Ok, so lets see what the empire currently thinks. From ‘Business Insider’:
 

• Detailed Summary:
  • Ukraine’s escalating campaign of deep-strike attacks against Russian oil refineries and energy facilities is yielding significant results, according to Ukrainian officials.
  • President Zelenskyy stated that Russia is experiencing a fuel shortage, with gasoline availability down by approximately 20%, and has begun drawing from diesel reserves.
  • A Ukrainian security source indicated that nearly 40% of Russia’s refinery capacity is now “idle” due to these attacks, impacting its ability to fund the war.
  • Ukraine is primarily using domestically produced missiles and drones for these strikes, having invested heavily in its own weapons manufacturing capabilities to overcome reliance on Western supplies and restrictions.
  • The Russian oil and gas sector is a vital source of income for the Kremlin, contributing approximately 20% to Russia’s GDP on average, making it a key target for Ukraine.
  • Since August, there have been at least 24 documented attacks on Russian oil refineries, demonstrating Ukraine’s growing capability to strike high-value targets deep within Russian territory, over 800 miles away in some instances.
  • These strikes are seen as a strategic advantage for Ukraine, weakening Russia’s war machine and preventing the conflict from being fought solely on Ukrainian soil, especially amidst static front lines.
  • While Russia also conducts deep strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian areas, the impact on Ukraine’s ability to generate national income is not comparable to the effect of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy revenue.

The empire (based on narco-Fuhrer estimates, itself a red flag) thinks 40% of Russian refining is down,  gasoline availability down 20% and Russian ‘war machine is in tatters’ (now where and from whom did I hear that before, hmm?).
 
Meanwhile (as per Marat’s post) indicates through videos from Russia, there are no shortages of fuels, there are 32 major and 80 minor refineries with a total capacity of 370 million tons per year, Russia has mechanisms to reduce export of fuel while reducing tax on companies as compensation. The market is developing new sort of refinery solutions (smaller refinery units) while protections against drones with large metal fences and cages (drones can’t penetrate a thick enough web, and they are ‘dumb drones’).
 
All of that ‘gasoline finished, tapping into diesel reserves’ seems to be just another wishy washy thinking.

ELECTRIC WAR ON THE UKRAINE BATTLEFIELD IS TURNING THE LIGHTS ON IN THE KREMLIN
https://johnhelmer.org/electric-war-on-the-ukraine-battlefield-is-turning-the-lights-on-in-the-kremlin/#more-72085
==============================
 
I know many here are dismissive of  John Helmer but then again, many here are dismissive of anybody who does not share the entirety of their particular world view even when the dismissed person is saying something the dismissive commenter agrees with.  It’s part & parcel with high-school-kool stuff, many here had it dished to them and like so many before them, the now seek to dish. 
 
But back to John Helmer’s post; whatever the dismissive commenter may say, if he is correct in this dispatch, he put’s out some interesting information in this dispatch.  I found a couple of lines of great interest.
1] Putin once again reiterates his lack of interest and reason for Russia not gaining more territory.  The ashcan of history is full of empires that overextended themselves.  It is sound reasoning but, poor negotiating/military strategy as it tells your opposite number he has nothing to fear by going up the escalation ladder.  This quiet confidence European leaders have, in spite their rhetoric to the contrary ,needs to be removed…in it’s entirely, they must live in fear.  The Soviets made European leaders fear for their lives and they performed much better as a result, internally and externally.  There is no reason why Putin can not incorporate the Russian regions of ex-ukrainia into Russia, the Black Sea Coast to Transnistria and environs and to the Dnieper in the North.  Let the Dnieper & Dniester form natural barriers.  If the Rump state of ex-ukraina, which is sure to be dominated by the modern day Waffen SS, plays nice, then they can export the crops from Blackrock lands through the Dnieper, if not, then nyet.  Let the Galicians, feel the whip at both ends, it’s their past and it seems they like it…as they, with their own hands, made it their future.
 
2] The slow escalation of Russia has been driven, as many here suspected, by Putin himself.  The Russian military would have gone much sooner and further up the escalation ladder.  Such sentiments are in agreement with mine, though I think of Putin as one of the greatest leaders in 500 years, perhaps more.  But to balance my agreement with the General Staff on military matters I pity Russians should Russia’s military reassert itself as the preeminent power in  Russian society.  Why?  Briefly, to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. 
 
The hidden powers in the “west” that have brought us to this point; where a great man might be pushed aside, as Gorbachov was, by the Russian military will rue the day they let Satan talk them into this Faustian bargain.  A far better bargain would have been made with Russia rather than siding with Satan against it.  There is still time but, the day grows short, the lilliputian minds of western “leaders” have idle hands that the devil seeks to fill.  Russia/Putin must feared before they will be respected.  Winning a war is very different than imposing a peace, Russia, more so than any country, should know the consequence of confusing the two outcomes.

Is it a conscript mobilisation scheme or an extortion racket?

How much does it cost to pay off the army in Ukraine
 
Here, a representative of the National Guard of Ukraine burst into revelations, telling about the prices for those mobilized in case of an attempt at Russification.
 
What are the prices?
 
€500 (48 thousand rubles) is enough to buy off a [TCC] employee who grabbed his hand.
 
€1,000 (96 thousand rubles) is if you have already been dragged onto the bus.
 
€10,000 (968,000 rubles) is the minimum purchase amount if you have already started applying for documents.
 
€15,000 (1.4 million rubles) must be paid to leave the military enlistment office.
 
He also did not tell us how much Ukrainian citizens pay for the opportunity to travel abroad. As of the beginning of 2025, the price was about 20 thousand euros. Perhaps it is higher now.
 
Such a scenario is not surprising, since for the [TCC] of Ukraine there is nothing more important than plans, and they take everyone. As practice has shown, even cats[*], though not to the front.
 
And there are a lot of smart entrepreneurs among them who have never seen such money in their lives before. But then there was an opportunity to profit.
 
Against this background, it looks very funny that the citizens of Ukraine pay thousands of euros to pay off, and the employees of the Kiev McDonald’s simply receive a reservation. Because American business must work.

Due to your TDS you can’t even recognise who Trump’s playing against, hint: it’s not Putin. To put it another way, Trump is well aware that Putin is very conversant with the US GLCM’s capabilities and limitations, which is more than can be said about some Western and Ukrainian puppet-politicians and their ‘advisors’. 
As for the game, Trump’s not so much playing Poker now, but Bridge, (pun intended), where he’s false-carding to fool the opposition who are, like you, consistently underestimating him.

The “shadow market” of bribes of the shopping mall has exceeded 100 billion per year – the deputy of the Rada. Police officers from the shopping center annually collect more than one hundred billion hryvnias from citizens, which then end up in the pockets of corrupt officials.
 
This was stated at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada by the former accomplice of the dictator, and now a simple deputy Dmitry Razumkov, the correspondent of “PolitNavigator” reports.
 
“The shadow market for “not joining the army” today is 2 billion 100 million euros. That is, we are talking about more than 100 billion hryvnias. It settles in someone’s pocket.
 
And you’re covering this process. Therefore, either you are with them together, or you pretend that this is not the case,” the deputy was indignant.
 
“You can see what is happening today with the mobilization in general. You have a lot of resources. And all because you don’t vote on terms of service, you don’t vote on rotation, you don’t vote on additional vacations, you don’t vote on benefits for our defenders, but you vote for the extension of the indulgence according to SOCH.
 
What numbers did you manage to get to today? How many people are wanted in your country?” the deputy was indignant.
 
Earlier it was reported that on average, one in three horsemen becomes a deserter, and the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine published statistics that 250,000 cases of awol and desertion have been opened.

🇵🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺Another statement from the Polish authorities about their unwillingness to extradite to Germany the Ukrainian Vladimir Zhuravlev, suspected of sabotaging the Nord Streams.
Following Prime Minister Tusk, the head of the National Security Bureau, Sławomir Cenckiewicz, spoke out against the extradition, reports Polsatnews.
“Poland should not lend a hand to any operation to extradite a person who harmed Russia. We need to find a formula whereby we remain within the legal framework and at the same time do not hand over to the Germans or Russians a person who harmed the Russian military machine. In my opinion, this person should not have been detained at all. The Polish state should have refused to cooperate in this matter,” Cenckiewicz said.

Weird stuff going on here…Poland v Germany as posted before.
 
According to multiple media reports, to hunt down the Russian submarine, the RAF launched least eight P-8A Poseidon flights from its Lossiemouth air base in Scotland, the RNoAF carried out sorties from its Evenes Air Base near Narvik within the Arctic Circle, and the US Navy also launched patrols from Iceland, while two additional anti-submarine warfare (ASW) P-8 aircraft were redeployed from Sicily, Italy.
Despite this extensive mobilization of resources, NATO forces were unable to locate the Russian submarine, according to The National Interest.
However, notwithstanding the abject failure of NATO forces in locating the Russian submarine, what is even more concerning is the fact that the submarine was able to operate so close to the US Navy aircraft carrier.
Apparently, the submarine was so close that it could have targeted one of the US Navy’s most expensive and advanced aircraft carriers with its long-range precision weapons and overwhelmed the carrier’s defenses. The carrier was so vulnerable that it was even within the striking range of the submarine’s torpedoes.
The operation of Russian submarines so close to the US Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier sends multiple strategic messages: first, that Russia is not deterred by the presence of the US Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier near the Russian border.
Meanwhile, the Nerpicha Russian Naval Base in the Litsa Fjord, where all three of Russia’s Yasen-class and Yasen-M-class submarines are usually docked, is just 60 kilometers from Russia’s border with Norway.
In fact, as shown by satellite imagery, all three Russian submarines were not present at the base during the last week of August when NATO forces launched a massive hunt for them.Secondly, and more worryingly, the whole episode shows that even the US Navy’s most advanced carriers are vulnerable to Russian submarines.

So far, Russia has refrained from using the harshest tools of strategic economic pressure on the US. The supply of “Tomahawks” could provoke the Kremlin to stop enriched uranium deliveries: about 100 nuclear reactors in the US, producing up to 20% of the country’s electricity, have operated (and continue to operate) on Russian uranium. The cessation of supplies could potentially critically impact US energy security.

I keep wondering about the Dneiper river freezing over, especially the drained Kharkova reservoir.  Perhaps it is still too early for the Russians to use it as an attack vector.  If they get a permanent bridgehead behind the Dneiper river…  This time around drone resupply and FAB bombing might make for a permanent incursion.
The threat of blowing the Kharkova dam and damaging Kherson bridges was a reason that led to the Russian right bank Kherson retreat.  NATO may not be able to blow the dams upstream due to the flooding damage to Zaporhizye and Dneipro.  The Zaporhizye dam serves as one of two city bridges.
 
At the least, UKrain would have to garrison troops around the drained reservoir.

“Just from memory, Turkey lost out big time after shooting down the Russian plane…there was the attempted coup in Turkey, which Putin conveniently stopped, via pre-warning, saving Erdogan’s life”   – Watcher 48
 
I agree with you that Turkey lost Russian tourists and produce sales for while but, it’s not quite clear, how saving Erdogan’s ass shortly after he stabbed Russia in the back make Turkey “lose big time“?   I think the “coup-attempt” was Langley making sure Erdogan “understood” the role he was to play in aiding Israel overthrow of Assad.  Yes, the US paid for Israel’s conquest of Syria but, as I have mention before, the US/Langley does what it told to do by Israel/Israeli-Americans.  In spite of what many believe, the US is subservient to foreign powers.
 
As for Turkey, all my life I’ve watched that country make trouble where there was none.  Every Turkish boy and girl is indoctrinated to yearn for the days of Ottoman Empire and their rule over eastern Europe; this national madness is no different than the “Greater Israel Project”.  Right now, Turkey arms Kosovo.  And the Croats, lacking any common sense, are aiding the Turks Ottomans return to power.  Behind this the English, always the English.  Intervening in eastern Europe was the proximate cause for two world-wars but that just isn’t enough is it?  No, for England’s-uppermost-crust, there must be more*!
 
*Blaise Metreweli, MI-6 Chief, the Ukrainian granddaughter of a butchering Nazi- quisling who’s cruelty appalled German SS…”has a personal connection to Turkey, her father worked as a radiologist there…she has expressed a strong bond with the country, and wants to resume the once strong relationship Britain [England] had with the Ottoman Empire” As I said; the proximate cause of two world wars and England’s uppermost-crust wants to give it another go.  Lovely.

If the fundamentally superior West in terms of resources wants to march against [Russia], then we will destroy the parade base. And this will lead to massive attacks against any usable infrastructure in the Baltic republics and in eastern Poland, as is now being done in Ukraine.”
He added:
“Recount on the use of 200 to 250 nuclear warheads in a war, if the West should really send itself to march its superior resources against Russia.”
When he explained this to a Swiss government politician, she “did not like to hear it”. But that is his assessment of the situation. If NATO attacks as a whole, the war will be nuclear from the beginning

I agree and worry that the current puppets and their masters feel they must use nukes in some way as they lose their empire…..and that the results won’t be too bad and maybe they can cow everyone and carry on.

Ukrainian force equipment trashed as they try to flee from the Pokrovsk cauldron – no escape.

It is interesting that you mentioned Poland. There was a prophecy yesterday by Brandon Biggs where he talked of missile attack on Moscow and global escalation including Taiwan. Poland heavily damaged, also lot of EU nations.

Disguised vertical launch cells for cruise missiles are photographed during delivery…

Due to the lack of water in the center of the capital, the building of the Cabinet of Ministers was quickly provided with portable toilets
 

This is reported by RegioNews with reference to people’s Deputies.
 
“We continue our report on the life of the government quarter after the water supply was damaged in Kiev. Bio toilets were brought to the government, ” Iryna Gerashchenko said.

Also, according to her, near the Verkhovna Rada there is now a tank-car with potable water for the needs of the parliament.
 
During the meeting, the European Solidarity faction addressed Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko with a question about the timing of the restoration of water supply, which was damaged as a result of Russian attacks.
 
Mrs. Prime Minister assured that by the evening water in Kiev should appear.

The Battle Of Portaloo…

Crucial missiles for Ukraine are months ahead of their delivery schedule, as the Minister for Defence Readiness and Industry, Luke Pollard, led a UK trade delegation visit to Kyiv.

• Hundreds of air defence missiles delivered five months early, with production creating UK jobs.
• Follows Ukraine’s largest drone producer investing £200m to build drones in Britain, creating 500 jobs.
• Comes as the UK leads trade delegation to Kyiv to increase military support for Ukraine.

The missiles, manufactured in Belfast are used to defend Ukraine’s airspace and have been delivered five months ahead of schedule under the UK gifting programme. The same weapons, known as Lightweight Multirole Missiles (LMM), have offered Ukraine protection against threats since Russia launched its illegal invasion in February 2022.
The announcement comes as Belfast based Thales moves to the next phase of work with their Ukrainian partners. The latest phase of a £1.6 billion deal signed earlier in the year will enable those battle winning missiles to be integrated further into Ukraine’s air defence system, in a significant step for Ukraine’s own sovereign capabilities.
The ongoing missile manufacturing work in the UK is directly creating 200 jobs as well as supporting a further 700 existing roles, driving economic growth and delivering on the Government’s Plan for Change.

Another episode of aggro in the ongoing antagonism between Zelensky and Klitschko:

️ Zelenskyy accused Klitschko of damaging Kyiv’s energy facilities
▪️The Fuhrer says he is dissatisfied with the defense of the thermal power plant in the Ukrainian capital.
 
“If we take Kyiv, there are Thermal Power Plants 5 and 6. The issue isn’t just about air defense. We can’t use Patriot missiles against drones. What questions can you ask the mayor? I could tell you what I think about all this right now, but I won’t, because we’re all fighting the same war. Therefore, I won’t offer negative compliments to those people who are completely incapable of doing anything,” he said.
