Considering Putin bought the Kalashnikov company by proxy right before launching full invasion i'd guess it's to funnel even more money into their own pockets at the costs of their own people and their Ukrainian brothers. That's unless you believe the official story that he just found a briefcase under his bed one morning and a contract to buy the shares for the exact sum.
Why also explains why he doesnt want peace, it's just too goddamn profitable turning his nations future into fertilizer.
