Speaking about how much longer the Russian Federation will be able to conduct intensive military operations, Budanov noted that our aggressive neighbor still has enough economic stability, and they will feel real problems in 2025.
— There is hope that 2025 will be a turning point regarding internal systemic destructive changes and processes in the Russian state, society and economy. But this is not a forecast, but an expectation. As of now, based on the existing factors, there is a possibility of this,” he concluded.
