Russia is currently facing the most punitive financial measures and sanctions ever imposed on a country in the modern financial system.
The invasion of Ukraine has prompted a severe political backlash and international condemnation, combined with an exclusion from markets that will, if it persists, have a hugely harmful effect on the Russian economy.
Whether President Putin sees the economic hardship as a price worth paying for the annexation of Ukraine remains to be seen.
I suspect Putin was hoping for a 48 hr blitzkreig victory with the replacement of the government and the placing of stooges in their places ending it cheaply and quickly. Oops.
