Expert: One Ukrainian decision could cause Russia's collapse within six months

A single strategic decision by Ukraine could precipitate the collapse of Russia within a six-month timeframe, according to an expert cited by Delfi Latvia. This assertion comes amid reports of significant Ukrainian successes in disrupting Russian naval capabilities.

Ukrainian forces, specifically the Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) operating under the call sign "Maģārs" (Magyar), announced on July 14 that their "Birds" had destroyed 116 ships in the Sea of Azov over a nine-day period. This operation is described as part of a broader Ukrainian strategy.

However, the expert interviewed by Delfi suggests that while these drone operations are effective, Ukraine should adopt additional tactics that would inflict more significant pain on Russia. The nature of this proposed more impactful strategy is not detailed, but it implies a need for escalation or a shift in approach to hasten a Russian collapse. The commentary underscores the ongoing psychological and strategic warfare between Ukraine and Russia, with external analysts weighing in on potential turning points.
