Russia Is Descending Into Chaos

The Economist: “Mr Putin’s war is turning Russia into a failed state, with uncontrolled borders, private military formations, a fleeing population, moral decay and the possibility of civil conflict. And though confidence among Western leaders in Ukraine’s ability to withstand Mr Putin’s terror has gone up, there is growing concern about Russia’s own ability to survive the war. It could become ungovernable and descend into chaos.”

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports that Russia’s munitions shortage raise questions of how long it can continue the war in Ukraine.
