Judging by how much territory slabba poopani is conceding over the course of the entire war and the mineral deals/territory it had to give up to the United States for it to just halt weapons shipments anyways compared to Russia slowly inching along and ramping up 12x production against a Nazi state backed by the already-faltering imperialist west…I’d doubt it. Maybe they can shout some more slaba poopani chants and kill some more kids in Donetsk to appease the NATO demons.
Or you can have an industrialized state owned or geared in favor of the proletariat under a socialist economy able of providing those amenities and comfortably in mass for millions.
