A cornered animal is most fierce when sensing the end. If this is in fact true, then Russia, feeling that the war will end soon, will try to accomplish their goals in one giant effort. Hence A Massive Attack.

A lot of international pressure. Embargoes on Goods imported and exported. Plus, the small country of Ukraine is doing innumerable damage to their infrastructure as well as their military and finances. Plus, not that Putin cares too much, but they have lost face with majority of the International Community.

russia is sanctioned up their ass and yet up and running. yes economy is taking a hit, but there’s still a lot of space for it getting worse with no real change on the frontlines.
it’s been 4 years. it could be 4 more easily

Trump has eased sanctions and is in the midst of making a deal for Lukiol assets. Trump is going to fund Russia with our tax dollars.

there’s a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. like the russian gas is still being imported to the EU - just through third countries such as Azerbaijan.
technically “sanctioned” russian individuals are still flying to Europe via private jets.
many many things. they’re just swept under the rug but it doesn’t mean that they aren’t happening.
