Gonna be a lot of wealthy ex Ukranians when its all over. The battle is generating a lot of wealth
The war has bankrupted countless Ukrainian businessmen. A great many factories have been destroyed by Russian bombings, farmers near the front lines can't harvest their crops, shipping out of Ukrainian ports was shut down for a year, etc. Electricity outages last winter meant that industries and business were frequently idled. The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam destroyed irrigation systems and water supplies for a vast area in southern Ukraine.
Overall, the war caused the Ukrainian economy to contract by 35% in 2022. It's rebounded some this year, but Russia's invasion has caused incredible economic devastation across Ukraine.
It's certainly true that Ukraine still has work to do in its fight against corruption, but "generating a lot of wealth"? Saying that is as stupid as it is evil.

It’s really funny you don’t hear from all the Putin lovers when things like this happen. I guess because there’s no possible way they can spin it as no big deal. Honestly what’s even more important than that landing ship sitting at the bottom of the port is the fact that it is sitting at the bottom of the PORT which means it’s blocking all those loading cranes and that isn’t changing anytime soon. It’s going to take them a long time to get that sunken ship out of the way so they can reuse that docking spot to load/offload materials. Have they said if it was the sea baby drones, Neptune or StormShadow launched from Su-24s yet?
