I wonder if Putin knows he's terminally ill and is just burning it all down because he's a madman.

Brain tumor? Pancreatic cancer? (Why not both?)

There is certainly a factor of ego at play, but the more obvious reason is that Russia will fail both economically and strategically if Ukraine integrates with Europe, and the demography of Russia won't allow them to fight a human war within the decade.
