War profiteering

I understand that fossil fuel producers and arms manufacturers are making money from the war, kind of by default, but is it right to refer to this as "war profiteering"? Is it really war profiteering in the strict sense? Because arguably, the term implies malicious behaviour on the companies' part, which (at least in the case of the arms producers) is not really apparent, ie they don't act in a way that actively prolongs the conflict. The argument that they do simply because they are producing weapons for states which then deliver them to Ukraine does not count in my opinion, as it is politically and particularly ideologically loaded and often used by pro-Russian factions. Thoughts? M.Aurelius C. (talk) 15:11, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Section on Armenia

I'd like to delete the section on Armenia for two reasons :

1) The sources do not line up with the text for example :The consequences of the conflict had both positive and negative effects on the economy of Armenia. One of the negative impacts of the war was that due to the influx of Russian migrants, the prices of the apartments in the center of the capital increased sharply on average 109000 AMD per square. If before the war people could rent an apartment in the center of the capital (two-rooms and furnished to be more specific) for 500 Euros, in 2022 during the war the price has risen for 50%. Cites this article https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-launch-new-sanctions-against-russia-over-barbaric-attack-ukraine-2022-02-24/ which does not even contain the word Armenia ! All other sources are of the same mismatch.

2) It has a limited pertinence to this article. If we include Armenia, we should include Poland and other bordering countries, but I feel this would reduce the overall quality of the page. Sambiakz (talk) 18:20, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

A typo

Sorry if I'm writing here for such a simple task, but I can't edit since I don't have 500 edits. The "infrastructure destruction" paragraph under the "Impact on population" one needs a capital I as the first letter. Thanks, Jtorquy (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Vodka? Seriously?

What kind of stereotypes, couldn't they find photos of another product than a random photo of a shelf with vodka. 176.120.205.56 (talk) 17:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Well the important part is the sign, do you have a picture of another Russian product being taken off the shelves? Slatersteven (talk) 17:05, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
