"...russia only attacked Ukraine because of security conerns over NATO (proven flat out lie !)..."
You didn't prove sh!t tangs. You just had a bit of a sob and refused to consider all the evidence that was presented to you.
Biggest piece of evidence being Jan Stoltenberg's September 2023 interview, where he clearly stated that Russia invaded Ukraine over fears of NATO expansion. Nothing about land.
Russian Economy, as per IMF:
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised its forecast for Russian economic growth this year to2.6 percent from an earlier estimate of 1.1 percent.

Russia’s economy will expand much more rapidly this year than previously expected, according to the IMF, as President Vladimir Putin’s military spending feeds through into wider growth.
The Russian upgrade, by 1.5 percentage points, is the largest for any economy featured in an update to the fund’s World Economic Outlook, released on Tuesday.
The IMF’s prediction paints a stronger picture of the Russian economy’s immediate outlook than even the Kremlin’s own forecasters. Russia’s conservative central bank forecast growth of just 0.5-1.5 per cent in 2024 last November, a drop from 2.2-2.7 per cent in 2023.
“It is definitely the case that the Russian economy has been doing better than we were expecting and many others were expecting,” he told the Financial Times in an interview.
And please don't start spinning your little yarn about how the IMF regurgitates Kremlin propaganda.
