Russian President Vladimir Putin is facing increasing difficulties militarily, economically, and politically amid the protracted war in Ukraine.
Modern.az reports that this was stated in an analysis by Bloomberg agency.
The article notes that the Ukrainian army's strikes deep into Russian territory with drones and missiles create additional risks for Moscow.
It is reported that attacks on oil refining infrastructure have led to fuel shortages, price increases, and export restrictions.
According to Bloomberg's analysis, the Russian economy is also facing increasing pressure. High inflation, expensive credit, labor shortages, and slowing economic growth are affecting the sustainability of the military economy.
The agency emphasizes that the Kremlin has so far failed to achieve a peace agreement in its interests, and the negotiation process has effectively reached a stalemate.
The article also notes that amid the protracted war, economic difficulties, and attacks on Russian territory, there is a decrease in public support and trust ratings for Vladimir Putin.
Bloomberg believes that while the Kremlin maintains control over the political system, the war is gradually increasing military, economic, and domestic political costs for Russia.
