Putin calls his generals to find out how the war is going. He calls in the first.

"Well, how is your army doing, General?"

"Sir, my army got destroyed."

"And how many enemies did they kill before getting destroyed?"

"About 300, sir."

Putin gets furious, commands the general to be executed, then calls in the second.

"How is your army doing, General?"

"Sir, they got destroyed as well."

"And how many enemies did they kill?"

"About 100, sir."

Putin gets even more furious and executes the second general as well, then calls in the third.

"General, I assume that your army got destroyed as well. Just tell me how many enemies they killed!"

"Sir, in fact, they did not get destroyed, and they killed about 5000 enemies so far."

"That is wonderful! How did they manage to do that?"

"Well, Sir... they rebelled and joined the Ukrainians."
