Political analysts from Russia say anxiety is rising in Moscow as the Putin’s forces face what’s likely to be months more fighting and military losses, and even starts to consider it may be defeated.

That would be catastrophic for Kremlin, who have banked Russia’s global capital on winning against Ukraine, analysts said, noting that anxiety was rising in Moscow over how the Putin war was progressing.

“Since September, I see a lot of changes [in Russia] and a lot of fears,” Stanovaya, a nonresident scholar at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and founder and head of political analysis firm R.Politik, told CNBC.

For the first time since war started, people are beginning to consider the worst case scenario, that Putin can lose, and they don’t see and don’t understand how Russia can get out from this conflict without being destroyed. People are very anxious, they believe that what is going on is a disaster,” she said Monday.
