- Putin has lost control over the narrative protecting Moscow from war consequences, as recent Ukrainian drone and missile attacks directly hit the capital.
- Historical parallels, such as Japan's WWII propaganda collapse after the Marianas loss, illustrate how losing event control undermines regime narratives.
- Ukraine's improved long-range capabilities allow strikes on strategic Moscow targets, exposing Russian air defense vulnerabilities and shifting war momentum.

- The war dynamics have shifted against Russia, with Ukraine gaining strength and shaping the conflict, worsening Putin's domestic political predicament.
