The Main Consequences of the War for Russia on the Eve of the New Year 2025 Angela Figin

The so-called special military operation, which Russia has been conducting for the third year, has driven the Putin regime into a trap. It has even come to the point that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin cannot safely remain on the territory of his own country.

World chess champion Garry Kasparov told Channel 24 about this. He summed up Russia's key “achievements” in the war against Ukraine in 2024.

Results of the war for Russians in 2024

In general, the results of the bloody three-year “svo” for Russia do not look very optimistic. Jet drones and missiles regularly fly over Russian territory. The Russian army suffers huge losses among personnel and equipment.

At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have controlled part of the Kursk region for more than 4 months. Recently, a Russian general was killed in the center of Moscow, and the economy of the aggressor country is also at rock bottom.

I recently read that Putin planned to record a New Year's address from Kursk, but had to cancel because it was dangerous. That is, the security service believes that it is dangerous for the Russian president to record a New Year's address in one of the Russian cities. Here you have the result of three years of tragic history, – said Kasparov.

At the same time, Russian society accepts the war. The percentage of people who opposed it for moral and ethical reasons never exceeded 15%. Now this figure has dropped even more.

Today, we have no reason to believe that any preconditions for a change of power will mature in Russia. For now, the war is beneficial to ordinary Russians. However, various scenarios are possible if the situation worsens, the world chess champion noted.

According to him, the discomfort in Russia is growing, but it is too early to say that it can lead to serious changes, because Putin still manages to maintain the level of domestic prosperity, primarily in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

However, Vladimir Putin acknowledged that the situation with lending in Russia is extremely difficult. The story of the bankruptcy of construction and transport companies is only gaining momentum. It is highly likely that only large construction companies will be able to survive in 2025, while small ones will fall apart.
