Russian military circles are calling on the Kremlin to make peace — ISW
Successful attacks by Ukrainian forces on strategic targets deep within Russian territory have sparked a wave of panic among Russian ultra-nationalists.
The aggressor’s military analysts are increasingly acknowledging Ukraine’s technological superiority and the inability of Russian air defense to protect critical infrastructure from constant strikes.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) note that anxiety is growing in the occupiers’ information space due to the disparity in economic resources.
One of Russia’s prominent political commentators openly stated that the West’s economic potential is “orders of magnitude” greater than Russia’s.
Because of this, Moscow is unable to produce a sufficient number of interceptor missiles.
Russian experts state that the country is “doomed to defeat” and is forced to immediately “resolve the issue of ending the war,” as it is unable to compete with the might of the Western defense industry.
The enemy is particularly concerned about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ ability to rapidly adapt unmanned systems.
Russian military bloggers acknowledge that Ukrainian troops “surpass” the Russians in their ability to adapt technologically, which has already led to a shift in the situation on the front lines.
“Quite successful” Ukrainian counterattacks have already undermined Russia’s ability to continue its offensive in 2026.
Propagandists complain about the slow response of their military leadership, which is unable to keep up with the emergence of new Ukrainian interceptor drones that are effectively paralyzing the actions of the occupying forces.
As a reminder, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a Russian explosives factory with “Flamingo” missiles.
Drones also struck industrial facilities in the Samara region and Yaroslavl.
