Summary
Putin’s iron grip is cracking under Ukraine’s relentless drone and missile strikes, which are crippling Russia’s energy infrastructure and forcing Moscow to divert resources from the battlefield. Once dismissive, he now admits these attacks are causing real damage — a rare admission that signals growing strain. With Russia running low on key defense systems like the S-300 and rejecting Ukraine’s ceasefire proposal, the war’s stalemate is accelerating battlefield losses and domestic unrest. Crimea’s fuel shortages and mounting public frustration reveal the human cost, hinting that prolonged conflict may finally erode the Kremlin’s control from within.
