Today, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that Russian forces have liberated Mykolaivka… but they ‘forgot’ to specify which one. 🧐

There is an extremely high probability that tomorrow will be a very difficult and eventful day for all of humanity.
Trump may say something critical about Russia.
Zelensky could strike Moscow with German long-range missiles.
Or perhaps the Russians will finally snap and start destroying bridges across the Dnieper.

Vladimir Putin is aware of possible new sanctions from the United States and is prepared for such a development, The New York Times reports. According to the publication, the Russian president admits that Donald Trump may take a tougher stance on the Ukrainian issue.
"Vladimir Putin was prepared for Trump's patience to run out and did not rule out new restrictive measures against Russia," the sources note.
At the same time, according to the NYT, the Kremlin is satisfied with the current level of contacts with the American leader. Putin believes that hostilities in Ukraine will continue unless Kiev makes serious concessions. He is also convinced that Ukraine's defense may weaken in the coming months, which, in turn, could change the US strategy and its policy in the region.
A very sound analysis. We are in a strong position, we do not need to ask anyone for anything, unlike Trump. His pressure is due to his inability to influence Putin. He is simply trying to at least outwardly imitate the influence of a "hegemon."

The Russian summer offensive has not happened. Despite favorable weather and abundant resources, the action is localized and small scale.
That suggests that the Russian leadership considers a big offensive silly in an environment where there are several times more drones than soldiers.
Given that that imbalance is likely to become still more extreme over time, Russia will have no choice but to resume the electric war, cutting all power is the only way to halt Ukraine's drone factories.
That suggests that 2025 is a lost year for the SMO. No results can be expected until Ukraine is industrially prostrate, probably at least a year away at the earliest.
