> You are leaving no legacy to your people of which they would feel proud.
That is one of the problems that is often omitted but matters a lot. After Putin dies, what kind of legacy will he leave for Russians? They already struggle with the attitude to adapt. Many choose to ignore it totally, which seems logical because as ordinary citizens they have zero influence on the war.
What about their children, though? You learn that your country attacked another one, your compatriots were torturing, mutilating, raping and murdering innocent civilians. You can no longer pretend, as all countries do, that they are the righteous one. Just like Germany after WW2, you need to live with this stain.
