Russia is...

  • destroying its young male population leaving a disproportionate young woman population
  • decimating its domestic manufacturing capacity
  • losing markets for its vast natural resources
  • economically and politically becoming isolated from the rest of the world as a consequence of its actions
  • losing access to western import via sanctions

This looks like the fast-track to becoming a vassal state to China.

Which is why the EU needs to increase aid to Ukraine. If Russia becomes a Chinese vassal, that is an even bigger security risk, then Russia alone. So Russia has to loose quickly and get a new leadership.
