From "The Analyst":
RUSSIA EXPECTS TO WIN BY MID 2026
The Russians have laid out their overall strategic intention to have reached their objectives in a decisive victory by the middle of 2026.
In an oddly frank playing out of the challenges, including manpower issues and state budgets, they believe that by that time they have acquired the land they want the war can be concluded on their terms by mid-2026.
There was no talk of conquering Ukraine, but securing the ‘annexed’ oblasts in full seems to be the aim, even though they’re nowhere near some of the objectives or likely even capable of taking cities like Zaporhizia and Dnipro.
While the Russians are saying things like this, Forbes magazine in the US highlighted that the new Ukrainian brigades are being equipped with vehicles from the 1960’s and 1970’s, because no newer equipment is available.
American aid is now only being released in smaller tranches and while a few vehicles are being supplied here and there, no major vehicle donations have been made in an age. They need hundreds of M2 Bradley’s yet only a couple of dozen are sent at a time if that.
It’s difficult to understand quite what game the Americans are playing.
Ammunition for the army seems to be adequate. Air defence missiles are subject to logjams of production.
Yet there is no surge of weapons to Ukraine even as it fights for its life in the central front regions.
Elsewhere the Russians are waging their asymmetric war not just against infrastructure but against bloggers and journalists - this was highlighted a month or so ago. A Daily Telegraph journalist on holiday in Gibraltar who ran a successful pro-Ukraine blog, died suddenly and anti-terrorist police have been called in to investigate.
The FSB stated it was going to go after influential influencers and those who helped raise money for Ukrainian drone operators and so on.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!

❌On September 11, 1969, Mustafa Dzhemilev, an activist of the Crimean Tatar national movement, was arrested by the KGB.
At that time, Mustafa was one of the founders of the Human Rights Protection Initiative Group. An activist of the Crimean Tatar movement, a dissident, a political prisoner, who later became a national hero and led the movement of Crimean Tatars for repatriation.
He was convicted in January 1970 under Article 190-1 to 3 years in prison. He devoted his whole life to the national struggle, and was tried for the first time in 1966, then in 1970, 1974, 1976, 1979, 1983 and the last time - in 1986.
The movement of the Crimean Tatars for the return to Crimea was the most massive dissident movement in the USSR - the actions of this movement alone numbered hundreds of thousands of participants. He played a major role in the fight against Soviet totalitarianism.
Knight of the Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise IV and V degrees, the Order "For Intellectual Courage" and the Order of the Republic of Turkey, laureate of the award: Fritjof Nansen of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Pylyp Orlyk "For the Democratization of Ukrainian Society", "Light of Justice" and "Solidarity", the owner of the "Cross of Solidarity of Struggle".
He is an honorary doctor of law from Seljuk University and the Higher Institute of Technology, an honorary doctor in the field of international relations from Canakkale University named after the Eighteenth of March, an honorary citizen of the Turkish cities of Kastamonu and Kirikkale. Poland nominated Mustafa Dzhemilev for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.
Currently, Mustafa Dzhemilev is a People's Deputy of Ukraine from the "European Solidarity" party. He is a supporter of the European and Euro-Atlantic integration of Ukraine, the establishment of the fundamental principles of democracy in Ukrainian society, which is the basis for the restoration of the rights of the Crimean Tatar people, who will once again return to their historical land — Crimea — a constituent part of the Ukrainian state.
