Thats a cope. Russia could import food, they could use reserves. 2014 Ukraine dont have a chance.
But with hindsight maybe 2022 sanction strengthened Russia socially. The sanction alone was worth the wait.

A captured Leo 2A6 has been sent to UVZ for research
Ugledar seems to be almost fully under Russian control now
UVZ, NIIStali then Kubinka.
I guess The Russians would particularly be interested in the composites, fire control group, guns and the power pack.
Daym.. no "VUHLEDAR HOLDS"

Russia adopting a powerpack would probably be a massive improvement. Maybe they'll finally add a workable reverse gear.

Uh oh. BRAM overturned.
Russians captured Vishnevoye in the Kharkhiv region.
The Abandonment of Ukraine, writes The Atlantic. The American strategy is slowly bleeding the nation and it's people to death.
I disagree. Change the adverb from slowly to quickly bleeding, and that's a more exact idea what's going on.
The article means that HIMARS, once Ukraine's most popular weapon, is now less than 10% effective due to Russian electronic warfare measures.

Some people have been claimimg Russia will peace out fast given the chance. All signs point to contrary. Russian is willing to give up land for better attrition. Willing to grind slowly to gain land at less casualty. None of these are useful for fast political leverage for negotiation. All aiming for complete destruction of enemy over long terms. Which is to say these are strategy of long haul. Perhaps demilitarize Ukraine was a lie, demilitarize NATO stockpile at favorable condition is the actual aim. If that is the case, war will go on for many years to go. It will not stop at US backing out. It will stop at entire western bloc giving up.
Another strategic goal is attrition of western economy at favorable rate vs Russian. By weakening western economy that insist on poor return financing of Ukrainian state, they will have less money available to attack Russia at more efficient means.
This could explain why Russia is adamant at making the war sustainable, even though intensify investment could yield faster tactical gains. Those gains were never the main goal. The economic attrition between two blocs is the actual battle. A poorer west enhance Russian security over long term. This is more valuable than another piece of Ukrainian turf.
