It's so egotistical to believe that inflation is related to Russia imploding. Covid-19 has been raging for three years and Putin only invaded three weeks ago. It's this kind of thinking that is destroying Russia. Spooky Color Revolutions! They must be trying to unseat me, says Putin. I'll just invade Ukraine so they'll agree to demilitarize and give me a safety buffer. But having proved to be a dangerous and belligerent neighbor, he's only strengthened NATO's rationale. Bombing all the maternity wards isn't going to convince the Ukrainians to lay down their arms.

I'm curious as to where you get your news. The main column of armor moving on Kyiv was 3 km long on the first day. Then 6 km. It's a 40 km parking lot, dotted by drone strikes, today. Have you really not heard of that?
