Currently, Russia faces a bit of a problem. Western nations have taken to supplying the former Ukraine with missiles, drones and components for their manufacture. The US is also involved: the former Ukraine receives targeting information from Palantir and uses Starlink satellite communications. This by no means qualifies as an existential threat but it does pose a political problem for Russia's leaders.
By "the former Ukraine" I mean what's left of the former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, as crafted by Lenin and Stalin out of random bits of the Russian Empire, then let loose by "drunk president" Boris Yeltsin. Since then it has lost half of its population (the younger and more capable half), virtually all of its once mighty industry, and is now a shadow of its former self. It has a very high death rate and a very low birth rate and is undergoing rapid demographic collapse. Its one remaining use (for the West) is to annoy Russia. It is the one and only category in which the former Ukraine remains a success.

If Russia wants to "win" then nukes should not be the main weapon, which can be used for certain targets if the military deems it necessary. The main weapon should be propaganda, which the russians are not good at. The fact is that the West is declining fast while Russia and China are growing economically. The gap between reality and fantasy here in Estonia is getting bigger all the time. We are told that Russia is going to collapse any time now but reality is something different and people are getting really angry now with giving money to Ukraine while poverty is increasing. People are far less enthusiastic here with project Ukraine than 4 years ago. So russians should become better at showing the reality in Russia and that russians are generally friendly and want to get along with Europe.

Rando, "if Russia wants to win", its "main weapon should be propaganda, which the Russians are not good at"? I am sorry, but this makes no sense at all. Maybe it makes sense in Estonian, in which case, that's really too bad.
