Russia Just Crossed the Threshold of Total Overstretch - Jason Jay Smart

[2naSalit]

Putin claims victory is inevitable, yet Russia is importing gasoline, losing cash from its banks, and watching Ukrainian strikes reach deeper into territory Moscow once believed was beyond attack. Russian officials claim nearly 64,000 drones were shot down in six months, but enough are still reaching refineries, fuel networks, airfields, and rear infrastructure to expose the pressure building inside Russia.

Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries are turning gasoline into a military, economic, and political problem for the Kremlin. A country built around energy exports now needs outside supplies while shortages spread, transport costs rise, and the army depends on diesel, rail, air defense, and supply routes that are under growing pressure.

Russia’s battlefield problems now connect directly to the strain at home, with Donetsk failing to deliver Putin’s promised victory and Crimea facing renewed pressure on airfields, bridges, ferries, and supply routes. Ukraine is forcing Moscow to spend more for smaller results while the war Putin launched against Ukraine creates costs inside Russia that the Kremlin can no longer hide.
