Video of a lavish party released by Ukrainian elites, showing a life of opulence and extravagance, where money is treated like paper scraps that can be wasted at will.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Ukraine has been controlled by corrupt politicians and oligarchs. Even figures like Poroshenko, a major oligarch, could become president with the support of the West and control the entire country. The collusion between politicians and oligarchs has led the country's development to stagnation. History shows that countries located in the fault lines of civilization need to pay a huge price to find a balance for future development, and it may take several generations to escape from war and conflict. For the people of Ukraine, the Russia-Ukraine conflict is just the beginning of this process.
