Russia doing 'terribly badly' in Ukraine as war economy causes problems for the Kremlin | Robert Fox

"Long term, Russia cannot go on at this level. It's consuming so much of its economy."
Putin's war is going "terribly badly" but Ukraine is showing signs of fatigue and "could crack", claims Defence Editor of the Evening Standard Robert Fox.

    Even if Russia 'wins' in the short term, takes control of Ukraine, there are now generations of Ukrainians that are radicalised and will despise Russia and will demand an independent Ukraine. Putin is an old man and will be dead and gone within a decade. The land of Ukraine is here to stay and no one in Ukraine will forget this invasion for many generations to come.

    Unfortunately the UN was set up with this idea that important nations of the day like the UK and US and France etc... and the USSR would remain forever as important countries. That was short sighted, very short sighted, it worries me so many diplomats and politicians worldwide can be so wrong despite their knowledge... So Russia as a permanent member of the security council can't be removed.

  • @Santisima_Trinidad

    @Santisima_Trinidad

    12 күн бұрын

    Possibly, although from what I've seen, just a commitment of 12 months would probably be enough for Ukraine to grind Russia to a defeat, because as Russias economy is cracking and it's stockpiles grow empty, it'll lose a lot of it's pushing power on the frontlines, esspecially as Ukraine seems to keep chipping away at Russias fleet of glide bomb carrying aircraft (F16s will expedite that massively). After that, Ukraine seems to be on rather solid ground in terms of it's domestic production of stuff like drones, which are effective enough to enable them to hold territory quite well. Combined, if the prediction is accurate (and 18 months is actually on the long end for Russias economy breaking, although it's about on track for running it's stockpiles dry) then Ukraine could probably hold on the remaining 8 months and keep hitting Russias economic stuff during that time. But don't worry, from what I've seen, a lot of Eastern European countries are committed to supplying Ukraine artillery shells for at least 2 years, with production ramping up significantly, which is definitely long enough to grind Russia into giving up all the territory they've stollen.

Why would you want to spend even more money later on and have NATO casualties and sacrifice Ukraine in the process instead of saving money and lives by stopping Russian forces now in Ukraine?

    False. Russia is crushing the Ukrainian military. Ukraine has lost 500,000 dead, Russia less that 80,000. Putin gave them one last chance to negotiate, and it was refused. Now Ukraine will be destroyed and it’s their fault for refusing multiple offers of a peaceful solution by Russia. The next move will be Russia forcing the complete surrender by Ukraine. Russia just passed Japan as the 4th biggest economy in the world and getting stronger. Their military has tripled in size. Russia has always been winning, and now they have won.

    Russia had its first 1917 revolution less than three years into WW1. Maybe the Russian people are not willing to put up with this amount of suffering due to a pointless war for a full three years without revolting. Of course it's true that Russia stayed in WW1 after the first revolution but still the second 1917 revolution indicated that the Russian people really start getting upset when a pointless war goes past three years. Maybe that suggests the possibility of a Russian revolution by late next spring if the war is still going on at that point. Another winter of Russians freezing in the dark in their apartments is not going to make them happy.

    @@a5cent Russia has a male population crisis and this is why Putin is trying to bring in a law for women to have children. 500K soldiers either dead or badly wounded. They will not be having kids, paying tax. This is Russias problem as their reserves are running out. They may not run out of men soon however their economy will be in ruins. When the war is over they will have to pay massive amounts of money to compensate Ukraine. Let’s also not forget that winter is coming and at the rate Russia is loosing refining capacity they are going to suffer somewhat.

    Occupancy is not free. Each time a cost is paid, the governed become either less willing to support or more hostile toward the current regime. Despite two years, Russia has yet to demonstrate a capability to conduct a coherent plan of action able to gain significant territory. Ultimately these cost have already relegated Russia from a first tier power (though they really were not initially). It has destroyed the future of its arms export industry - removed the ability to obtain full market price for resources and decimated an already extremely small demographic cohort. From a pure "power play" perspective, this move was a decade too early, but some leaders want to see results in their lifetime, so here we are. And even if successful, the gain of territory does not materially improve their future, just ensures the seeds of a future civil war because if there was not an Ukrainian identity in the past (which is a false assertion), there is one now as a result of the war. And future occupancy will always come with a fight for a solid decade to come. When a country starts a war it cannot finish - it is indeed going terribly badly.
