Ukraine's 2026 Strategy is Working
Russia just issued a warning that they're going to hit Kyiv hard. This comes as they struggle to advance or come anywhere near their war aims on the battlefield. This is due in large part to a strategy rolled out by Ukraine in 2026 to destroy Russian air defense, hamper their logistics, and eliminate record number of soldiers trying to attack. The Institute for the Study of War laid out a great summary of this today that can be found at the link below.

It is amazing that even as the terrorist state of Russia is losing the war, the vast majority of Russians still support the dictator Putin at almost 70%. How many more innocent civilian Ukrainian lives must be lost before they retreat back beyond their borders?
