A lot of the Western Companies’ Assets that were either seized (stolen) and/or forced to be sold at criminally low price, were awarded to Russian loyalists.
Those Russians do not want competition to return.

Russian TG channel reports "chaos" in the 272nd Motor Rifle Regiment near Kupiansk. After “big stars” from Moscow replaced the regimental commander in early December, troops were given unrealistic orders to take Pishchane and Kurylivka and push on Kupiansk-Uzlovyi, despite shortages in manpower.

How do we know it's Russia who is behind the drone incursions into NATO countries?
1. Because the models downed are Russian models, like the Orlan type.
2. Because it fits in with Russian 'hybrid warfare'.
3. Because the drones appear where certain Russian ships go.
