Starlink Whitelist: Frontline Coordination Fails - Jason Jay Smart

Moscow is under pressure as major events confluence at once. This report analyzes the structural intersection of security breaches and economic exhaustion currently paralyzing the Kremlin. We begin with the targeted strike on GRU Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev, an essential fixer in the regime's internal security layer. His removal proves that elite safety is no longer guaranteed, forcing a paralysis in decision-making and a hardening of war-first fiscal triage.

The analysis connects this internal panic to the math: while the Kremlin claims a $46 billion deficit, intelligence assessments show the real hole exceeds $100 billion. Borrowing at a terminal rate of 16% forces the state to protect missiles first and public maintenance last. This fiscal logic is exactly why 80,000 residents in Belgorod face winter without heat. Furthermore, coordination at the front has collapsed following the February 2nd Starlink whitelist implementation. Without broadband connectivity, Russian assault units have become isolated pockets fighting for survival. These failures in security, money, and coordination are no longer separate events; they are a single, tightening knot. When elite panic and a dead budget collide with a blind front, the internal physics of the empire simply give out.
