Systematic destruction of the enemy’s logistics, energy, and the military-industrial complex forces it to pay an unbearable price for the war. When strategic enterprises in the very capital break down, it significantly accelerates economic and resource shortages in Russia.
​​The main factors that support this scenario:
​​Scaling up its own MIC: The regularity of strikes with heavy missiles and long-range drones deprives the enemy of a deep rear.
​​Cumulative effect on the economy: Systematic loss of oil refining and fuel depots directly affects the logistics of the Russian army and the civilian sector.
​​Bargaining position: The enemy’s complete lack of a sense of security in Moscow is one of the strongest levers to make the Kremlin take Ukraine’s terms into account.
​​If this trend persists and intensifies by winter, Russia will face a harsh choice between internal collapse and a forced halt to hostilities on terms acceptable to Ukraine.
