Moscow Safe Zone Broke: Russia Wide Open - Jason Jay Smart



Russia just hit zero. The safe rear is officially gone, and the Kremlin has physically ran out of the fuel, money, and logistics needed to continue the war. This is not a stalemate; it is a mathematical collapse of the Russian economy and military machine. We are now witnessing the final phase of the conflict, where deep strikes on critical infrastructure, specifically the burning Novoshakhtinsk refinery and the offline Orenburg gas plant, prove that Moscow has lost the physical capacity to defend its own territory.

The leaked reality Putin is hiding is that liquid cash reserves have dropped to just $54.21 billion, signaling that state bankruptcy is imminent. Crucially, Russia cannot repair these facilities because sanctions have blocked the specific foreign-certified components required to fix them. As a result, the damage is permanent.

The dilemma is now fatal: Putin must either abandon the front to protect the rear, or let the energy grid burn to hold the line. He cannot do both. With the logistics broken, the fuel network cut, and the financial buffer gone, the war machine is bankrupt. This video exposes the hard data confirming that the end of the war is visible. The sanctuary phase is dead, and the collapse is here.
