I have commented here a number of times that the Russian "end state" has three geo political goals that their non linear warfare and remember non linear warfare does not exclude the financial and political side of "political warfare".
One of those goals has been the discrediting of the EU as an economical and political bloc using what Putin clearly dislikes--neo liberal economics.
Kwasniewski: Russia’s policy aims to break up EU

"Russia earlier conducted not one European policy, but ‘28+1’: The 28 – these are bilateral relations with the EU member states, and the one policy was the most unimportant – it was with Brussels," he said.
According to Kwasniewski, the European Union and the leaders of European countries should make every effort "so that this does not work."
"This Russian policy in relation to the European Union can be explained by the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the EU is an artificial structure, that it will not stand, and that he has to work with different EU member states in order to split the EU, just as the Soviet Union was split before," Kwasniewski said.
AND if one really thinks through the Russian aims inside the Ukraine there is an inherent "financial and business side" we do not talk much about as we in the US would not believe one would go to war over it.
I have made the comment here to the effect that Russia might in fact be fighting the 21st centuries' "first raw resources and globalization effects war".
Really read the link on the dependence of Russia on the Ukraine and notice that Rostec their leading defense industrial complex is laying off 40K.
