This warning was given by First Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Serhiy Kislitsia, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to him, despite heavy losses, Moscow still has enough resources to continue hostilities. ### The cost of war and system resilience Kislitsia emphasized that an objective assessment of reality shows that Russia will not be able to win this conflict. However, the price Vladimir Putin is paying remains high β€” more than 30,000 casualties and wounded per month. "Sure, you can "bristle" and pretend that it doesn't matter to you, but it will accumulate, accumulate with every month," the official noted. Economic problems in Russia will also accumulate, but for now, the aggressor state retains the ability to supply its troops with weapons and ammunition. Kislitsia linked this to the historical specifics of the state, rooted in the Soviet and even Tsarist systems, where the lives of ordinary citizens were often devalued. ### Redistribution of property and business pressure In the opinion of the First Deputy Head of the Office of the President, processes of property redistribution will begin in Russia in the near future. The authorities will seize assets and money not only from those who have left the country but also from operating businesses. "Just look at what is happening with people close to Rotenberg," Kislitsia pointed out, emphasizing that the hope for a sudden economic collapse of Moscow is illusory. He also added that Ukraine is unlikely to have the resources to wait for the Russian economy to collapse on its own. This is too distant a prospect to build a strategy upon. ### Context: negotiations and international reaction Earlier, Serhiy Kislitsia revealed details of the meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former US President Donald Trump. He also recounted how Putin's aide at peace talks mentioned "Turkish and Swedish wars" as historical precedents. Meanwhile, Donald Trump made a new controversial statement about Ukraine and Russia during the NATO summit, which once again intensified the debate surrounding the future of the conflict.
