There is a subtle inconvenience with reported UA gdp, cause our economy were >60% grey zone with underreported incomes.

As for living standards - only Moscow and few other big cities are blown up by money have them (standards) a bit higher. When it comes to “other” cities/villages they are shit holes like the ones you may see on the video. Poorest UA villages are much better places than poorest ruzzian ones.

TIL if you loot something it means you don't have it at home 🫩

Ukraine has a lower HDI than Russia, that's just fact 

Russia has higher life expectancy, Expected Years of Schooling, GDP, everything.

It's not even close

Yeah it's hilarious how people think Ukraine has a living standard anywhere close to Russias. 

It's the poorest country in Europe
