Proof Putin's Regime Is Collapsing Today - Jason Jay Smart

Vladimir Putin’s regime is weakening in ways that are measurable and visible. Ukraine’s commander reports Russia’s 2025 offensives failed along a 1,200 kilometer (750 mile) front. At the same time the Russia fuel crisis is visible on the ground. Drivers in Crimea and other regions stand in long lines as Moscow extends a gasoline export ban and tightens diesel limits to keep stations supplied. By July 2025 the state budget deficit reached about 61 billion U.S. dollars and exceeded the full year plan with months remaining. These facts are connected. Refinery strikes reduce diesel and gasoline output. Export bans cut dollar income needed for imports and the war. The treasury gap forces higher taxes and forced bond sales that drain banks and pensions. The Russia budget deficit 2025 sits at the center of this chain.

This video tracks how fuel, money, and factional power interact inside the Kremlin marketplace. The purge of senior officials shows the FSB seizing budgets and intimidating rival clans. Economic pressure is translated into daily life. A weaker ruble and new taxes make paychecks buy less. Credit dries up for families and small firms when banks are ordered to fund the state. The army competes with civilians for the same fuel and parts, slowing logistics and repairs. Battlefield failures and the budget shortfall reinforce each other, and the front begins to mirror the balance sheet.

The analysis lays out the four blocs that define today’s Moscow. Security services trade fear. Technocrats protect stability and payments. Oligarchs chase cash from oil and gas. Political managers manufacture consent on television. With less money and more crises, the broker in the middle cannot keep all sides satisfied. The Russia fuel crisis, the budget deficit, and targeted arrests form a chain of pressure that narrows options inside the Kremlin and shapes events at the front. Clear signals, concrete data, and a realistic endgame are presented without spin.
