This fund will last this year and depending on how much money Russia needs and the oil price next year as well. However nobody looses wars due to running out of money. You loose on the battlefield or due to the suffering of the population being to bad. The fund running empty just means average Russians will get worse government services and economic support is going to fall. If Putin cuts back too much, he has a revolution on his hands.

Arguably, that revolution is due to running out of money.

Wars often are lost due to economics.

I think what he was trying to point out is that you should not expect a direct visible effect of the dwindling funds on the events on the battlefield. It will be much more indirect and delayed by month, maybe years.

Eh, you're probably right. It just seemed to be a very definitive set of statements.
