🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺US Intelligence Aids UKRAINE to carryout Drone Strikes on RUSSIAN Territory as Peace Talks Stall.
The US is providing intelligence to help Ukraine plan and execute drone attacks deep inside Russia, including routes to dodge air defenses.
At the same time, Russian negotiators are pushing hard for big Ukrainian concessions especially on territory, and US-brokered peace talks are unlikely to restart before late summer or even February 2027. Both sides remain far apart.

THE MYTH OF RUSSIAN “SOVEREIGNTY”: FROM WESTERN DEPENDENCY TO CHINESE VASSAL STATE! 🇷🇺🇨🇳📉
The Kremlin is burning through astronomical amounts of cash to sustain its war machine. At the same time, Russian state media regularly admits that the country is falling drastically behind technologically. The chasm between Russia and the West is widening by the day.
Putin’s primary defense for this systemic regression? “Well, at least we have become sovereign.”
BBC’s veteran Moscow correspondent, Steve Rosenberg, perfectly dismantled this desperate Kremlin paradox:
🔄 A Meaningless Achievement: Putin claims that Russia’s greatest triumph over the past four years is achieving “sovereignty.” But as Rosenberg sharply notes: Russia was already a fully independent, sovereign state before this ruinous war began.
🎭 The Illusion of Broken Chains: The regime pushes the narrative that Russia was far too dependent on the West, got “tricked,” and has now finally broken its chains. The structural data tells a completely different story.
🇨🇳 Total Dependency on the East: The economic links to the West are undeniably severed. However, Russia hasn’t become free—it has simply become entirely subservient to the East. Beijing now dictates the terms of Russian energy exports and tech dependencies.
My take:This is textbook geopolitical copism. When your own state television is forced to report that your technology is stagnating, and your domestic economy is facing an inevitable transportation paralysis, your only remaining option is to rebrand isolation as “independence.”
Russia hasn’t achieved sovereignty; it has successfully converted itself into a resource colony for China. They traded mutual trade with the West for a one-way dependency on Beijing. As Kyiv accelerates its deep operations and Europe secures the Eastern Flank with autonomous steel, Putin is left ruling a nation that has actively bartered away its technological future. The mathematics of attrition remain absolute! ⏳🦅#Nyhetsnerven #Russia #Putin #China #SteveRosenberg #MilitaryAnalysis #Geopolitics #EconomicCollapse

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦US vice president JD Vance claims Russia’s Offensive Gains “Almost Nothing” as Ukraine’s Defense Paves Way for Peace.
US Vice President JD Vance stated that Russia’s battlefield offensives are achieving very little despite heavy losses, while Ukraine’s defensive successes (avoiding costly attacks like in 2023) are weakening Russia and helping create conditions to end the war through diplomacy. He praised the shift to defense + drones as far more effective

x.com/UkrReview/status/20736…The Ukrainian Review (@UkrReview)❗️❗️NATO Secretary General faces challenges at Ankara summit as Trump demands “loyalty,” not just financial burden-sharing, – APTrump criticizes allies for spending too little of their budgets on defense. But now that these issues have been partially resolved, the new challenge for NATO is converting this money into concrete military capabilities amid the potential threat from Russia.
Furthermore, Trump previously stated that he might have skipped the upcoming meeting altogether if it had not been hosted by Erdoğan. This, as the AP notes, shows that even Erdogan and Rutte “will have to make a serious effort to keep the summit on course.”— https://x.com/UkrReview/status/2073682091326267856
