“For some time now it has seemed that the frontlines in the war between Russia and Ukraine have been stuck where they are. Neither side is making much progress in either taking or re-taking land. Such thinking invites a mentality that, if the war is stuck where it is, better to sue for some kind of peace, any kind of peace, than to continue the fighting. But keen observers of the war are noticing that the frontlines have not actually frozen; they have shifted significantly, right into the heart of Russia itself.
Where Ukraine has excelled has not only been in heroism and sheer tenacity, but also in ingenuity and innovation. The results of this are now being seen across Russia, as far as the Ural Mountains. A key to the recent most explosive events in this war has been Ukraine’s domestic development of drones and other long-range fire technologies.
Ukraine has developed a strategy to end this war on its own terms. That strategy depends on collapsing the Russian economy. With no income, and the state’s Sovereign Wealth Fund being depleted and bullion being sold off, Russia will no longer be able to finance the continuation of the war they started.
