       🤡 Putin is trying to impose on the world a sense of inevitability of Ukraine's defeat, — FT📍Putin is actively promoting a narrative of an allegedly close victory in the war, claiming that Russia has overcome sanctions and seized the strategic initiative at the front.📍The Kremlin is betting on creating a sense of "historical doom" of democracies in a global confrontation with the West.📍Moscow is broadcasting a story where the war has gone far beyond the borders of Ukraine.

       @MAKS23 Russia is desperate and tries to gaslight. The oil price fell, the wealth fund shrank, the gold reserve disappeared... Meanwhile Pokrovsk remains out of reach and Zelensky visits the retaken Kupiansk. All the money invested in the defense at the expense of education and infrastructures will bite back hard. The Russians will pay this mistake for at least a generation and they deserve it.https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2026/feb/06/the-russian-economy-is-finally-stagnating-what-does-it-mean-for-the-war-and-for-putin
