It has been evident from the start, but it must be really bad now that hes admitting it. We’ve seen LPR/DNR forces using Mosins for a while now.

Russian soldiers seem to have been complaining about shortages for some time now. Just look at how the amount of shelling has gone down. They’re sending T-55’s to the front line now. Even the Kremlin will have to acknowledge the reality at some point I guess.

Do you have sources on the amount of shelling? Would be interesting to see

Ukrainian soldiers are also complaining about lack of ammunition and are fielding. T-55s. While Russia has a much larger geographical and raw resource base to rely on to build new Equipment, Ukraine does not have that luxury (but does have western support). So if Putins statements about increasing production of military equipment 3x-10x are accurate projections, I can see why they still think they can keep going.

Russia is in a horrible shape, all neighbors should considering attacking and grabbing a piece of land and destroying the big bear once and for all

They should also do it in the winter to increase the likelihood of success

You sure about that? Wasn’t Russia like in a much worser shape after WW1 and got raided by line 15 countries at once (“to strangle the bolshevik baby in its crib” according to Churchill)? And they still prevailed?

Works in the playground, but not so much when they can start the worst conflict the planet has ever seen.
