Poor actions for the people

Putin dumps food and dairy into a landfill to protest the EU’s sanctions on Russia. Did he think about the people of Russia and how they need the food and he’s wasting all that food to try to prove a point. So what was the point? How did you gain something other then paying for food and the putting it in a land fill. So what did you gain? So how did the Russian people gain from this action? All you did was waste food that the people of Russia would have gladly taken. It was a waste all around. Nothing gained. No point made. Just a waste of food.
