I posted this on another thread yesterday. The bitter irony is that Putin says he is going in to protect Russian speakers from 'genocide'. Well, Kharkiv is majority Russian speaking, and it's being decimated.



I am having difficulty understanding exactly what the longer term outcome will be in terms of what is left standing when this is over. If much of Ukrainian infrastructure and the cities are heavily damaged, is Putin going to rebuild them when his economy is tanking? Western money won't be available if Russia claims the country, so what do we have left? An insurgency fighting in a shell of a country? Too depressing... Authorities said central parts of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, continued to be subjected to "massive shelling and bombing" on Wednesday morning, while firefighting is "underway." "As a result of enemy missiles hitting, administrative buildings collapsed with subsequent fires," regional emergency services said. At least four people were killed and nine were injured, while 10 were rescued from the rubble, emergency services said.

Add to this the cost of rebuilding the Ukrainian infrastructure he is currently destroying. Ukraine without a functioning infrastructure isn’t worth anything and the Western world will NOT finance this rebuilding if the Ukaine is under Russian control. Maybe China will but they will will make sure it benefits them and not Russia.
