Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

Can The West ever be Reconciled with Russia? - Professor Mark Galeotti​

Very interesting lecture and Q&A afterwards from acknowledged Russophile. Click through to Youtube


I think he's a little too invested in Russia and he definitely is too trusting in the Russian ability to re-adjust to civilised society (post-war), but he does raise many interesting points.
 
Not to mention losing his biggest customer (Europe) for the foreseeable future (unless a chunk of each sale goes directly to Ukraine as reparations).
Germany will be back buying oil and gas off Russia within the decade mate.

That's if they've ever actually stopped.

For the Ruskies, this will all have been worth it, if they hold onto the land they have, life there is cheap indeed.
