Putin keeps seceding power to the Xi. Has little choice given he has backed Russia into a very dark corner of the world. Russia was on the road to success and integration into Europe and the generally. Stpe by step Putin's Russia is becoming a vasal state, like North Korea.
How Putin saw the invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent murder of Ukraine and Russia troops for Ukraine civilian lands is quite bizarre. Ego and lack of education are a dangerous combination for KGB trained Putin,
Ukraine should be helped by NATO via a no-fly zone over its sovereign territory, protection of civilian infra-structure.
