Z-blogger Kalashnikov acknowledged the Russian Federation's defeat in the war.

Russian Z-blogger Maksim Kalashnikov reported a sharp deterioration in Russia’s position in the war against Ukraine. The country’s economy has begun to collapse due to the protracted war and attacks by Ukraine.

Kalashnikov published a post on this topic on July 15 on his Telegram channel. He complained that the fuel crisis is hitting Russia’s entire economy. Freight transportation costs in the country have skyrocketed, and this increase has already reached a historic high. Occupied Crimea is completely isolated; there is practically no fuel there.

Overall, according to Kalashnikov, “a transport blockade is clearly evident” across all Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia.

“The Russian Federation’s leadership is shamelessly dragging its feet, while the enemy acts swiftly… The Russian leadership is at war with gas stations. The outcome, in my opinion, is absolutely clear,” Kalashnikov wrote.
He noted that Russia is rapidly heading toward “prolonging the war and an economic collapse.”

Earlier, the former leader of the “DPR” terrorists Igor Strelkov (Girkin) stated that a catastrophe awaits Russia.
