That is a really interesting link even if worldbank is questionable.  Note how Ukraine, even with it's enviable resources, was always in the red until AFTER the special military operation when the U.S. corp/gov players in particular started massive money laundering through them.  They seem to have 'gone green' about the time when power for most of the pleb classes became an iffy thing due to Russian 'calibrations.'

It's interesting that in the dot-com bubble years Ukraine was in the Niger/Chad range in terms of 'income level'.  Around that time I had a Ukrainian giantess with several college degrees cleaning my house from time to time.  (Never fucked her, BTW, though it probably would have been an interesting experience.)

Also, if my memory serves, it was around this time that Putin took over Russia and put the Chicago School boys out of business in their loot-the-former-Soviet-Union games.  At least in Russia.  That explains fairly well the 'Putin-is-Hitler' shtick that they won't stop pushing no matter how absurd.  Seems like they made up for their losses by doubling down on the exploitation of Ukraine.

I cannot figure out why the native Slavs of Ukraine cannot see how they are being used/abused (and now genocided) in disproportionate degree by a (((particular tribe))) and resist a little bit.  I have to entertain the suggestion from members of said tribe that the natives are simply pretty stupid and manipulable but I don't have to agree that God (or G-d or whatever) put them...and me...on this earth for the sole purpose of serving (((them))).  I would have to agree with the Christians that 'the Lord works in strange ways' sometimes.
