia in 2022 while the sanctions were being imposed.
Russia is getting rid of its prisoners by sending them to fight in Ukraine, freeing up some space for new ones.
Countries that support Ukraine have a way to test their weapons in a real conflict. Some of these weapons like combat drones and new long range artillery systems were waiting many years for this.
A similar thing is happening in Russia where Armata and Terminator tanks can finally be used in battle.
The ones pulling the strings of this war are making money, regardless of the outcome. Just like pharmaceutical companies were making money during the pandemic.
