The War in Ukraine has lasted over 1,000 days, with heavy losses on both sides. While Ukraine's use of NATO aid and drone warfare has led to counter-invasions and strategic victories, Russia faces mounting failures—like the disastrous Kursk invasion. Despite massive casualties and desperate measures, including North Korean troop deployments, Putin struggles to regain control. What does this mean for the war's future?

Successful attacks by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on military facilities located on Russian territory could lead to the withdrawal of air defense systems from the occupied territories and the humiliation of Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin. This was stated by Anatoly Khrapchinsky, deputy director of a Ukrainian company producing electronic warfare equipment, on air at Radio NV.
"In fact, I want to note that here it is most likely not even on his knees, but a more complex form of mockery will be directed at Putin - humiliation. Because in fact, here we need to understand that the Russian Federation is significantly losing its logistical component in the long term. And this will lead to what we saw when the troops approached Kyiv. That is, we saw that they were left without any weapons and could not work...", - the expert said.
He noted that the strategic purpose of strikes on military facilities of the Russian Federation is to weaken the aggressor country from within. Successful strikes demonstrate, among other things, that Russia currently lacks a sufficient amount of air defense, which was previously moved to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, where it was destroyed, or operates and interferes with the work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces aviation component. However, attacks by the Defense Forces specifically on important military targets of the Russian Federation may lead to the enemy starting to pull back some air defense systems. As the expert noted, for example, in order to try to protect the Moscow region, where certain factories producing electronics for military needs and the like are located.
Khrapchinsky recalled that the enemy is actively using air defense on the front line, increasing the production of drones, even simple ones like "Molniya", launching terrorist attacks on the Kharkiv region, using FPV drones on frontline and border settlements of Ukraine, and the like. İt should be noted that attacks on Russian military facilities increase discontent in Russian society.
Let us recall that on the night of January 14, Ukraine launched a massive combined attack on the territory of the Russian Federation. Aviation expert and manufacturer of electronic warfare equipment Anatoly Khrapchinsky said that aircraft, artillery installations for launching ATACMS missiles and unmanned systems were used. According to him, given the distance, it becomes clear that 1000 km is no longer a problem for Ukraine to overcome them using its own developments. At the same time, the expert noted that the main thing in this attack is not the explosions and fires, but the result - each such attack has strategic significance for the occupiers.

Today, there are important updates from the Russian Federation.
Here, Ukraine’s continuous strike campaign on air defense assets, in combination with deep rear strikes, has placed Russia in a dire dilemma: whether to defend its critical rear infrastructure or protect its military assets at the front. Either choice could potentially expose Russia to systematic destruction, leaving them increasingly vulnerable.
The most significant Ukrainian strike targeted the Ryazan oil refinery, one of Russia’s top five largest refining facilities, processing 17 million tons of crude oil annually and a vital component of Russia’s military logistics and economy, supplying fuel essential for civilian and military operations. The drone attack triggered massive fires, forcing a shutdown of operations and severely disrupting fuel supplies.
Achieving such deep strikes required neutralizing Russian air defense networks, which Ukraine executed with remarkable effectiveness. Since destroying well-protected air defense systems in the deep rear is more difficult, Ukrainian forces focused instead on destroying those deployed closer to the front.
In a single day, Ukrainian forces destroyed a staggering number of Russian air defense systems: two Pantsir-S1s, 2 S-300 systems, 1 Osa system, and 1 Buk-M1 system.
In the following days, Ukrainians destroyed one S-400 system in Kursk, and several BUK-m3 and TOR-M2 systems in the Belgorod region. Then, Ukrainians targeted an electronic warfare system in the Kherson region, and one radar, one TOR-M2, and one BUK-M3 system through FPV drone strikes in the Zaporizhia region. Ukrainian special operations forces were also able to destroy two additional Russian BUK-M2 air defense systems, together with their crews, repairmen, and accompanying service vehicles.
Ukrainians accomplished this through the work of resistance groups, like Atesh, operating behind enemy lines, providing real-time intelligence on Russian defenses. They relay precise coordinates for strikes and document results, ensuring no Russian system is truly safe.
Such losses forced Russian commanders to make difficult choices: either leave frontline troops exposed to Ukrainian strikes or pull more systems from the rear, exposing strategic sites deep inside Russia, as each destroyed system further weakens Russia’s ability to intercept Ukrainian drones and missiles, compounding the effectiveness of long-range strikes.
Ukraine has leveraged these gaps in the Russian air defense network to launch additional drone and missile strikes against key Russian civilian and military infrastructure, striking the command posts of the Russian 29th and 2nd Combined Armed Armies in Donetsk, undermining Russian command and control structure in their offensive operations here.
Ukraine then continued its strikes on Russian rear assets, including another devastating strike on the Ryazan refinery to finish the job after the last strike. As this ensured the facility would suffer prolonged damage, this tactic of waiting for Russian emergency response teams to contain the fires before launching another wave of drones maximized the destruction.
Ukrainians also launched another secondary strike on the Kremniy microelectronics plant in Bryansk, days after the initial attack. This crippled one of Russia’s key military electronics manufacturers, which supplies critical components for S-300, S-400, and Iskander missile systems.
Next, a drone strike on an oil depot in Voronezh ignited fires that burned for days, only for a secondary strike to cause further destruction.
The Smolensk aviation plant, responsible for producing and upgrading Russian combat aircraft, was also successfully hit by Ukrainian drones, significantly disrupting operations.
Another strike targeted a key storage facility in Orel, where Russia stockpiles Shahed drones used daily against Ukrainian civilians. Over 200 enemy drones were reportedly destroyed, dealing a major blow to Russia’s strategic striking capabilities.
The last strike occurred in Kazan, where overnight, Ukrainian drones hit a military airfield, an aviation college, and an aircraft plant, where Tu-160 and Tu-22 strategic bombers are produced and repaired.
Overall, Ukraine’s strike campaign is carefully designed to force Russia into an impossible choice. Russia must either prioritize defending its strategic rear infrastructure, such as oil refineries, microelectronics plants, and defense industry facilities, leaving frontline troops vulnerable, or focus on protecting military assets inside Ukraine, exposing vital economic and military infrastructure deep inside Russia to devastating strikes. By systematically degrading Russian air defenses, Ukraine has reduced Russia’s ability to protect both fronts simultaneously, putting them in front of a dreadful dilemma, which leave...[article truncated]

Are Chinese and Russian vessels secretly sabotaging vital undersea cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea? In this video, we uncover the latest incidents that have heightened security concerns across Europe:
Sweden Seizes Chinese Ship
Swedish authorities detain a Chinese vessel suspected of damaging an undersea cable in Baltic waters—a rare and bold move that challenges Beijing’s activities at sea.
The backdrop: NATO’s newly launched “Baltic Sentinel” project intensifies surveillance, deploying drones, patrol ships, and submarines to defend critical infrastructure.
Russia’s “Shadow Fleet” and Hybrid Warfare
Mysterious engine “breakdowns” aboard vessels linked to Russian interests align with key undersea cable sites, sparking fears of deliberate sabotage.
Concerns that older, poorly documented ships may be part of a wider campaign to test NATO responses by hovering over sensitive communication and gas pipeline routes.
High-Stakes Infrastructure
Ninety-nine percent of global data travels via submarine cables—crucial for internet, finance, and military operations.
Recent cuttings and tampering—like the Nord Stream gas pipeline attacks—highlight the vulnerability of undersea systems to covert interference.
Why the Baltic Sea?
Often referred to as a “NATO lake,” it’s surrounded by alliance members except for Russia’s Kaliningrad—and increasingly sees Chinese involvement via Russia.
Hybrid threats in this corridor put Europe’s vital communications, power links, and shipping lanes at serious risk.
Legal & Geopolitical Quagmire
Investigations into underwater sabotage face jurisdiction hurdles in exclusive economic zones (EEZs).
Western governments struggle to prosecute vessels suspected of harming cables—especially when linked to major powers like Russia and China.
Existing maritime norms are being eroded by states willing to disregard them, endangering the principle of free navigation and stable trade routes.
The Future of Maritime Freedom
As NATO bolsters its submarine infrastructure monitoring network, the question remains: Can allied forces truly safeguard Europe’s seabeds against stealth attacks?
With Chinese and Russian actions challenging the post–World War II maritime order, shipping lanes, undersea cables, and offshore energy sites could face escalating threats.
Will stronger NATO cooperation and real-time patrols be enough to thwart sabotage attempts in Europe’s most sensitive waters? Watch to discover how these developments might reshape maritime security, highlight legal loopholes, and force governments—and insurers—to rethink undersea defense.
Join the Discussion
How can countries protect undersea cables and pipelines from “shadow fleet” interference?
Should maritime laws be strengthened or updated to address rising hybrid threats?

From the beginning of the two thousand twenty two Russian invasion until today, uncrewed aerial vehicles have been used by both Ukrainians and Russians in a wide variety of missions.
As the war progressed, the Ukrainian navy began experimenting with the development and use of uncrewed air and naval strike systems, which it has now mastered.
Ukraine's drone fleet wreaked havoc in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Pskov, Smolensk, Kaluba, Tula, Oryol, Bryansk, Kursk, Belgorod and Voronezh.
Air bases, training centers, oil and weapons storage facilities of the Russian army in these settlements were severely damaged.
Similarly, regions such as Crimea, Rostov, Krasnodar and Adygea were also hit by Ukrainian military drone strikes.
A number of small boats and semi-submersibles were used to attack Russian naval vessels in the Black Sea, forcing the Russians to restrict their operations in the western parts of this body of water.
The Kremlin has diverted naval elements from Novorossiysk to the Azov coast or off the coast of Azov because of the threat of Ukrainian naval drones.
The Russian military leadership tried to take a series of conspicuous measures to protect the Kerch Bridge, naval assets, ports and oil installations in the Black Sea.
S five hundred air defense systems were moved to the Crimean Peninsula.
In addition, a large number of Russian ferries have been dismantled and placed on the sea lanes near Crimea's coastal areas.
Of course, these measures did not stop Ukraine's air and sea drones.
There have been countless attacks.
In other words, the Russian side has recognized Ukraine's superiority in the competition over both drones and naval drones.
Kiev, on the other hand, has focused its military strategy and offensive posture entirely on drones and naval drones.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has seriously intimidated Russia with his project to produce one million drones.
Military sources close to the Kremlin argued that this was impossible, and that the Russian military could make up the shortfall with support from its allies.
But in recent days, the Ukrainians have given a striking response to military sources close to the Kremlin by introducing a new actor into the national unmanned aerial vehicle production game.
So what was this new unmanned aerial vehicle and what advantages could it give the Ukrainian military in war?

Here, the most important updates come from the Velyka Novosilka direction.
Here, the battle for Velyka Novosilka reached a critical turning point as Russian forces pushed forward, leveraging their numerical superiority and high-ground advantage. With the last remaining Ukrainian supply route under attack and relentless assaults underway, the fate of Velyka Novosilka was at stake.
After months of intense fighting, the Russian forces continued their offensive effort to take control of Velyka Novosilka. Despite being relatively small, Velyka Novosilka is still the largest town in forty kilometers of fields and minor settlements, resulting in it being a key logistical node due to the many hardened roads running through it. This makes Velyka Novosilka a vital logistics hub to supply and sustain any future operations for either side.
To capture the town, Russians are avoiding direct assaults and urban combat by instead attempting to cut off key Ukrainian logistics routes leading into Velyka Novosilka. Russian forces already held physical control of two out of three logistics roads, leaving the Ukrainian garrison with only the road in the west running through Vremivka. As cutting off this road would allow the Russian forces to cut off all supplies and reinforcements to the Ukrainian garrison in the town, Vremivka became the main focus point of the Russian offensive.
If we look at the topographic map, we can see that Vremivka and Velyka Novosilka are located in the lowlands of the river valley, while the Russian forces in the north, east, south, and west maintain positions on much higher elevations. This allowed the Russian forces to enforce fire control over the Ukrainian garrison in Velyka Novosilka, and support any of their assaults from up the hill. The steep slope also gave Russians a large reconnaissance advantage, as their aviation and artillery intensely bombed the Ukrainian garrison in the town below. Lastly, the village of Vremivka is part of a larger agglomeration of settlements stretching to the south, allowing Russians to infiltrate through the settlements as well.
However, as you may remember, the agglomeration of villages south of Vremivka was the site of the Ukrainian 2023 counteroffensive, and the heavy fighting left the towns completely reduced to ruins, eliminating the cover advantage for the Russians. This allowed the Ukrainian forces to intensely target Russians moving into the town with artillery and drones. Furthermore, Russians had to cross wide open fields to reach Ukrainian positions, increasing their exposure to Ukrainian reconnaissance drones and artillery fire.
Geolocated combat footage from the area reveals the detection of over fourteen Russian stormtroopers by Ukrainian drone operators due to their exposure in the open fields. The Ukrainian drone operators relayed their coordinates to the crew of nearby artillery batteries, which swiftly reacted and shelled the Russian forces, thwarting their attack. This led to the destruction of the Russian infantry with all fourteen soldiers eliminated and no survivors left in this wave of attack. Other Russian forces that were not all detected and targeted by artillery shelling managed to enter the outskirts, only to be eliminated by drone strikes and Ukrainian small-arms fire.
Unfortunately, in the end, this wasn't enough to counteract the overwhelming Russian numerical advantage and tactically superior positions. Reports from Ukrainian soldiers on the ground indicate that Russians had a three-to-one advantage in terms of manpower and were shelling the town day and night. Russians were also able to fully utilize their positions on the high ground to support their assaults on Vreminka. After Vreminka fell, they managed to cut off most Ukrainian supplies into Velyka Novosilka, spelling the end for the Ukrainian garrison. As Russians intensified their assaults and started establishing footholds within the town, Ukrainians understood that the perimeter was breached. They conducted a full withdrawal, with a rear-guard action to prevent Russians from overrunning them.
Overall, despite the Ukrainians' best efforts, the Russians were able to leverage their numerical superiority in combination with their high-ground advantage to take Velyka Novosilka. The Ukrainian withdrawal was relatively successful, as Russians had dedicated most of their artillery support to target the entries to the town, allowing most Ukrainian groups to withdraw in good order. Despite the dynamic end of the battle of Velyka Novosilka, with Russians raising the flag over the town, western military analysts state that the front line will not collapse due to the difficult terrain and natural obstacles.
If you are against the invasion of Ukraine and you want to support the work that I am doing, consider...
