Moscow’s myth of Ukraine’s “inevitable defeat” collapses under basic arithmetic. To capture the rest of the Donetsk region could cost Russia years more war and hundreds of thousands of additional lives. The resources already lost were enough to build a world-class AI sector.

Ukraine’s defense industry has grown dozens of times over since the start of the full-scale invasion. Crucially, this growth is not about reviving production lines established decades ago, but about building entirely new, high-tech weapons systems that are already in demand worldwide.

The Kremlin claims it targets military sites in Ukraine, yet homes, power infrastructure—and American businesses—keep getting hit. In one such case, while Moscow said it was destroying drone production, it struck an Oreo cookie factory instead.

Within two days, three coordinated explosions targeted Ukrainian police, killing at least one officer and injuring more than 30 in a new Russian terror campaign.

The Russian army is known for its doomed missions carried out by untrained soldiers. Men are sent to war even while mentally ill or wounded, because there are simply no reserves left.

Powered by precision drone warfare, Ukraine is eliminating tens of thousands of Russian troops every month and aims to push that number to 50,000. Without mass mobilization, Moscow cannot rebuild its shattered units.
