Can they hurry up with the slow death already?
For anyone who wants to help out speeding up Russias death spiral I always recommend to donate to https://protectavolunteer.com/ it literally sends your donation straight to the front line:

We are helping Alpha Company get a trailer.
They need a trailer to transport broken vehicles and ATVs to their area of operation. It will cost around $5,000 and we have around $2100 raised so far.
This will actually save them money long-term as they won't need to pay towing fees to get broken vehicles to mechanics. For any donor that contributes $250 or more, Ronin Team has signed Ukraine flags and has a polaroid photo that we are sending to these donors. You can donate at protectavolunteer.com and choose "1st Squadron."
A volunteer will follow up with you to get your address if you are getting a flag. Please be patient to get these as shipping internationally can be unpredictable.
There are others like https://savelife.in.ua/en/ which is awesome and I've donated to all last year as well
Another chapter in the tragedy of empire. Russia’s “rainy day fund” evaporating isn’t a surprise—it’s the inevitable collapse of a regime built on imperial nostalgia and gaslighting. National Wealth Fund? More like national delusion fund, propping up kleptocrats while the masses freeze.
They’ll blame sanctions, NATO, or “Western aggression,” but never admit the rot is homegrown. Petrodollar addiction meets Soviet-era mismanagement, and the result? A slow-motion trainwreck we’ve all seen before.
But don’t weep for the oligarchs. Their yachts still float; it’s the rest drowning in this farce. The only thing slower than Russia’s death? The world’s memory of why empires always fall.
