From Robin Brooks, chief economist at the International Institute of Finance:
Though the Kremlin will never openly admit it, Russia’s economy is in serious trouble - and it’s far worse then they’re letting on.
I think that part of the motivation for the war was the fact that the Russian economy was already reeling from the pandemic and massive corruption and now they can use Western sanctions as a convenient way of covering up their own criminal negligence.
