🇷🇺 In a stark admission from within the occupied peninsula, retired Russian Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov—a prominent military figure and long-time ideologue of Russian imperialism—has raised the alarm over Moscow’s diminishing control, bluntly stating that “unfortunately, day by day, gradually, Crimea is ceasing to be ours.”
Ivashov, who is currently in occupied Crimea, expressed deep concern over the shifting reality on the ground. He warned that Russia’s hold on the region is eroding under the pressure of continuous Ukrainian operations and systemic structural failures.
Coming from a high-ranking military veteran and a traditionally staunch proponent of Russian geopolitical expansion, these remarks highlight growing anxiety within Russian nationalist and military circles regarding the long-term sustainability of the occupation.

Fedorov deserves enormous credit for turning Ukraine’s fortunes around with automation: deep strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, middle strikes to isolate Crimea and removing more Russian soldiers than Moscow can replace per month. He also personally appealed to Elon Musk to get SpaceX to deny the Russians access to Starlink, a decision that had an immediate impact on the battlefield. Sacking Fedorov would be a disaster in itself, but it’d also be seen as a regressive move among Ukraine allies in the Trump administration, of which there are precious few.Jimmy Rushton (@JimmySecUK)Removing Fedorov under current circumstances would be an incredibly poor decision, akin to Zelensky’s attempt to remove the independence of NABU and SAPO last summer, and would severely damage the perception of Ukraine internationally.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine’s recent campaign may have done more than just damage Russia’s economy/energy sector…
It could be bringing us closer to finding out whether Moscow’s ambitions REALLY end with Ukraine.
With refineries burning, fuel shortages growing, and key shipping routes disrupted, the pressure on the Kremlin is mounting.
And when backed into a corner, Putin has historically escalated rather than compromised.
Imagine a scenario where Russia picked a fight with a smaller NATO member, like Latvia or Lithuania.
It would likely start with deniable incursions, border incidents, cyberattacks, or the seizure of small pieces of territory, just enough to leave NATO arguing over whether Article 5 applies.
And that is where NATO’s biggest weakness comes in.
It doesn’t act by instinct; it acts by political consensus.
32 governments have to agree not only that an attack has occurred, but on how far they’re willing to go in response.
The more ambiguous the attack, the easier it becomes for national interests to pull that consensus apart.
If NATO hesitates, the frontline state faces an impossible choice: accept the instigations, or escalate on its own and hope help comes later.
Russia doesn’t need to defeat NATO militarily.
It just needs to prove that, when the costs become real, the alliance won’t agree on who should bear them.

Ukrainian forces have started to attack and destroy Russian shipping in the Black Sea under Operation MoLoChKa.
Overnight, Ukrainian attack drones hit 20 tankers, causing several catastrophic onboard fires, and beginning the process of fully denying Russia the Black Sea basin.
