... said that Russia will not be able to win a war of attrition against Ukraine backed by the West....
Big unspoken if there.
It is, and it probably means they'll continue their foreign influence operations, even at the expense of money they needed for military operations. Expect a fresh wave of right wing authoritarian politicians to pop up all over the world. It also increases the odds they will do something stupid and dangerous to shake things up.
Let's take a peek ahead:
"Andrei Klepach, Chief Economist at VEB RF bank, mysteriously falls to death from window."
Pretty safe bet when their casualties are 25x Ukraine's. Russia's losses are mind boggling.
No shit
