The Ukrainians are Tired

Krupař: The Ukrainians are tired. I know a soldier that wishes he would lose a leg so that he can get away from the front.

Stanislav Krupař is a photographer.

So this interview boils down to skepticism about the bravado displayed after Ukrainian drone campaign. Konstantinovka is falling, and the Russians are advancing, and we are coping. Ukraine is painted as a technological pioneer that is kicking some Russian ass but nobody actually believes they will stop Russian advance in Donbas. Putin is not in a bunker. His support might be falling but this is because he is censoring the internet.

Krupař says the Ukrainian strategy is to create maximum damage for the Russians hoping this will stop them.

Ukraine is Not Losing, Russia is not Winning

Russia is not losing, Ukraine is not winning…

This exercise is getting tiring.

Above is the Hornet 🐝 drone. It should have been a game-changer and fire the last two months, it was a successful campaign that deprived Crimea of gasoline ⛽️ supplies. But Russia is now finding countermeasures. Anti drone units have been deployed to the area, and they are shooting down the AI directed Hornets.

Prokopenko is Sure Ukraine Will Still Win

The youngest Ukrainian general about the Russians: “On the paper awful, on the battlefield paralyzed. We know why we will win the war.”

And the gist of the article is that Russia has a rigid top down sovok system and Ukraine has a NATO adopted system that allows freedom to lower commanders. But Russia is actually not standing idly by. I think the drone unit Rubikon works in a similar way.

The Ukrainians are Chasing the Russians Towards Moscow

The Russian military is in ruins: it is losing territory, in the better case it is stagnating. The Ukrainians are driving it quickly towards Moscow.

Dramatic clickbait title only speaks about recent Ukrainian gains in Zaporozhye and Dnipro. But Russia is actually on the roll mostly everywhere. Even in Zaporozhye, the Ukrainian advance seems to have stalled, the Ukrainians simply do not have the manpower.

Andrii Sybiha Threatens Putin

When Putin rejected Zelensky’s offer for direct negotiations, he lost his chance to escape his lost war. The situation for Russia will only worsen.

This is why Russia cannot end this war. These drones that Ukraine launches are NATO drones, none of them are produced in Ukraine. They might have been designed by Ukrainians but they are made in places like Germany and only assembled in Ukraine. They use navigation and data that is supplied by the West. They use AI software supplied by the West. And if Russia isn’t able to defend against this menace, how is Russia going to defend itself from a potential NATO attack? Russia is finished, it is over… And so, Russia has nothing left but to face this challenge and defeat it.

Zelensky’s Open Letter to Putin

Don’t smoke weed children, and do not sniff coke…

Zelensky has been trying to hit Putin with the usual propaganda, high losses, high costs bla bla bla. Drones, blockages bla bla. Anti-Asian racism. What is actually wrong with Russia engaging North Korea in kicking Ukrainians out of Kursk? What is wrong with being dependent on China? How is it worse than being dependent on Europe? China became an economic powerhouse but Russia was always trading with Far Eastern nations. My mother says that they had everything Japanese while she lived in Far East as a kid.

Zelensky is suing for negotiations when Ukraine is allegedly experiencing success on the battlefield. Do you think Putin will take the bluff after reading the drivel?

Furthermore, the President’s Website includes the text in Ukrainian and English but no Russian. If this is addressed to Putin, why is Russian not included? If it is addressed to the Russian people more so.

Zebra Trucks

The Russians deployed “zebra trucks” at the front. They believe the camouflage will protect them from drone.

Most readers of iDnes don’t think this will help the Russians.

But the Ukrainians are using AI driven drones, whose algorithms could be confused by good camouflage. People have been laughing about cope cages and cope nets but both sides are using them now.

Death of Ukraine

Drones can only kill or destroy, and while I do not underestimate their ability to do damage, I am skeptical about their ability to occupy territories. The drones are good at holding the Russian advance, and attacking logistics at the rear but they will never replace the soldiers needed to retake territory occupied by Russia. The latter force is being forcibly mobilized and this creates resistance in the rear. I have heard of stories when the recruiters are called to collect a draft dodger only to be ambushed and beaten up.

Russia is actually positioned to conquest Donbas by the end of the year. The Ukrs on the other hand have been attacking Russian logistics with Hornet drones powered by Palantir AI causing a lot of damage. This war is getting rather tense now, Russia decided to attack Ukrainian logistics and command centers in the rear. So far in the North East and Kiev but rumors have it they might start attacking from Belarus.

Biletsky says Russia has few Months Left

Ukrainian general: “A turn around that the Kremlin isn’t ready for will come.” They can count last months.

Biletsky says that Ukraine has stepped up counter attacks and drone attacks. Their goal is to deny Russia the conquest of Donbas and make Russia to sue for peace. Russia according to him has few month left. 6 to 12 months for Russia, Ukraine is taking over the initiative.
