“ peace” for Russia will be very expensive. Everything they have taken has been destroyed. Looks like Russia can not maintain their own cities and infrastructure let alone rebuild what they have destroyed.
In many cases Russian cities have been required to supply resources to rebuild “sister” cities with no additional resources supplied by the state adding further financial and technical strains on these cities.
The Russian economy has devolved into a war economy sucking up every ruble and resource to feed the war, not feed the people.
Almost worse than the war continuing is the war ending for Russia.
It will be similar to after WW2, but with no Marshall plan.
Pitin will surely prioritize rebuilding military over rebuilding Russia, let alone his “new” territories.
“Almost worse than the war continuing is the war ending for Russia.

China will have a plan for them, but it won’t likely have such generous terms.
One aspect of Operation Spider Web, is that in a single night, Russia’s fleet of Strategic bombers fell from being the second biggest in the world (behind the USA) to the third biggest (behind China).

Not Brilliant😂
Aside from Putin’s ego need to become a modern Peter the Great, Putin the Great dead not care about what cities he destroyed. Shock and Awe was his goal in causing great destruction in places like Mariupol. All he really cares about in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea is possession and exploitation of the underground resources. There is oil and gas under the waters surrounding Crimea, and also under eastern Ukraine. There are many other resources already under exploitation and available under eastern Ukraine. Coal and iron were no doubt a reason for the huge steel plant defended so gallantly by the Azov troups of Ukraine, which Putin did NOT bomb to oblivion. This giant plant was one surface resource Putin actually had future plans to use.
The heck with cities and people. Given the treatment of his soldiers, it is clear his feeling is the heck with his people. When will his people decide “the heck with Putin.” Will the announced loss of 1,000,000 Russian soldiers on celebration day June 12, motivate a final solution to the Putin problem?
