I don't buy it. Not with drone alerts reaching friggin Perm. Weren't you yourself saying the war would end after the failed "counteroffensive"?

I was, but the fact that Russia isn't doing big offensives doesn't mean they're struggling either. I expected there was a good chance the AFU could collapse, but they held things together. And drone warfare now makes it much more costly to do large scale offensives, so it settled into attrition. Now that the war in Iran has started, there's going to be far less attention put towards Ukraine as well. Which is a good reason for Russia to provide aid to Iran all of itself.
