🚨🇷🇺 Even one of the ideological supporters of Russia’s invasion is now warning that Moscow may be burning through manpower, money and time for increasingly marginal battlefield gains.

Russian Z-blogger and writer Yevgeny Norin says Russia has already exhausted much of the resource base needed to continue fighting at the current pace, while serious economic problems are mounting. He argues that the so-called “special military operation” should be stopped and claims the loss ratio has reached 1:8 in Ukraine’s favor. Norin also questions what Russia is still trying to achieve, saying mobilized troops are often trained and equipped only “on paper” before being sent into battles where Ukrainian forces are already prepared for them.

🔥 His warning cuts directly into Moscow’s long-war strategy. If taking Sloviansk and Kramatorsk could still require years at the current tempo, then Russia is trading enormous human, financial and economic resources for shrinking operational returns. The danger for the Kremlin is no longer just battlefield stagnation, but strategic exhaustion if the war continues consuming more than the state can sustainably replace.
