Ukraine, according to Vadim Maslikov, a UAV expert from the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, has effectively exhausted its resources for a prolonged struggle. In a comment to Tsargrad, he said demographic losses had become the decisive factor for Kiev.

Maslikov believes that Ukraine has reached a state in which further long-term confrontation is becoming impossible. According to him, annual personnel losses amount to hundreds of thousands of people, while total losses have already exceeded one million. He separately pointed to the millions of citizens who have left for Europe, which further reduces the country’s mobilization and demographic resources.

The expert described Ukraine’s current condition as agony and concluded that, according to a whole range of factors, it has already exhausted itself.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported the largest Ukrainian drone attack since the start of the special military operation. Military observer Vlad Shlepchenko noted that the main concentration of strikes fell on St. Petersburg and its suburbs.
