Once companies are held accountable for the weapons and whatever else the money they paid in ransom gets spent on, things will finally change. Until then, we use the word "victim" with too much lenience. The secondary victims, the ones getting bombed, or the ones that will be targeted and threatened with the nukes that just got paid for with the ransom money, shouldn't be left out of the equation as they have been thus far.

I'm sure some people don't like that way of thinking, but where else do you think one spends $22mil per "victim"? $30 billion a year buys a lot more than fancy clothes and yachts.
