It's tangential to the war in Ukraine. Russia has been accused recently of reporting false economic numbers to hide the war's impact.
Agreed, Putin is worried about support at home and also needs people abroad to think Russia is strong and can continue the Kremlin's barbaric war. The economist didn't want to cook the books like Putin suggested, so they were murdered.
