Ukrainian Armed Forces Reserve Major General Volodymyr Havrylov stated this on Espreso TV."It's obvious that Russia is on the brink of collapse. And this moment can be accelerated by constant strikes against the enemy on the ground. Not through advances by Ukraine's Defense Forces—that is, offensive operations where we could lose many people—but specifically by inflicting losses on the Russians so they feel it and know it cannot be stopped. This reality cannot be stopped by propaganda, because reports of people's deaths are heard every day in villages and towns across the Russian Federation," Havrylov said.According to the general, since 2014, the Russians have demonstrated creativity and managed to sustain their economy under sanctions. However, there is always a limit to what can be done, and the collapse of their economy is inevitable."Sooner or later, Russia's enormous losses at the front and sanctions against their economy will produce results. When? I would like to see statistics on their economic situation based on the results of 2025. As soon as we see the 7 trillion ruble deficit that experts have predicted, that's it. That will mean the end. How long this entire collapse of their economy will take is hard to say. They are indeed very creative at surviving within their country, as they've been doing this for almost 10 years. However, there is always a limit to what can be done," he added.
