Economy is absolutely crucial for Russia to fight their war against Ukraine. Here Puck Nielsen describes what Russia is really up against.
But on the flip side, this also means Ukraine is 100% dependent on allies to help them to have a chance to win in the long run.
Without aid Ukraine only has a sixth the economic power of Russia to wage war.
This is also why Russia is desperate to stop US aid, and traitor Johnson is helping Putin every day that help is delayed.

Yes Russia use all means at their disposal, with little regard for legality or human suffering. But these articles are from before Prigozhin died. So I'm not quite sure how it is relevant now?

He's a good presenter. None of that editing every 3 seconds we usually see on YT. I'll be watching.more.of his videos.

More like; "Is Hungary's Orban and the US senate Republicans obstruction worse than Chineese indifference and caution to Russia?"

Both sides would be done fighting if it was just Ukraine and Russia supplying arms and men.

Yes that's a Russian talking point! And then there would not be a Ukraine anymore, a democracy that was illegally and baselessly invaded, and we are trying to help protect themselves.
