N-TV in Germany did a report on the Ukraine-Russia war....from a different prospective. They noted....it's not really a 1,000-day war going on.....that Russia has been engaged in some conflict on Ukraine soil for almost 11 years now (if you count the Crimea business).
The German journalist pointed out....a lot of Russians quietly point at this, and then silently grumble. They really don't see the 'gain' but no one wants to say much against Putin.
The fact that a fair sum of Russians have left the country over the last the 3 years? This is never clear about the number. Some analysts put the number at 1-to-1.5-million. Some say it might be closer to 2.5-million. Some Russians left, and quietly came back 6 months later.....some of those folks even left a 2nd time (you might have to count them twice in some funny way).
It begs the question....even if the war ends....how does Russia restructure its economy and regain economic numbers?
