Moscow Panic As It Loses Its Last Leverage - Jason Jay Smart

Putin is trying to pressure Europe with gas; it’s his last tool of influence. But Europe’s dependence on Russian gas has already dropped significantly, making these threats look more like bluffs than real power.

At the same time, Ukraine is targeting the systems that keep Russia’s war machine alive, ports, shipping, and energy logistics. When exports get disrupted, the Kremlin loses money, and when the money drops, the war effort and internal control both start to wobble.

Then the domestic pressure hits: manpower shortfalls, draft fear, and a regime that needs force at home as much as it needs soldiers at the front. This video ties those threads together so you can see what Moscow is trying to hide.
