I bet he did, but still having entered the 5th year now, he should begin to wonder why so many support Ukraine, and no one supports Russia.
It can’t even be said that China is supporting Russia, all they do is not sanction them. So China still trade with Russia, but is also exploiting the opportunities it creates that Russia is hard pressed.

Russia is losing all around, even to the ones that might be considered allies. Russia is paying a high price for their “assistance”, and is losing their standing and any leverage they may have had. Russia is the underdog in ALL relations now.
