Through the mouthpiece of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Putin has begun to align his rhetoric with Donald Trump’s public statements. Trump recently claimed that launching American missiles on Russian territory would be madness and would escalate the conflict – one he has repeatedly promised to resolve within 24 hours. Putin’s regime has initiated a game aimed at luring Trump […]

Modern warfare has taken on a form of chaos, where survival on the front line increasingly depends not on sound planning or resources but on sheer chance. Injuries that render a soldier unable to return to combat sometimes become their only chance to stay alive. This is neither fiction nor exaggeration – it is the harsh reality we face every […]

Generals do not understand the capabilities of the units and fail to grasp the situation on the front line, wrote Serhii Filimonov, the commander of the 108th Mechanized Brigade’s “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion, on his Telegram page. Paramedic and head of the “Ulf” medical service of the “Da Vinci Wolves” battalion, Alina Mykhailova, also pointed out that the key problems […]

I read our plans, whether for victory or peace, and none of them seem executable because they are aimed outward – toward our partners – rather than inward, toward Ukraine. I listen to our Supreme Commander-in-Chief boldly sending the enemy to hell during press conferences, instead of quietly preparing and delivering a significant blow. And then there’s the de facto […]

Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky claimed that the criminal case against him was fabricated on the orders of President Volodymyr Zelensky to cover up his involvement in negotiations with Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin before and after the 2018 and 2019 presidential elections. According to Censor.NET, a video where Dubinsky discusses this was published on the Dubina TV YouTube channel. Dubinsky alleged […]

A massive missile attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure after a long pause, but without reports of significant hits or destruction. In response, the U.S. reportedly approved and executed a missile strike on military facilities in Bryansk and Kursk regions, though again, no reports of major damage surfaced. News emerged about the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv closing due to a supposed […]

They’ve piled up so much nonsense from all sides that it’s hard to sort through it all at once. In Russia, they’ve completely lost their minds (though how much further could they go?) – the mysterious “Rubezh,” the hypersonic “Oreshnik,” claims of no defenses, and a deep crater with groundwater where Yuzhmash once stood… In short, everyone is expected to […]

Russia often conducts simulated missile launches from Tu-95MS bombers for several reasons, both military and psychological. Here are the main possible motives:   1. Demonstration of strength and intimidation 2. Testing combat readiness 3. Probing Ukrainian Air Defense 4. Assessing NATO’s readiness 5. Resource limitations for real strikes 6. Propaganda 7. Testing Ukraine’s partners Conclusion   Simulated missile launches from […]

Another initiative, this time from Erdoğan, fizzled out almost immediately following Peskov’s declaration that the Kremlin won’t agree to a freeze. It’s crucial to understand that this refusal isn’t primarily about geopolitics or Russia’s lust for new territory. They’re facing decline and emptiness even in the territories they already hold. Nor is it solely about the psychological state of the […]

The advantage in effective management of operational-tactical and operational-strategic units has been utilized by the Russian Federation since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, ensuring their successes on the front. In the Ukrainian army, it is now difficult to find a brigade that does not fight with attached units in the form of companies and battalions, which often leads to […]

I hesitated about whether to write this, but I will after all. I want to apologize to my unit—I’m not much of a commander. Everyone who knows us is aware that we often handled our own issues, using our own funds. It was simpler, more efficient, and faster that way. Usually, around 60% of the hundred we received would go […]

A working scenario for the near future: D. Trump proposes to halt hostilities along the front line without the return of most of our occupied territories, particularly Crimea and Donbas. Ukraine would have to agree to this since we are entirely dependent on our partners. However, it’s unclear whether Putin would agree to these harsh conditions for Ukraine or if […]
