Russia is unable to achieve a strategic breakthrough on the front, while Ukrainian drones are destroying the oil foundation of the Russian economy.

Due to the total dominance of drones in the sky, a strategic stalemate has emerged on the front, where neither side can achieve significant success. And since the Russian army is trying to actively attack, it is they who suffer the most losses. This is how the situation on the front is characterized in the Russian Z-community.

Former head of Roskomos and now senator Dmitry Rogozin, who supposedly commands a unit of the Russian army, expressed the opinion that both armies have reached parity in forces and means, which makes a strategically successful offensive impossible. He stated that equipment and infantry are being destroyed already 20 km from the front line.

“This is where the impasse lies, in what the problem of positional warfare lies. That is, the forces are approximately equal in terms of equipment, preparedness, even motivation,” Rogozin said in an interview with Russian propagandists.

One of the founders of the terrorist group “DPR” Pavlo Gubarev reacted to Rogozin’s statement. In his Telegram channel, he emphasized that in the conditions described by Rogozin, it is the Russian army that is attacking, while the Armed Forces of Ukraine are defending themselves.

“Thus, we are suffering incomparably greater losses. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are quite satisfied with this situation, so Ukrainians do not need any peace, everything suits them. And taking into account the effective work at key refineries (26% of capacities were destroyed), the current situation is strategically advantageous for them,” he wrote.

Gubarev criticized the Russian propaganda machine, which “continues to mislead society” with fables that the Russian occupiers are “grinding” the Armed Forces of Ukraine and that Ukraine is already on the verge of defeat.

“While the situation is a stalemate and is actually a defeat for [Russia]. There is no possibility of ending the SVO with a victory while preserving the colonial system of power in Russia!” wrote a former associate of Igor Girkin-Strelkov.
