Silent shifts inside Russia hint at growing unease over Ukraine war
"Strikes are becoming larger, more complex, and more deliberate in their messaging. Targets are not always purely military; historic centres and infrastructure hubs are increasingly part of the calculus, designed to resonate beyond Ukraine's borders."
"This is a war that was meant to last three days, but is now deep into its fourth year with Russian losses estimated at over 1.2 million killed and wounded, a staggering cost for a campaign that has failed to achieve its original objectives."
"Despite the scale of the conflict, global attention is shifting. Humanitarian organisations struggle to maintain consistent visibility, while political narratives elsewhere absorb the oxygen, Iran and Trump dominating the news feeds."
"From the outside, the Kremlin's control can appear absolute, but clearly that's not the case. Since 2022, the Russian state has systematized its approach, revealing cracks in its facade."
Russia's campaign of strikes in Ukraine has escalated, targeting civilian areas and symbolic sites. The conflict, initially expected to last three days, has extended into its fourth year, with significant Russian casualties. Ukraine faces severe humanitarian consequences, including millions displaced and ongoing investigations into war crimes. Despite the conflict's scale, global attention is shifting, with other political narratives overshadowing the situation. Inside Russia, signs of desperation are emerging, indicating that the Kremlin's control may not be as absolute as it appears.
