Approximately six days from now I will share a great deal of information on World War Reddit. I took the insert picture about a week ago as a Ukraine drone struck a venue 500 meters from my location. Suffice to say, I’m not reporting information to you based on propaganda media, seriously skewed alt-media or misinterpreted/intercepted Telegram channel discussion; there’s an information war on that platform also.
Almost everything being told, shared and sold about the Russia vs Ukraine conflict is entirely made-up nonsense that has zero basis in reality. My goal has been to find out why there is this much effort toward twilight-zone level propaganda being pushed by unified interests in western media. Honestly, it’s beyond crazy.
According to Ukraine/NATO media, and probably soon to be shared by President Trump, “Russia suffered 42,860 battlefield casualties in July, its highest monthly losses since January 2025.” This type of stuff is so far beyond silly no one can figure out where they come up with the ideas for the rates.
In media headlines you might have read that Ukraine is celebrating the biggest launch of drones against Russia in a single day, Sunday. The Russian media counter by saying they have shot down 822 drones, with 600 of them targeting the Russian capital of Moscow.
Inside Russia, none of this stuff is happening; however, the govt of Putin finds some sort of purpose/value (personally I think it is just Russian humor) in countering the Ukraine nonsense by accepting the claim and then reiterating it in their claims of interception.
It’s all an illusion. First, the illusion makes it look like Russia is under bombardment (western happy), and then the Federation flips the script (it is indeed a script) and uses the claim as evidence of their exceptional capabilities at interception of the non-existent.
If you are suddenly cross-eyed, yes, that’s the level of crazy I’m talking about.
(VIA CBS) – Ukraine launched hundreds of drones across Russia Sunday, killing at least six people in one of Kyiv’s largest aerial attacks of the war.
Russia’s Ministry of Defense said that it had destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight. Some 600 drones were detected headed toward the Russian capital, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, with a third of those destroyed over the Moscow region itself.
An 83-year-old man was killed after a Ukrainian drone hit a private home in the Moscow region, local Gov. Andrey Vorobyov said. He also confirmed that a Ukrainian attack had sparked a blaze at a Wildberries warehouse in the town of Podolsk.
A drone attack targeted three towns in Russia’s southwestern Rostov region, killing five people, local Gov. Yury Slyusar said. The attack, with more than 150 drones, damaged several homes and a railway station and sparked a forest fire.
Kyiv has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year, with long-range missiles and swarms of drones increasingly targeting military industries and energy facilities. It has also increasingly pummeled giant Wildberries depots, burning billions of dollars’ worth of merchandise belonging to the Russian online retail giant and bringing the war home to the Russian public nearly four and half years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It is accurate that Ukraine drones have hit about a half dozen Wildberries distribution centers. Think about Wildberries as if you combined Amazon with E-Bay. What would life be like in America if a dozen (out of 1,300) Amazon distribution centers caught fire? Well, that’s the sum of the disruption.
All those stories of gasoline refineries taken offline(?). More nonsense.
Gasoline shortages(?), total gibberish – beyond silly.
Beyond the overstated drone attacks all this stuff about military industrial centers, energy facilities and infrastructure being damaged is non-existent. So, why is this such a common thing to read about? Factually, I have no idea. It’s like me telling you that right now there’s a gorilla in your bathtub playing chess, and all your neighbors believe it.
Somewhere there is also a story about a new FP-9 Ukraine ballistic missile about to go into operation (next 60 days). They are supposedly working out an issue with the rocket engines. However, where they are being built is not easy to determine. All indications are in Europe somewhere.
The FP-9 is part of a rushed missile and defense system from a company called Fire Point {citation} that is hoped to replace the missing U.S. Patriot Missile (defense) and Tomahawk missile (offense) that Ukraine and Germany have desperately been seeking. As the story is told, the funding comes from Ukraine, the targeting system from Germany and the build operations are taking place somewhere unknown.
I don’t have it all figured out yet, but from what is visible on the surface is there appears to be a plan to drag out the conflict as long as possible, often with as outlandish claims as needed, in order to structure some kind of narrative that will eventually bring Europe -maybe NATO- into a direct combat operation against the Russian Federation.
Two Ukrainian Warriors defended their position just 30 meters from Russian forces for more than five months.
They took up the position in February. The relative calm lasted only a month; for the rest of the time, Russians regularly assaulted their dugout.

This is not just a missile.
It is Ukraine's entry into the strategic leagueLook at that beauty — FP‑9, Ukraine’s home‑grown ballistic missile.
Suspended like a predator ready to strike. Not a prototype anymore. A promise.
And the promise is clear: The first ballistic strikes… pic.twitter.com/ACfUSMYLlw— Jarl Finland (@jalle51) August 16, 2026

I don’t think Ukraine was prepared for the consequences
that came after the strikes on Russian territory…now they
are scrambling to find a way outta the country to deliver the
grain with no transportation available. And I surmise that
the horse and cart are for the Ukrainian citizens to escape
while a route ‘might’ still be open to leave the barrage that
is happening daily.
Hawks in Moscow were always deeply unhappy that Putin limited attacks on Odessa and did not impose a blockade on Ukrainian ports. Putin had to balance many considerations and was under pressure from the Global South to keep Ukrainian agricultural exports flowing. However, the Ukraine/NATO 40-day campaign of deep strikes into Russia and attacks on its civilian vessels changed everything. There are no more restraints on Putin, as few in the Global South would expect Russia not to retaliate. Now that Ukraine is, de facto, a landlocked country, why is there zero reflection on that decision? Is it also “pro-Russian propaganda” to point out self-inflicted harm?
Poland, Hungary and Slovakia have import bans on Ukrainian grain, and the status quo is unlikely to change.
Russia launched a missile strike on Ukrlandfarming’s grain elevator in the Sumy region, causing the company to completely halt operations, according to a statement from the agricultural holding.
Kyiv asked the European Commission for €220 million last week to help its farmers weather the disruption.
The non-repayable grant would subsidize bank loans, allowing small- and medium-sized farms to hold on to their grain until shipping resumes rather than sell at a loss. A Commission spokesperson confirmed receiving the request but did not say whether Brussels would provide the money.
But money can only buy time. The bigger problem is getting ships back into Ukraine’s ports.
Ukraine wants help from EU countries as Black Sea missile strikes choke its grain exports.
But the bloc’s capitals fear the ire of their own farmers.
Everyone forgets Russia has a GIANT nuclear arsenal! It’s just a matter of time till Putin feels dissed! 💁🏻♀️
not only a GIANT arsenal, but atm are using older war machines…while holding back the more modern inventions to use against a more aggressive enemy. EX: EU, NATO, and many other countries that will engage.
It’s always about the money. Ukraine inflates figures for Russian casualties to encourage its donors to send more money, including the U.S. We justify the donations by repeating the false stats of Ukraine apparently winning.
The Russians want their soldiers and civilians properly disturbed, so they inflate reports of Ukrainian drones being shot down. The Ukrainians lie: that does not disturb me. The Russians lie: nor does that disturb me. However, when our Secretary of State repeats the Ukrainian lies verbatim, that disturbs me.
Good ole Mike. If he’s involved you know the grift is strong.
“Ukraine on Fire”is a documentary worth the watch.
I could only find the trailer.

“According to Ukraine/NATO media, and probably soon to be shared by President Trump, Russia suffered 42,860 battlefield casualties in July, its highest monthly losses since January 2025. This type of stuff is so far beyond silly…”
This seems, to me, to imply that PDJT is either ignorant of or complicit with the deception. Of these two choices, only the latter appears plausible, but it is confounding.
Did I misread or misunderstand the intended message? Will the clarity emerge within the commentary revealed in approximately six days?
Asked with great respect.
Ukraine has used propaganda to inflate Russian losses to gain support in this war. I have watched the release of numbers and they magically stay close to the same amount of deaths for the Russian forces, but Ukraine only mentions children and grandparents when they release Ukraine deaths. That being said, the exchange of bodies is more accurate…but Ukraine refuses to accept the bodies to avoid paying compensation to the families of the victims.
According to Col MacGregor Russian KIA stands at 400,000. Ukraine KIA stands at 1.4M-1.8M. On sundance’s X post there is an entry about Ukraine claiming to have killed 50K Russians in one month. Not possible.
Russia’s annual production of shells, mortar rounds, and rockets is around 7 million per year. A few Ukraine drones landing on Russia will do nothing. We keep bombing Iran and they are still operating.
Ukraine can not win.
