Since your post is basically positive to Russia you are safe from jonboy spelling and grammar check lol
To your point, Russia has done a good job keeping their debt low compared to the west which I think was your point.

However Putin did that by keeping much of his profits from hydrocarbon sales, and neglecting the infrastructure needs of vast regions of Russian federation.

That strategy is starting to fail. Revenue from sales is way down, inflation is reported around 10%, but in reality I would guess it is much higher, interest rates are 21%+, ruble crashing in value, and the costs, like this debt forgiveness, to maintain this war are skyrocketing.

Will see what their debt situation is down the road

" and neglecting the infrastructure needs of vast regions of Russian federation." This is not the Ukraine, and it's not Russia. We can't spare poor Cuyahoga County a few million to clean this up. Ukraine is our top priority after all. But what do you care, being a foreigner. Back in the USA
