This is a tough one, things like this make you a less effective leader during a wartime, but at the same time the history has shown many times how happy wartime leaders are to give back the extra power they gained because of war.

I really wish Russia just fucked off and Ukraine had the time to heal.

It's that old saw about what can happen when you fight monsters. Ukrainians have shown incredible resilience and humanity in the face of a fight that would have gotten me absolutely twisted.
