Russia has a very severe case of Dutch Disease. Because it was rich from oil and gas exports, its production and farming was neglected. Now that is destroying the country.

@alexanderhildermann9761 So, why are the prices of staples rising in Russia? Why is it so difficult for Russians to get butter or eggs? I think it is you who needs to check your knowledge. Russia still produces some things that the government prioritized, but it depends on imports for far too many things.

"Brexit ... not connected to Russia" That is not true, there was a MASSIVE disinformation campaign by Russian bot farms and planned by Russian operative prior to the Brexit referendum. 2016 was the first time that it became obvious that the Russians were interfering with western democratic processes, and Brexit + the Trump presidency were the result. Also, there are many indications the UK Conservative Party is compromised by Russian oligarchs -- to the point that one of them has been made a Peer in the House of Lords. The main goal for Brexit was to turn the UK into a safe haven for the oligarchs' black money. But the weird thing is that still Boris Johnson was so enthusiastic in his support for Ukraine. So it isn't quite as black-and-white as I stated, the Tories are not (yet) totally subservient to Putin like the Republicans are in the USA. Perhaps that can be a sign that the Russian oligarchs would like this war to stop, which makes total sense.
