It's worth examining this problem and seeing how it's affected the Russian armed forces. 1st 🧵 in a series.

Corruption is the thread which holds Putin's regime together, and money (in dollars or Euros, naturally, not low-value rubles) is its lifeblood. And nobody has more of it than Putin himself - at least an estimated $200 billion, salted away in secret funds worldwide.
