A Kyiv political scientist who predicted Russia's imminent collapse: "The Russians have begun to realize their advantage."
The depletion of Western air defense missiles and the latest Russian drones have tipped the scales in Russia's favor.
Kyiv political scientist Yuriy Romanenko, who has been placed on Russia's wanted list, announced this in his video blog, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"By the end of August, Russia had already begun to capitalize on its newly acquired advantage. This is directly related to the depletion of anti-missile defenses in the Western bloc, which supplied us with missiles for the Patriots, and the emergence of new devices in Russia. These include jet drones and "Panderoli" drones, which are a combination of a missile and a drone that can carry up to 150 kg of explosives, which is quite a lot, and is maneuverable and flies at low altitudes," Romanenko said.
According to him, Russia is using the opportunities that have opened up “systematically against the backdrop of three Ukrainian holes.”
"This is a hole in the air defense system, a $27 billion hole in the budget, as Zelenskyy mentioned. And a hole in our diplomatic agency, because we see negotiations going on above our heads..."
I'm referring to Ratcliffe's visit, which took place just a few days ago, the head of the CIA, who met with Putin and held talks on August 25. And this happened for the first time since his appointment.
"And, basically, this is probably the first time since the war began, because the last time Blinken visited was in 21, when he went there under the Democrats. This immediately gave rise to a ton of insinuations about what they were talking about," Romanenko concluded with a sigh.
It's noteworthy that just a couple of months ago, when a series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian marketplaces and Crimean logistics began, Romanenko effectively predicted Russia's collapse in the near future.
