The Russian-Ukrainian war enters the next stage as Vladimir Putin exhausts all his resources. It is quite possible that the turning point of the war could happen this year.

About this 24 Channel said Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko, noting that the Russian dictator did everything he could, but even threats of nuclear blackmail no longer work.

When a turning point in the war can happen

According to a Russian opposition journalist, the final stage of the war has now begun. However, this does not mean that the war will end in 2024.

I think the chances of this (ending the war – Channel 24) are small. Although it's all so unpredictable. Just as poorly the start of the war was predicted. A lot depends on the degree of Putin’s madness. This is precisely the most unpredictable area, because we are not psychiatrists, we don’t know what state of his psyche he is in and how unexpected things he can do,” Yakovenko said.

Po According to him, a turning point in the war could come this year. However, this directly depends on how well the Western allies fulfill their responsibilities. Unfortunately, there is still a serious delay.

“The same F-16 aircraft, as it turned out, most partners are going to provide only in 2025. This also seriously changes the course of events and reduces optimism. But in general, the vector of the war is clear in which direction it is leaning. I think the end of the war is visible, but definitely not this year,” added the Russian opposition journalist.

What's happening in Russia now

• Vladimir Putin is making major personnel changes. In particular, Sergei Shoigu was dismissed from the post of Minister of Defense of the aggressor country, and Andrei Belousov was appointed in his place. In addition, a considerable number of Defense Ministry officials were detained.
• Because of such personnel “purges,” the dictator fears an uprising. This was probably the reason for his sudden foreign visits. First, the Russian president visited China, where he met with Xi Jinping. After this visit, the British Ministry of Defense announced that the PRC was going to transfer lethal weapons to Russia for the war against Ukraine.
• Putin then flew to Belarus in the middle of the night, apparently to sit out the potential danger, and then I went to Uzbekistan. It is assumed that there he will negotiate arms supplies.
