Russia has massive natural wealth that would have enriched his people immensely. Russia also had a massive war chest built since WW2. Putin is wasting all that to destroy and rob Ukraine, killing its people.Now Putin is shamelessly begging KIm, Xi and mullah's as he cannot maintain the war against a much smaller nation without a proper navy and air-force. He has killed or maimed nearly half a million of his people, cannot maintain civil infrastructure, if war stops now will take more than a couple of decades to get to 2021 economic levels.
