    Typically, if the Kremlin says something, you consider the opposite true.

    • Armour: severe shortage, soldiers often attacking in unprotected vehicles.
    • Personnel: being outsourced from North Korea.
    • Air defense: cannot hold back a drone swarm or decent missile.
    • Rapid reserves: enough to keep Bashar al-Assad ruling Syria. Oops.
    • Losses: 600 000 dumbest ones dead or wounded, 2 million smartest ones in emigration, paying taxes to some other land.
    • Economy: interest rates over 20%, insolvencies widespread, butter sold from locked fridges.

    …I can totally see them continue for a while, but not a long while. And the breaking point isn’t linked at all to Putin’s goals.
