Ukraine has been shelling them because they (Ukraine) were ignoring the ceasefire, they (Ukraine) can't ignore an actual peace treaty without serious consequences, they would just restart the war at that point and then we're back to square one.

The bar for Russia here is so goddamn low.

Sure, I'm just saying they wouldn't really go that much above the bar.

Just going by generally used economic indicators, at least materially they will. Ukraine was the poorest country in Europe in 2021. Even poorer than Belarus or Moldova. And that was before the war.

You are ignorant. The people of Crimea, the DPR, and LPR all have attested to the influx of state investment in infrastructure and public services. They contrast this with the lack of such under ukraine.

The bar is noticeably higher according to the people affected.

Got any sources on that that aren't directly Russia-aligned? Or if they are how backed up by data are they?

Just google "Crimea bridge", there you have a data-backed example.
