Interesting idea.

"NATO should not have placed offensive weapons on our historic lands and supported and encouraged Ukrainian nationalists to burn our people alive in Donbas just because they are Russian in race and spirit." Russian President Vladimir Putin stresses that Russia did not start the war but was put in a position where it simply had to face blatant aggression.

Russia spends about $2 billion a day for the war against Ukraine. Medwedev, the hardliner is surprised schools in Russia have no money for indoor toilets.

Russia Plans Welfare and Education Cuts in 2027 as War Spending Soars

Russia will reduce funding for welfare, education, and healthcare in its state budget for 2027, focusing more on military spending. Planned defense expenditures will rise to 17.1 trillion roubles ($202.58 billion), which is about 27% more than the previous budget. Funding for social policies, such as pensions and veterans’ payments, will decrease by 7%, while education and healthcare budgets will drop by 6% and 6.8%, respectively. Spending on infrastructure and agriculture will also decline by 7.4%.

The country’s budget situation has worsened during the nearly five years of war in Ukraine, leading to the use of fiscal reserves, increased borrowing, and tax hikes to manage military costs. Although Russia aims to establish a three-year budget for better planning, it has consistently had to adjust its financial figures upwards and has failed to meet deficit targets.

Tax increases and rising utility tariffs have upset some supporters of the Kremlin. Despite the reduced budget for non-military areas, costs associated with debt servicing are expected to grow significantly, reaching 9.4% of total spending in 2027 and continuing to rise.

He didn't down any aircraft.

So why are you calling him a fighter ace then is he didn't shoot down any enemy aircraft?

Meanwhile little Norway baths in money. Imagine Putin does the same for Russia.

Ukrainians and Westerners say he is ace. Not me.

Congrats Ukraine army to success at the Lyman sector

Footage shows Russian interceptor drones in action over Crimea, specifically engaging and destroying Ukrainian drones in the skies above Sevastopol. The specific type of interceptor drone has not been disclosed. It is worth noting that not all incoming drones are successfully shot down, as they can arrive in the hundreds.
