Facing a catastrophic daily war cost, Vladimir Putin has triggered a massive internal purge, extorting $90 billion in private assets from his own oligarchs. Rather than stabilizing the crumbling Russian economy, these seized strategic companies are being handed directly to his loyal security apparatus. This systemic state extortion has triggered massive capital flight—over $17 billion in just seven months—and paralyzed critical infrastructure investments. While the Kremlin quietly cuts compensation for the families of fallen soldiers and raises taxes on civilians, Russian billionaires have seen their wealth surge to a record $696 billion, with elites still flying private jets to Western Europe. In this SITREP, we analyze the Kremlin's internal cannibalization and how Putin's ultimate betrayal is accelerating a total state collapse.
