Economic meltdown inside Putin's Russia - Ukraine's Strategy to Win - Jason Jay Smart



While Ukrainian drones dominate the headlines, the most devastating strikes aren’t coming from the sky. They’re hitting the Kremlin’s wallet. Putin’s real war is being lost economically.

Dr. Jason Jay Smart, a Kyiv Post correspondent with over two decades of expertise on the Russian regime, reveals how Ukraine’s smart warfare strategy is bankrupting Russia.

From collapsing oil revenues to unpaid teachers, and from sabotaged railways to failing banks—this video walks you through the numbers and strategy that could end Putin’s war before a single tank reaches Moscow.

Key topics:
-- Russian oil revenues fall 50%
-- Ukrainian drone strikes shut down rail supply
-- $40 billion budget deficit in 4 months
-- Kremlin burning through National Welfare Fund illegally
-- Russia’s Central Bank under political siege

The collapse is accelerating—and it’s not just economic. It’s political. It’s existential.
