Putin Under Huge Pressure to Make 'Grave Mistake'. 110,000 Z-Soldiers in Key City - The Russian Dude

[TexasTowelie]

Putin is facing unprecedented pressure to declare a full-scale war as Russia’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine drags into its fourth year. Despite over a million casualties, economic collapse, and nightly drone strikes, the Kremlin still hides behind the term “special military operation.” But with 110,000 Russian troops now closing in on the strategic city of Pokrovsk, that narrative is unraveling fast. In this video, we explore the internal chaos in Moscow, the economic and political nightmare a formal war declaration would unleash, and the decaying state of Russia’s military machine.

We break down why Putin fears using the word “war,” how a real declaration could trigger full mobilization, rationing, economic collapse, and ultimately destroy the illusion of stability he’s sold for two decades. As sanctions bite and war spending soars, Russia’s economy is duct-taped together with ghost town factories and propaganda. Meanwhile, Moscow’s recruitment strategy has become a grim human slot machine—using bribes, threats, and desperation to fill trenches with poorly trained men. Morale is crumbling, desertion is rising, and the myth of a “volunteer army” is falling apart.

At the heart of it all lies Pokrovsk—a city Putin seems desperate to conquer at any cost. With nearly twice the city’s original population in Russian soldiers headed its way, it’s clear the Kremlin wants a symbolic win for state TV. But the battlefield tells a different story: failed assaults, wrecked tanks, drone ambushes, and fierce Ukrainian resistance. As Russia bleeds for every inch of land, the question looms—will Putin make the grave mistake of declaring war to justify the losses, or keep up the fiction while his empire collapses from within?

This is your in-depth look at the real state of the Russian invasion, the Kremlin’s fear of the truth, and the dangerous crossroads Putin is now facing. Perfect for anyone following the Russia-Ukraine war, geopolitical news, Russian military analysis, or Vladimir Putin's strategy in Ukraine.
