The same talking points (propaganda) that falsely predicted a Russian economic collapse within moments of western sanctions when the war started years ago.
the Russian state is brought to its knees.
Imagine not being a simp to western hegemony and not wanting humans to suffer in any country.
The source you cite lists 103 nations as less corrupt than Ukraine and only 76 measurably more corrupt. Ukraine is far below average.
Taking measures is not equivalent to making gains. Reality is reality, no matter what level of optimism you have.
Why trust your out of date sources instead of recent headlines regarding corruption amidst a reconstruction estimated at almost half a trillion dollars?

While you spout nonsense about democracy, most westerners have declared their utter dissatisfaction.
A record-low 28% of Americans are satisfied with the way democracy is working in the United States, down from 35% in early 2021 (Source: “American satisfaction with democracy at record low: Gallup”, published January 6, 2024).

They may be making territorial gains but that is at a massive cost.
A phone call on Friday between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Russian President Vladimir Putin drew criticism from Zelensky, who accused Scholz of opening a “Pandora’s box” that only works to undermine efforts to isolate Russia’s leader.
The more western nations have tried to isolate Russia, the stronger its bonds have grown with China, Iran, India, Brazil, North Korea, and numerous other nations.
Zelensky may well value an end to the war more than the territories he expects to concede. It would be more irrational to try the same thing (if Harris had won) and expect a different outcome to the war.
The same way he locked up Hillary in 2016 right? Biden is a liar and hypocrite. His sycophant supporters are out of touch with reality.
