For Those Who Might Be Wondering Why We Might Be In Ukraine

Crimea Strikes Push Russia Closer to BANKRUPTCY​

Russia's war in Ukraine is entering a new phase, forcing the Russian military into a horrific situation. Ukrainian forces are gaining a strategic advantage, and recent drone strikes are exposing critical weaknesses deep inside Russia. These attacks have destroyed key Russian air assets, crippling logistics, and rapid deployment capabilities. The pressure on aviation is translating into pressure on command and logistics, which the Russians are not handling well.

The situation on the ground for the Russian military is deteriorating rapidly. Friendly fire incidents are a frequent occurrence, eroding morale and killing initiative at the company and battalion levels. The western press often misrepresents the reality of the conflict, ignoring that Russia is in fact losing. They fail to gain ground and are losing an incredible number of soldiers and machinery at a rate the Russian economy cannot sustain.

Russia is also getting closer to bankruptcy. The Russian economy is collapsing under the weight of the war, with major state-backed companies like Rosneft, TMK, Mechel, and MMK posting massive losses. These key industries are the backbone of federal revenue, and their financial struggles are triggering quality degradation and delivery delays. Despite Putin's efforts to find support, Russia lacks other options. The economic reality is far worse than what is reported, and every day, Russia is closer to financial ruin.

Ukraine's Growing Missile Arsenal

Ukraine’s missile arsenal has rapidly expanded, with new weapons unveiled between 2023 and 2025. Zelenskyy announced in March 2025 that the Long Neptune, capable of striking targets up to 1,000 kilometers away, had already been deployed. By August 24, Independence Day, Ukraine showcased the missile publicly, signaling a dramatic upgrade in range and firepower.

Alongside the Long Neptune, Ukraine is rolling out the Sapsan ballistic missile, boasting speeds over 5,000 km/h and a warhead exceeding 1,000 pounds. Both systems represent a major shift from Ukraine’s defensive posture to a more offensive capability, building on earlier strikes with Storm Shadows, ATACMS, and modified Neptune variants to hit Russian infrastructure and weaken its war effort.

Daily Update from Denys

 

[Cat]

The resources aren't an issue with the EU backing them. The EU can out-produce and out-fund anyone, even disorganized as they are. Ukrainian industry has capacity but lacks internal funding - increasingly the EU is providing that funding and Ukrainian war industry os gearing up - this war may well end with Ukraine's defence industry being core to the EU' defences and replacing many weapons currently bought world wide from the USA. Necessity is the mother of invention.

I kinda like this..
Europe has long since realised something unpleasant, US is no longer a reliable ally.
The US might have been the biggest producer of military material, but if we cannot buy and use the weapons as we need. Then what good does it do?

Ukraine is most definitely going to become the backbone in the defense of Europe.
Whether or not US is going to permit Ukraine a NATO membership.

I mean.. what if Ukraine started to produce solid fuel in Denmark?

plant-in-denmark

Oh, and when it comes to supporting Ukraine, yeah - We are doing pretty well here in Europe.
If you keep in mind when looking at these numbers: we are only a little less than 6 million people in Denmark.

Yesterday was the day that dear leader laid the hammer down on Putin for failing to get a peace deal done.

I'm sure we'll see dear leader put Putin in his place so he'll immediately stop his invasion and seek peace.

What I am sure of is that dear leader will find a way to weasel out of actually doing anything constructiveand will instead criticize Ukraine for not surrendering.

And if you want to actually help Ukraine, there's a fund raiser going on for Engineering Equipment

It’s hard to explain what these small machines do for defending Ukraine. The dirt is solid, manpower is scarce but troops need a fortifications. (Please read till the end to see how you can help)This image demonstrates construction of fortifications for a 38th marine brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces. The size of the machine is roughly 2,5 meters or 7.5 feet high and 2 meters or 6 feet wide. Do the calculations yourself to understand how much time and people it would take to dig this manually with shovels without an excavator.This machine literally saves lives, most soldiers don’t even know about it’s existence, they will come a fortified position without any knowledge of the machine that built it. It’s gray and boring, but it saves lives.

That Liberty Ukraine logo on the machine means you sponsored it, we delivered and repaired it for probably 1/3 of the market cost because we know what we are doing and because you generosity allowed us to plan this machine in advance.Machine that costs 25k will save count less lives and millions worth of equipment. It will enable our drone operators and infantry, it will make sure our artillery is safe from enemy strikes.Today I am fundraising for two similar machines (a bit bigger) for the 72nd mechanized brigade, and I need your help.

Wear and tear catching up on the Russian Air Force

A major incident in Russia’s strategic aviation according to well informed channel Dosye Sphiona: On the night of Sept 2–3, multiple Tu-160 bombers faced critical failures during a combat mission against Ukraine. One failed to launch missiles due to a malfunction, another was hit by lightning and forced to abort with cockpit damage, and a third never took off from Engels.

Zelensky was asked about Trump's sanctions....."through pressure from the United States, Trump can compel Putin to enter a diplomatic format so that dialogue is conducted without weapons. And I then asked, if Putin does not do this, to, if possible, apply tariffs and sanctions to push him toward diplomatic dialogue. When we say that if this meeting does not happen, then support in the form of aid and sanctions should follow. We conveyed these signals to the President of the United States,” Zelenskyy said.

"Tomorrow we will try to speak with President Trump about it..."

"Nobody trusts Putin..."

"Who can give guarantees that Putin will not continue....nobody....he lied so many times..."

Russia is experiencing setbacks across multiple fronts simultaneously.

On the battlefield, Ukraine is raising its flag over liberated villages, marking significant progress. In the skies, advanced Ukrainian drones, including the new Flamingo cruise missile, are crippling Russian infrastructure. These long-range missiles have a claimed range of 3,000 kilometers and have reportedly been used to strike a Russian facility in Crimea.

Beyond the battlefield, Ukraine is leveraging its capabilities to attack vital Russian assets. Ukrainian drones have caused significant damage to Russian oil refineries, contributing to fuel shortages and rising inflation within Russia. Partisan groups like Atesh are also disrupting Russian logistics by sabotaging rail lines. Additionally, Ukrainian forces have successfully targeted and destroyed a key satellite control system in Crimea that supports the Russian GLONASS navigation network. These coordinated strikes weaken Russia's ability to wage war and have a substantial economic impact, putting increasing pressure on the Kremlin.

With Russia losing ground on the battlefield and its economy being choked by targeted strikes and partisan sabotage, the Kremlin's position grows more precarious by the day.

$38,801 raised of $120,000 - even the price of a cup of coffee helps when enough people donate. There's only a dozen or so of us n the PB but if even half pf us dinate $10 or $20 that's one or two hundred bucks towards this - Constantine has done a few of these, and these diggers are invaluable. They buy older ones cheap and refurbish them themselves in Ukraine before sending off to front line units to help prepare defensive positions.

A total Putin troll…

The Ukrainians have an amazing capacity to pique Putin.

Not quite the French taunter from Monte Python, but pretty damn close…



Slava Ukraini!!!

 

[ChloeTzang]

Trump is running out of excuses to do nothing and he can't blame Zelensky

so he's just....doing nothing

 

[ChloeTzang]

The FRench seem to have Trump nailed......

This is how real allies meet - relaxed, minimal pomp & circumstance with concrete outcomes.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Ohhhh, it's a "conversation with Putin shortly" and then we'll see what other pressure we can put on Ukraine to force them to capitulate.....got it

 

[ChloeTzang]

And both the US and the Europeans know this,

which is why Trimp will not put boots on the ground and why Europeans will not commit without US boots - because everyone knows Russia will only use a peace agreement as a pause to rebuild and attack again.

The only viable solution is to be honest and

(a) force Ukraine to surrender, knowing his means another Ukrainian genocide and WW3 as soon as Russian is strong enough to attack the next targets - and with Ukraine under Russian control, that wlill be much sooner,

or

(b) give Ukraine the weapons and ammo to do the job and bring Russia crashing down

THere are no other choices, and (b) is the only real one as (a) leads to a war involving us, whether we like it or not

Ukraine’s “Flying Sanctions” Are WORKING!​

Western sanctions failed to cripple Russia’s oil industry, but Ukraine has found a way. Using long-range drones—“flying sanctions”—Ukraine is striking refineries, igniting massive fuel shortages across Russia and its occupied territories. These relentless attacks are shutting down production, driving up prices, and choking off one of Moscow’s most vital revenue streams. As shortages spread and pressure mounts, Russia faces a crisis that sanctions alone could never achieve.

Putin’s State TV Mouthpieces Brag that Trump and Tulsi Gabbard Were Just Following His Orders​

 

[Rightguide]

Russian forces are reportedly breaking into Kupyansk and advancing into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the heart of Ukraine’s industrial belt. Losing this region would be a catastrophic blow. If Russia gains effective control, the conflict could reach a decisive, and potentially rapid, turning point far sooner than anticipated.
