Many people share the opinion that Russia government could have handled things differently. They could have worked their success out without having to go after Ukraine as a prey. The idea is to invade Ukraine is revealing itself as a “not well thought of” – the victory of the battle is slipping away from Russian government and going in Ukraine’s favour.
Also Putin no longer has the full support of the Russian public.
His Russian public are echoing the sentiment that he could have invested his influence, energy and brains towards the developing the economy of Russia without having war in view.
Putin could not concentrate on improving the Russians’ standard of living as the EU, perhaps he is the only one calling the shot; it is a sign of intrapersonal conflict within Putin’s government when he relived his deputy general of his post some weeks back.
The situation now all across Russia is that conflict is breeding within the society; old friends have fallen out; parents and children are no longer on speaking terms; long-married couples no longer trust each another; and teachers and students are denouncing each other. Opinions are becoming polarized. Over time, polarized opinions are becoming radicalized.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the biggest military mobilization in Europe since World War II.
Instead of progressive economy, reverse is the case as a result of the ongoing war. Mr. Biden, vowing to turn Mr. Putin into a “pariah,” has announced tough sanctions aimed at cutting off Russia’s largest banks and some oligarchs, from much of the global financial system and preventing the country from importing American technology critical to its defense, aerospace and maritime industries.
Mr. Biden has also prohibited energy imports from Russia to the United States and issued sanctions against the company behind an energy pipeline connecting Russia to Germany.
Mr. Biden said the United States was freezing trillions of dollars in Russian assets, including the funds controlled by Russian elites and their families.
Western governments have also vowed to freeze assets belonging to Mr. Putin, but very little is known about what he owns and where it might be. The Biden administration could also institute sanctions that could deprive Russians of their beloved next-generation phones, laptops and other gadgets.
U.S. and European financial penalties and restrictions are throttling banks and other businesses in Russia, limiting the Russian government’s ability to use its enormous foreign currency reserves, and impeding millions of Russians from using their credit cards, accessing their bank deposits or traveling abroad.
