Spy Chief: Russia’s War Machine Is Draining, Time Favors Ukraine
According to Estonia’s intelligence chief, Russian President Vladimir Putin may lose his negotiation leverage within months due to significant pressures. Russia is experiencing unsustainable troop losses, with daily casualties far exceeding recruitment capabilities, and even minimal territorial advances have stalled. Compounding these military challenges, economic hardship, stemming from international sanctions and Ukrainian attacks on its energy sector, has forced Russia to significantly cut its growth forecast, indicating a weakening of its overall position.
