CIA chief says Russia's failures in the Ukraine war have sealed its fate as 'China's economic vassal'

• The Russia-Ukraine war has dealt multiple setbacks to Vladimir Putin, the director of the CIA says. 
• William J. Burns said in an op-ed that the war had "proved foolish and illusory" for Putin.
• The invasion, Burns said, had weakened Russia's military and economy.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has crippled its economy and left it beholden to China, says William J. Burns, the director of the CIA.
