Russians are waiting in long lines for gasoline, and the Russian economy is going to collapse if this war doesn't end.

Paraphrase of President Trump's widely reported remarks, corroborated across multiple wire outlets; the Kremlin publicly disputed the characterization the next day.
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump · Sept 13, 2025
I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations agree, and start, to do the same, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA. It greatly weakens your negotiation position, and bargaining power, over Russia.

Casualty and loss figures are inherently contested — neither Moscow nor Kyiv releases timely, verifiable loss data, and this page cites the bracketing range across independent trackers rather than a single number. “Killed” and “casualties” (killed + wounded) are different figures; we label each explicitly.
Equipment figures marked Oryx are a visually-confirmed floor, not a ceiling — real losses are almost certainly higher. Figures marked “Ukrainian General Staff claim” are self-reported by a combatant and likely optimistic; we show both so readers can see the gap.
For the narrative version of this story — Operation Spider’s Web, the Black Sea Fleet, the fuel crisis — see Bigger Army. Bigger Budget. Bigger Body Count.. A newer front opened July 18, 2026: see Ukraine’s drone campaign against Wildberries warehouses for how the war is now hitting Russia’s retail economy directly.
