Some interesting comments based on reports from the UK MOD. I did smile at this line They indicated that the conflict in Ukraine could have influenced this situation as there can be no doubt that the war in Ukraine has influenced the situation.

Over the last two years, Russia has seen a troubling increase in the number of men with disabilities. A report published by the UK Ministry of Defence covered Russians aged between 31 and 59 years old. The British attribute this troubling trend to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The Defence Ministry's report was based on daily intelligence updates, which included an analysis conducted by the independent portal Wiorstka - as reported by PAP. The portal focused on studying the Russian pension fund and social insurance.

The study's results indicated that between 2022 and 2023, Russia experienced a record increase in the number of men aged 31 to 59 with disabilities. This is the most significant increase recorded in the last eight years. In 2022, the number of men with disabilities officially stood at 1.67 million, and by 2023, it had increased by 507,000, representing a 30 percent increase.

The report added that Russian demographers, who spoke with the Wiorstka portal, stated that the surge in the number of men with disabilities is most likely related to an increase in the number of war veterans with disabilities. They indicated that the conflict in Ukraine could have influenced this situation. The intelligence update assessed that this is probably the main cause of social changes in Russia. It was also noted that the vast majority of the 335,000 casualties, sustained by the Russian armed forces in Ukraine, were wounded. The average daily number of Russian casualties has since the offensive began in autumn 2023, reaching a peak of 983 per day. This is the highest rate since the beginning of the war - emphasized the British ministry.
The UK Ministry of Defence stated that "the record increase in the number of men aged 31 to 59 with disabilities and wounded soldiers will significantly impact Russian medical and social benefits". It was pointed out that the growing number of people requiring medical care and social support could put additional strain on the Russian healthcare and social system.
 
Corrupting western democraties worked in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, possible Italia, seems to work in Germany (AFD) possible Austria and many others which unexplainable strong right-wing parties. This does not even account for Africa, South America, Asia, etc where resistance to fake info and money bribery is far lower.
Has worked in the US for the 2016 election (russian intelligence hacking democrats and providing info to Trump), failed in 2020 but may work again this year.
This russian strategy works fine if they pour enough money and manpower in these influence campaigns.

I don't think Russia could succeed militarily. It would have to somehow corrupt or influence the Western democracies first.
Like there's any chance of that happening.

Just look at the US House of Representatives, where a small minority of "kool-aid" addicts, living in an alternate reality, have managed to hog-tie the process of government until they get their way and can force their dingbat policies down the throats of the majority of Americans who oppose them. Textbook playbook of How to Defeat Democracy aka Dictatorship 101. "...comes when you're always afraid;
step outta line, the men come, take you away......everybody look what's going down!"
