Remember, when the USSR broke up, the former member countries took many resources with them.

Access to numerous resources including nuke reactors, natural gas channels, access to precious metals and some had more accessible oil reserves. Putin won't stop until he gets them all back or is killed in the process. Not too mention the productive people
