Russia Was Supposed to Win This War by Now — Instead, It's Falling Apart

Russia has now spent three and a half years and over one million casualties fighting in Ukraine — and in that entire time, it has managed to seize less additional territory than the area of Los Angeles County. In April 2026, Russian forces suffered their first net territorial loss since the Ukrainian counteroffensives of 2023. In May, they lost more ground again. Meanwhile, Russia's monthly casualty rate has climbed to 35,000 — a pace that now outstrips the Kremlin's ability to find replacements. Swedish government analysts, measuring Russia's nighttime luminosity rather than accepting official data, concluded the Russian economy contracted by 8% between 2020 and 2024, even as Moscow claimed 13% growth. Real inflation is estimated at three times the official figure. Ukraine has struck at least 21 Russian oil refineries and export terminals in a single month, driving refinery output to its lowest level since 2009. The Starlink terminals Russia's military was using illegally in occupied Ukraine have been deactivated. Hungary's pro-Kremlin prime minister lost his election. The EU's 90-billion-euro loan to Ukraine is now unlocked. And Ukraine's intermediate-range drone production is five times higher than it was a year ago, systematically destroying Russian logistics across the entire southern front. This video breaks down precisely why Russia is losing, why it cannot stop losing, and what options remain for a Kremlin that is running out of all of them. 🔔 Don’t forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on notifications for the deepest military analysis on YouTube.
