Can anyone provide evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin has stolen $200 billion from Russia? All that I can find are unsubstantiated claims. It wasn’t supported by the “Pandora Papers”, for example, although the wealth of some in Putin’s inner circle was documented by them.

It’s unlikely that Putin corruptly enriched his inner circle without having corruptly enriched himself.
How much do you need in your own name if the state itself is yours?
It’s like asking where does Russia’s National interests end and Putin personal interests begin?
Agree with curious. The question assumes a context that likely doesn’t exist.
The accusation is fatuous, and obviously so.
The accusers are confusing the motivations of our Ruling Class with those of the Russian Ruling Class, which are nationalistic and patriotic.
I file this under the “Putin’s Gonna Use Chemical Weapons” category. Though in fairness, some consider money spent on things other than their pet projects Robbery
