Some economic/population points on Russia in the wake of the Ukraine war:

1. Russia's economy would be 5% larger without the invasion of Ukraine.
2. Moscow spends over $100 billion defense, nearly a third of its total expenditures.
3. The Russian population is voting with their feet and leaving Russia at record rates. Emigration hit 668,000 in 2022, a 71% increase over the average of the prior five years.
