Russia is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel for personnel and is hemorrhaging a massive amount of money. Their industry is in the gutter and their already crumbling infrastructure is being attacked by long-range drones flying completely unbothered for thousands of kilometers every day. They have lost pretty much every relevant partner on the international stage. The only realistic way to end this war on Putin's terms is to pull out from Ukraine and face the Russian population. The other ways are a general mobilization (which will lead to the same result as #1) or waiting for the inevitable collapse (which will, again, lead to the same result as #1). He has painted himself into a corner and there is no way out.
He's dragging it on for as long as he can but the final result will always be the same.
This cannot be real 😭
