Summary
Putin’s iron grip is cracking under Ukraine’s relentless drone strikes, forcing Russia to defend its own soil while fuel shortages and economic strain mount at home. Once confident of a swift victory, Moscow now faces a grinding war of attrition, with Ukraine expanding its reach deep into Russian territory and Russia running low on key air defenses. Putin’s refusal to halt long-range strikes signals his determination to keep fighting, even as his own political future hangs in the balance. Analysts who predicted quick Russian wins are wrong — Ukraine’s resilience is reshaping the conflict, and with victory slipping away, Putin may be tempted to escalate rather than negotiate, making the coming months dangerously unpredictable.
