According to the Russia Analytical Report for May 26-June 1, 2026, the fear of being targeted by drone attacks has compelled President Vladimir Putin to spend a significant amount of time in underground shelters. A recent Ukrainian offensive struck only 3.5 miles away from the Kremlin. The Economist suggests that 70% of Russia's populace now resides within the 1,200-mile operational range of Ukrainian drone technology. Russia is characterized as being in a state of 'negative equilibrium,' meaning it cannot make significant progress in Ukraine while also being unable to handle losses that surpass its recruitment capabilities. Military experts caution that this scenario is often linked to regime instability.
