The simple answer is, and why paxmao can't understand it is, Russia operates on a completely different system than the West. The things that look like failure for Russia in Western eyes, are really great successes and powerful operations in Russian eyes.
If people don't stop looking at Russia through Western eyes, and start understanding Russia for what it is, they'll be dead before they know that Russia even hit them.
Da, Do you doubt that Nabulina said what those sources say? In your view did Nabiulina say that the Russian Economy is exhausting critical assets that enable the war to continue or not?
Do not hide from this question, it is simple and it is yes or no.
My advice is that you consider how accurate was your previous "analysis" regarding the position of the US before answering this one. You are getting quite a few wrong in a row... such as your best ever "Ukraine will retire from Belgorod in a couple of weeks, it is just a small incursion".
BTW, I never spoke about "collapse" those are YOUR words. I do not think Ruzzia will "collapse", I think that people would leave the country or simply die because they have lost any hope of having a properly governed country ever.
What may perfectly happen that it is unable to continue any form of high-intensity conflict.
Here, have some though material here:

Note that Russia shares quite a long border with several other nations thru Siberia. Russian ambasadors to those other nations can make many deals with those other nations. Until the US or somebody can stop those deals, BRICS will go on to a world split between the West and those other nations.
Since Western money is based on Western banking lies, and on things like inflation and creations of new money that harm their own citizens, the whole thing hangs on the people gradually moving into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
The West, for all their talk, is being beaten by the freedom of their people (who are waking up to the corrupt banking industry) on the one side, and BRICS on the other. Failure of the Western banking system will come about, even if the PEOPLE don't care much for things like Communism and dictatorial leanings of many of the BRICS nations.
The result will be the collapse of the Western banking systems. The people won't cause this to happen because they want to see Putin win. They will cause it to happen for their own success in their own countries. It will hurt them when BRICS wins, but in the long run they will be better off.
The 'S' in BRICS stands for South Africa, where Musk is from. And the things that Musk is doing in America will adversely affect the Western banking systems. But Musk just might be the one who saves the people of the West from their corrupt leaders and the corrupt Western banking systems. It will be a sudden thing when the banking systems collapse. Will the people be ready?
And Ukraine? It's the poor people in Ukraine who are suffering because they don't/didn't understand what is going on in the world. They believed the Zelensky lies, while they are suffering the deaths of over a million of their men. As the women and the kids wake up to this, whose side will they be on when it is time for them to attempt to pick up the pieces of their lives? The West is doomed because of their corrupt banking systems.
