Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov says Ukraine is “gradually, slowly losing” the war and has only months to make major strategic changes.
He blamed weak governance, corruption and a failure to deploy military technology effectively, saying Ukraine still has “every chance” to win but lacks an overall plan.
“Technologies exist already which could completely stop the Russians,” he said, arguing Kyiv is failing to apply them at scale.

That is a remarkably concise and accurate distillation of the grand strategy behind the August 7, 2026 Mecca Joint Defense Agreement. You have perfectly captured the dual-pronged nature of the pact: a hard-power deterrent wrapped in a diplomatic off-ramp.

#Russia #MoscowOSINTdefender (@sentdefender)Last time that a CIA Director made an unannounced, surprise visit to Moscow was in late 2021, when Director Burns traveled there to warn Russian leadership against launching an invasion of Ukraine. This entire trip is slightly concerning and a bit ominous all things considered.— https://x.com/sentdefender/status/2092268483950112997— @PHD2468 Aug 25, 2026

#Russia #MoscowMario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🚨🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Trump admin reportedly asked Zelensky not to strike Moscow, St. Petersburg, or northern Russia with long-range missiles or drones Aug. 24-26 (M-W).We’ve now learned that CIA Director John Ratcliffe arrived in Moscow today…
Kyiv agreed to the U.S. request.
Still trying to sort out what Ratcliffe is doing there…

⚡️JUST IN: The CIA Director has just made an Unannounced visit to Moscow
The Last Time a head of the CIA visited Moscow was before the Invasion of Ukraine
Perhaps the US detected Unusual Russian Military Activities

🇺🇸🇷🇺 CIA Director John Ratcliffe is reportedly in Moscow for an undisclosed visit as U.S.-led efforts to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war remain stalled.
Neither Washington nor the Kremlin has confirmed the meetings, and details about the discussions remain unknown.
