I saw a post on here a few days ago saying the whole attack on Moscow was a PR stunt by Ukraine. That they were dropping kerosene to generate black smoke. I guess that was all bs
Russia is definitely hurting with these hits but it’s definitely a war of attrition at this point.
Hopefully the rot sets in and the front collapses quickly.
Thoughts and prayers
They have to wait for the top to come down
So that’s what they meant when they said the oil price is way up?
think the term is “Sky High”
The war has come back to Russia, and they are losing badly now, after a long period of deteriorating military strength, and an economy that is just as bad as when the Soviet Union collapsed.
While Ukraine has increased in strength, and has a positive economic outlook as a member of the EU.I want to believe that is true, but things are still dire for Ukraine. Russia is still constantly creeping forward, taking territory little by little.
Ukraine is doing the right thing though, starve Russia of fuel. With enough of that, they won’t be able to resupply their troops and their war machine will collapse.
Not to mention the thousands of children Russia kidnapped, and god knows what happened to them.
The tide has turned.
Ukraine is starting to regain more ground than it is losing for the first time since 2023. Ukrainian forces liberated more territory than they lost in the last two weeks of February 2026 for the first time since the Summer 2023 counteroffensive. Russian forces suffered a net loss of 116 square kilometers of territory in April 2026. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi stated on May 15 that precise Ukrainian strikes, the destruction of Russian reserves, and constant pressure on Russian assault units have allowed Ukrainian forces to increasingly seize the tactical initiative and force Russian forces to react to a Ukrainian-defined operational tempo.
Since February (the timeline you are claiming), Ukraine has lost territory. Not a lot, but Russia is creeping forward. Kostiantynivka in particular seems like it’s in trouble.
Now please understand, I don’t actually think it matters who gains a km here or there. Ukraine is doing the right thing by enforcing “long range sanctions”, and I think they’re going to win because of it. But I’m under no illusions that Ukraine is capturing more territory than they are losing right now.
Did they? Someone made a graph based on ISW data that showed the last few months as Ukraine gaining on net
I think there are lots of conflicting sources. (I’m sure ISW knows better than I do, I’m an internet rando.) Other visualizations I’ve looked at show very slow advances over the last couple of months.
Between February and now that is true, but the last few months have seen small net gains by Ukraine. Whether that trend holds out is up in the air, but they have been doing a number on Russian logistics. Crimea in particular is struggling mightily with fuel shortages.
I’d say the soviet union collaps was not as worse as this. But idk wasnt born yet
Right after it collapsed, Russia lost a good chunk of its territory and later fought two bloody wars in Chechnya which more or less turned its military into a glorified joke you see today.
Rest in piss assholes.
Get dunked nerds.
