"According to Vladimir Putin ' s statements, a strategic defeat will lead to Russia's collapse,"
"However, there is no clarification of what is meant by this 'strategic defeat.' The fact that we are isolated and permanent members of the UN Security Council are making statements in support of Ukraine is already our strategic defeat."
"The Kremlin has been touting its latest missile developments, such as the Burevestnik and Poseidon. We cling to the missile Burevestnik and the nuclear torpedo Poseidon like a plaster cast. In reality, the United States will be able to destroy us before these reach their targets, if we even manage to fire them."
"That we advanced somewhere near Pokrovsk is only a tactical success; we have no operational-tactical successes, and at the strategic level we have suffered defeat in every direction,"
Leonid Ivashov, a Russian general, launched a scathing attack on Vladimir Putin, accusing him of provoking a wider conflict and calling for his resignation. Ivashov warned in 2022 that the full-scale war would threaten Russia's existence and now asserts Russia will collapse. He equates strategic defeat with international isolation and backing for Ukraine from UN Security Council members. Ivashov derides Kremlin nuclear rhetoric and reliance on new weapons like Burevestnik and Poseidon, arguing the United States could neutralize those weapons before they reach targets. He describes recent advances such as Pokrovsk as merely tactical and says Russia has suffered strategic defeat across directions. He accuses Moscow of resorting to sending disabled men to the front.
