Why not take money from the frozen Russian assets in Europe, every time Russia does something like this then more money should be taken from there for reconstruction, they will think twice before doing this kind of shit.

I also wouldn't be surprised if this drastically improved recruitment rates for the Ukrainian military. With this single act, Russia basically revitalized the Ukrainian war machine and further cemented resistance among a population that was starting to feel the fatigue of war.

Well played Russia.
