Ukraine: Long-range Campaign Fails As Russia Hits Back
My plans for today were to write a longer piece about the military situation in Ukraine, but personal maintenance issues interfered with that.
The bullet-point version:
— Two major agglomerations have moved under Russian control:

The battles for Chasov Yar and Kostiantynivka ended simultaneously. 🇷🇺🇺🇦
After 9 months of fighting, the city of Kostiantynivka fell under the control of Russian army. This Russian victory has, however, overshadowed another victory of equal significance. After 27 months of fighting, the town of Chasov Yar was completely captured by Russian forces.
This battle, which appeared to be drawing to a close in August 2025, dragged on for several more months, with counter-attacks and infiltrations by Ukrainian forces in the western districts.
Whilst it seemed that the capture of Chasov Yar, situated on higher ground, would allow for a swift conquest of Kostiantynivka, situated on lower ground, it was ultimately the capture of Kostiantynivka that severed the supply lines to Chasov Yar and thus led to the withdrawal of the last Ukrainian soldiers from the town over the past few days.

— Ukraine’s campaign against Russia in the Black Sea has left a landlocked country
Ukraine, with the help of U.S. and British intelligence, had launched a massive campaign against all Russia related shipping in the Black Sea. In a counter-campaign Russia has blocked Odessa and every other outlet to the sea that Ukraine had left. Any ship going to or from Ukraine was and will be attacked.
Ukraine is now landlocked. There will no longer be any sea borne export of Ukrainian crops or metals. Any arms import by sea has ended.

One of the largest iron ore producers in Ukraine, Yuzhny GOK, is partially stopping work due to Russian attacks on civilian merchant ships.
This is stated in a statement on the official website of the company.
According to the company, in July, at least 12 civilian ships came under Russian missile strikes, which led to the complication of maritime logistics.
Due to the risks to crews, shipowners suspended voyages to Ukrainian ports. As a result, shipments of iron ore prepared for export have accumulated in the ports and warehouses of Southern GOK.
Due to the inability to ship products, the company is reducing production. …
— Ukraine’s 40-day pressure campaign against Russia has disabled Ukraine’s transport network
In mid June Ukraine had launched a 40-day campaign to “increasing pressure on Russia and pushing Moscow toward ending its war against Ukraine”. Drones were sent to hit hit Russian refineries and, more recently, civilian warehouse infrastructure.
Russia’s response included the destruction of up to a 100 of Ukrainian locomotives. Nova Posta, the official logistic provider for the Ukrainian army, has seen its warehouses destroyed. Some 200 Ukrainian gas station on major roads in eastern Ukraine were attacked and destroyed. Anyone who wants to move in eastern Ukraine has to fill the trunk with canisters as it has become impossible to find a working gas station.
After 30-days of the 40-day campaign have passed, the judgement is in (machine translation):
There was no equalization of opportunities and a turning point in the war: Russia has had and still has an advantage in fire capabilities.
This was stated in a video message by the mobilized editor-in-chief of the Censor publication Yurii Butusov.
“Russia has had such an opportunity from the first day of the war. Russia has destroyed and is destroying our infrastructure, unfortunately, on a much larger scale than we do. Previously, we did not have the opportunity to respond at all, now we do. But this does not mean that our strikes, which are very spectacular, are in themselves a sign of some kind of turning point. […],” Butusov said.
— Several large scale missile attacks have destroyed Ukraine’s long-range drone industry.
Most of the industry was settled in and around Kiev. New missile attacks are expected to arrive during the next days.
All together the recent media campaign which depicted Ukraine on the verge of gaining the upper hand against Russia was just that.
Reality painted a different picture.
Ukrainian nazis and corrupt traitors made an anti-democracy coup and started a war because they wanted NATO, but all that Russia allows them is FAFO.
Ahahahahah!
Every single time, Russia wants peace and no escalatiom, but the Washington DC pigs and their European piglets refuse peace and escalate… by ordering their puppets in Kiev to refuse peace and escalate.
And every single time Ukraine ends up worse, with more destroyd stuff (that Russia refused to destroy before), and fewer territory (that Russia didn’t want, and I remind you that in the name of peace, Russia even refused the Donbass independence referendum results in 2015, so that it could instead sign thr Minsk peace agreements).
If there was ever any doubt, the main condition to be a nazi fascist, or a corrupt traitor on Washington DC’s payment list, is to be a total and complete idiot.
The entire Collective West might look more and more like the movie “Idiocracy”, but Ukraine goes further and becomes a 24/7 “Dumb & Dumber” movie.
I just still don’t understand why Russia and China still refuse to attaxk USA’s military bases and navy directly.
Especially after USA, israel, and Ukraine, all together, are attacking Iran in the Caspian Sea, which is a direct attack against BRICS, against BRI (Belt & Road Initiative, from China), and against INSTC (International North South Transport Corridor, from Russia).
What are Russia and China waiting for?
For Russia, it would be totally justified to sink USA’s armada, after USA ordered the nazis to destroy the Russian Black Sea fleet (that is now afraid to even get out of the Novorossisk port).
And for China, well, it’s obviously a defensive attack, to secure its trade in Hormuz, and sink the pigs before they travel East to militarily blockade the Malacca Straight and wage proxy war in the South China Sea.
Seriously, what am I missing?
Why isn’t that the best course of action? For China and Russia to do combined attacks with Iran, and together sink the entire USA armada, and annihilate their military bases all over Asia!
USA will keep being the aggressor that constantly threatens and escalates.
So, wouldn’t it be better to teach USA a lesson by destroying its projection power?
Perhaps next there would also be conditions for Russia and China and Iran to liberate Venezuela and make sure Cuba has enough deterrence to make the pigs get out of Guantanamo, under the real threat of completely taking Miami out of the map…
Hitler could not be negotiated with.
USrael is worse than Nazi Germany.
So why so much diplomacy and patience and passivity now?!
One of these days, Russian Foreign Minister, Mr Lavrov, said that USatan wants more nuclear armed countries all around Russia and China. In the same week the pig Trump signed a nuclear deal with with the zionist islamic state and dictatorship of Saudi Arabia…
Could it be that Russian and Chinese intell have serious concerns that the lunatics in Washington DC are getting ready for a proxy war with nuclewr weapons, completely sacrificing USA’s vassals?
Well, if that’s so, it does NOT change what I said: USatan just keeps escalating all the time, so it’s better to defeat that entity before it escalates too much.
Unless Russia and China are calculating a better timing where USatan is even more over-extended and more indebted and under the pressure of even greater dedollarization.
If China is waiting for USatan to be the one first activating the proxy war in Taiwan/Philippines, and Russia is waiting for the NATO vassals to shoot first, and Iran is waiting for even more destruction caused by the zionist genocidal entity, then I would say that they are waiting too much and that plan (although only theoretically more peaceful in the current stage) is much riskier than acting right now.
Sure, there will be a moment when Europe has no energy, not enough food, populations even more angered against their NON representative regimes, even more de-industrialisation (because of a similiar approach to sanctions against China as they do right now against Russia ans Iran), and Europeans no longer tolerating any ties with the Washington DC and israeli pigs.
But how much NATO/Pentagon sponsored destruction and CIA/Mossad sponsored terrorism will the world have to endure (ex: the total genocide of Palestinians, war in Cuba, etc) until the West is rotten enough?
Russia and China are playing a very dangerous patience game.
