“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.”

This pro-Ukraine propaganda will only prolong the war of attrition.

The Ruskie summer offensive failed, and the Ukies have been destroying Russia’s refineries. The Putler Regime may not last the winter.

Somewhere, Colonel Douglas MacGregor is telling anyone who will listen that the entire Ukrainian army is about to be cut off and surrounded with a week, and that NATO's own collapse is imminent.

Although "anyone who will listen" is likely down to whatever poor bartender in some dive bar is sufficiently desperate for tips to feign interest in MacGregor's ravings.

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported on September 26 that Ukrainian forces seized 168.8 square kilometers in the Dobropillya direction since August 2025 and have cleared another 187.7 square kilometers of Russian sabotage groups in the area.[54]"

I do see some Russian narrow advances of a few kilometers.

These are risky unless they can be reinforced.

The map shows a long Ukrainian advance.

How many years was the big USA in the small, backward Afghanistan? How many years was the 100 years war?

Maybe Putin can set a record for the longest war in history and find himself in the history books.

A Ukrainian girl shows off watermelons she grew in the Ternopil region.

The fact is that in Western Ukraine it was impossible to grow watermelons due to the cold climate. Watermelons grew in Kherson, Mykolaiv, Odesa. And now they grow in our country too due to climate change... pic.twitter.com/wK82Z6YNiT— Devana 🇺🇦 (@DevanaUkraine) September 25, 2025
