Andrew Rasiulis, Russian Economy and War of Attrition
Canadian defense analyst Andrew Rasiulis explained that the US has adopted the Russian position that peace negotiations must precede a ceasefire. He noted that both sides are betting on the other's economic or military exhaustion by 2026. Despite Western sanctions, the Russian economy has remained resilient by pivoting trade to India and China and developing internal industries for consumer goods.
