Russian control of Ukraine:
March 2022
- 159,000 Square Kilometers
- 61,400 Square Miles
- 26.4% of all Ukraine
March 2024
- 111,900 Square Kilometers
- 42,200 Square Miles
- 18.5 % of all Ukraine
At this point it is absolutely irrelevant if Prigozhin's coup will succeed or not. Literally everybody in Russia and outside will know after this night that the war in Ukraine is lost. The morale of the Russian army, which was already low, will hit rock bottom and the mood in…

We are currently in a pre-stage of a world war. I compare it to the period between 1936-1939. The civil war in Spain is raging and it is unclear who will win, but Italy and Germany help Franco, while the West mainly stays silent. Same goes with Czechoslovakia and Austria, two…
I have kept quiet on the counteroffensive and this is by design. But I want to say this:

Ukrainian forces are cracking the Russian defense lines step by step. They drive a chisel into the lines and then widen the rift by moving into the flanks. This might not look fast, but it is how you break defense networks and it is working. This is, however, not even the most…
The Russian forces is Ukraine are most certainly absolutely paralyzed. It is absolutely impossible for them to mount any kind of strategic activity, whether defensive and even less offensive. They are totally isolated from the Russian motherland.

This brand new Russian T-90M Proryv-3 with Nakidka thermal camouflage is burning somewhere in Luhansk region. Allegedly a Swedish delivered AT4 (unit costs 1,480 USD) has been used to knock it out. 5 million USD in Russian tax payer money smoked.

The most humiliating military parade we saw in Moscow, ever. Seriously, it is so pathetic that I cannot stop laughing. Just one T-34-85 tank, the only tank. Like I said, Russia needs all of their functioning gear at the front. Ukraine completely brought Russia to the brink.

Sometimes it takes only one picture, one second in life to express the desire and wish of an entire nation. Russians have committed every imaginable crime and always failed to subdue Ukraine.

Russian propaganda using same actors and actresses over and over again is by far something new. They just do this so blatantly that it is an insult of anyone’s intelligence.
Just to summarize the most important developments of the last 48h:

- Rear bases in Russian-occupied Luhansk getting eliminated
- Russians deploying T-54/55
- Panic and chaos among Russian pilots/troops
