That's their idea, pray for rain? How far they have fallen. Old Slavs knew that only human sacrifice helps bring rain

I guess the 600,000 sacrifices in Ukraine don't count since they were sacrificed for greed and blind nationalism instead of rain.

No, that's not nearly enough, tell them they need to sacrifice another 10m but they'll have perfect crop yields.

Just tell them they have to be sacrificed on the Russian soil in question.
