Expert: Ukraine's drone advantage and Russian economic crisis may decide war outcome (euobserver.com)

• Ukrainian drone strikes disabled seven major refineries, 30% of Russian capacity.
• Fuel rationing in 53 of 88 regions; economic growth near zero.
• Oil revenues down 45%; state deficit at 6 trillion rubles in five months.
• Putin approval below 30%, data publication banned.
• Duleba: Outcome determined by economic crisis, not front lines.

"Slovak foreign policy expert Alexander Duleba argues that Ukraine has gained a technological edge through AI-driven drones, enabling strikes deep inside Russia. Attacks on refineries have caused fuel shortages and a deepening economic crisis in Russia. Oil revenues have fallen 45%, the state deficit is soaring, and the war's outcome now hinges on economic sustainability rather than front-line battles."
