Crimea Could Be The Battle That Finally Brings Putin Down

Three years after Yevgeny Prigozhin's failed mutiny, the man who briefly came closest to toppling Vladimir Putin is long dead. But the question he exposed remains unanswered: can Russia actually win the war in Ukraine?

According to this view, the answer is increasingly no.

Russia's losses are becoming impossible to ignore

Prigozhin openly accused the Kremlin of misleading the Russian people about the war and argued that Moscow had no realistic path to victory. While his rebellion ended in failure, Russia's battlefield situation has continued to deteriorate.

Russian casualties have reportedly soared from around 223,000 at the time of Prigozhin's uprising to almost 1.4 million today. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte recently claimed Russia is losing as many as 35,000 troops every month while spending roughly half of its national budget on the military.

Such losses are placing enormous pressure on both Russia's armed forces and its economy.

Yes, all sad for the Russian people ... but they have noone to blame except themselves.

Just like every other country with appalling leadership (I'm thinking Usofa but there's an indefinite number of others). If The People don't rise up to rid themselves of evil, incompetent & corrupt governments, then they must wear the longterm consequences.
