Why Russia’s “Resilience” Is Starting to Crack | Vlad Vexler

Описание: Something deeper is breaking inside Russia’s economy — and this time, it’s not just about sanctions or oil prices. Years of corruption, war spending, and isolation have left the Kremlin fighting on two fronts: the battlefield abroad, and the slow implosion of its own system at home.

What looks like resilience is really exhaustion. The so-called “war economy” that once kept Putin afloat is now a trap — sustained by fear, repression, and short-term fixes that can’t last. Meanwhile, Ukraine, despite its own devastation, remains propped up by Western aid and international investment — giving it the one advantage that Putin can’t buy: time.

So in this video, Vlad Vexler joins me to break down how Russia’s economic disillusionment is quietly eroding the regime’s stability, why hardship won’t automatically trigger revolt, and why the real question isn’t whether Russia’s economy is weak — but whether Ukraine can outlast it.
