The EU would. Agains denuclearisation for example and strong pro democratic levers.

No one would just pour money into russia like in the nineties though ofc.

I see the validity of that, but after seeing the russian populace's disregard for the horrors in ukraine I kinda feel reluctant.

We have to do a full german-1945 on them ofc.

Did that happen? If so, it didn't work very well, they're literally called the "hungry nineties" locally.

Big companies who invested billions and billions started in the nineties.

If you're thinking of the oligarchs, it was more like they pocketed billions and billions of dollars of existing Soviet stuff. The input required was just politics and personal risk.

No I thought of the megacorps like Exxon and Total who actually invested billions to get the resources out if the ground. And lots of other companies who invested in different stuff. I doubt that will happen again, at least in the near future.
