The Ukes don’t have any money and worse, they sold the two carriers that Russia was building, and abandoned, in Ukeland when the USSR broke up. The Ukes sold one of the carriers to China who have it running now, and one to India. I think the Indians are using theirs to smuggle elephants? By getting Krimea back Ivan might have a warm water shipyard again and be able to resume large ship construction . It no doubt hurt Pootin’s feelings that he had to pay the Frogs to build a couple of ships for him.
