The heated debate surrounding Wildberries—whether it was a crime or not, whether it was legitimate or illegitimate, the complaints along the lines of “Why us?” (“We were only selling diapers”) and the appeals to sympathy—is nothing more than an attempt to distract from a simple, obvious fact: After five years of war, during which Russia has sought—and continues to seek, day after day (truly *every single day*)—to literally force Ukraine to its knees, it is simply absurd to debate the legitimacy or illegitimacy of these attacks.
I could cite a million reasons why this is legitimate, but—I repeat—that makes absolutely no difference. What matters is the price of the war—a price Ukraine is trying to drive up massively in order to end the conflict.
The man who instigated all this could literally put an end to it with the snap of his fingers. So let him snap—and do it quickly—while there is still something left.
