Yes, Russia suffered a strategic setback, suffered significant losses, but not catastrophic.Even if we take into account tanks, Russia still has a lot of them. Russia still has strong aviation and artillery, and to say ahead of time that Russia lost this war is stupid. And many local "experts" wrote that the Russian economy is already in full ass and there is no sugar in Russia, and prices have soared, and unemployment. Yes, Russia is certainly losing in the information field to the West, partly thanks to the authorities who closed the curtain, but perhaps this is partly the right decision that will save the immature brain from Western propaganda. Russia still hasn't lost this war and has suffered less damage than Ukraine. Life in Ukraine has practically stopped, so the longer the war continues, the weaker Ukraine will be, not Russia.
On March 31, Reuters reported that the adviser to the President of Ukraine, Aleksey Arestovich, said that “they practically destroyed our defense industry."
https://finance .yahoo.com/news/russia-destroyed-most-ukraines-defence-101722366.html Ukraine ranked 12th among the world's arms exporters in 2019, and about 1 million people are employed in this industry (compared to 2.7 million in 1991). We never hear about it in the Western media, but it is important, because if this is the only result of the war, then Russia has clearly won.
As for the military infrastructure and weapons, it's in the ass. Only Western supplies help.
6 million people have left Ukraine. Ukraine is blocked from the Azov and Black Seas (possibly for a long time).
In addition, Russia's strategy also seems to be bearing fruit, because as long as they keep the fire burning in Europe, oil and gas prices will continue to rise.
Russia has all the oil, gas, grain, fertilizers, steel, aluminum, nickel, coal, vegetable oil. In Euror with these problems.
The only hope for Ukraine is its forces accumulated on the eastern borders, which are on the defensive, Russia is trying to break through from the edges, and when it succeeds, it will be the last chord.
There is another way out - to wait for winter, when Europe itself will force Ukraine to sign a peace treaty with Russia, but some territories will never return to Ukraine. For this, Europe will reward Ukraine with a sweet pill, for example, by joining the European Union
The only calculation was that the Russian economy would collapse after the imposition of sanctions and Russia would collapse from within in the likeness of the 90s with all the ensuing consequences. But the West miscalculated, and Russia withstood this economic blow because it was ready. Now the United States is asking Europe to hold out without Russia for as long as their difficult economic situation allows. When Europe cannot bear this burden, everything will return to normal
despite promoting just that and on a governmental level. Least of the examples is Wagner and their Nazi affiliation especially their leader who is a close friend of Mr Putin.
