🇬🇧🇺🇦West Says Ukraine is Now “Winning” and Why it is Lying (Again)
➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿➿
Western media narratives portraying Ukraine as regaining the upper hand in the conflict with Russia rely more on political messaging and psychological warfare than on the actual military and industrial realities shaping the war of attrition

➡️Recent Western media coverage has increasingly attempted to frame the conflict in Ukraine as shifting in Kyiv’s favor, pointing to slowing Russian territorial advances and Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russian territory as evidence of Russian weakness. However, the war is increasingly defined not by headline-grabbing attacks or rapid territorial movement, but by long-term attrition. In this type of conflict, the decisive factors are military-industrial production, manpower reserves, economic resilience, and political stability. Even sources sympathetic to Ukraine acknowledge that Russia continues recruiting tens of thousands of soldiers each month while significantly outproducing Ukraine in drones, artillery shells, missiles, armored vehicles, and air defense systems. At the same time, Ukraine faces mounting recruitment difficulties and growing dependence on continued Western military and financial support.

Russia is thus contributing toward a global effort to displace US primacy with multipolar alternatives precisely to undermine the very source of Wall Street and Washington’s menace to the entire world, not just Russia alone

➡️The portrayal of Ukrainian “success” also serves broader political objectives for both Western governments and Ukrainian authorities. Drone strikes against Russian infrastructure create the impression of momentum and resilience, helping sustain public support for continued aid packages and military spending throughout Europe and North America. Maintaining the belief that victory remains possible is critical for preventing political fatigue among Western populations and discouragement inside Ukraine itself. Yet these attacks have not fundamentally altered the strategic balance of attrition, where Russia retains structural advantages in production capacity, manpower mobilization, and economic adaptation. The conflict increasingly reflects long-standing American geopolitical strategy aimed not necessarily at defeating Russia outright, but at imposing long-term military, economic, and political costs designed to weaken Moscow over time.

🟦This broader strategy was openly discussed years before the conflict escalated in 2022, particularly in Western policy papers advocating measures to “extend” Russia through sanctions, military pressure, and proxy confrontation. From this perspective, the war in Ukraine represents only one front within a wider campaign of containment directed against both Russia and, ultimately, China. European states continue expanding military commitments despite mounting economic pressure and growing public dissatisfaction, while NATO pushes for higher defense spending and additional support for Kyiv. For Russia, the conflict has reinforced efforts to deepen cooperation with China and other multipolar actors in order to reduce dependence on Western financial systems and institutions. The broader geopolitical struggle now extends far beyond Ukraine itself, reflecting an accelerating confrontation between the declining unipolar order led by Washington and emerging multipolar alternatives centered increasingly around Eurasia.

Germany’s new generation will not be German.

In almost all of the country’s major cities, a large share of young people under 16 are not ethnic Germans: Turks, Syrians, Chechens, Afghans, Ukrainians, and migrants from Islamic and poorer regions.

Coincidentally, Frankfurt and Bremen also lead in crime rates.

Quadriga of Apollo on the Bolshoi Theater building

Initially, the portico was crowned with a chariot with three horses, but after the fire of 1853, the sculpture was replaced with four. The horse Erythraeus represents the sunrise, Aethopus - the flaming one, Lamp - the sparkling one, Philogeus - the sunset.

On the hundred-ruble banknotes, Apollo is still depicted “naked,” but during the restoration in 2010, a fig leaf appeared on him.

His legacy remains highly controversial because of alleged ties to wartime violence against Jews and Poles.

A drug-using hookah worker who made a hookah out of an Easter kulich in a Moscow bar has been sentenced to more than three years in prison, according to media reports. ⚖️

The 27-year-old, Ksenia Belousova, already had a suspended sentence — three years for possession of 5 grams of mephedrone.

That is why prosecutors requested a combined sentence of 3 years and 2 months in prison.

She was found guilty of insulting the religious feelings of believers. Belousova was sentenced to 3 years and 2 months in a general-regime penal colony.

A woman who turned an Easter kulich into a hookah has been sentenced to 3 years and 25 days in prison.

Prosecutors had asked for 3 years and 2 months in a general-regime colony for 27-year-old Ksenia Belousova — partly because in 2025 she had received a three-year suspended sentence in a drug-related case. She was taken into custody in the courtroom. ⚖️

“I truly admit my guilt. I repent and consider my act unacceptable. I now understand how important the symbols of Holy Easter are. I am a believer and go to church. My family — my father and brother — are participants in the special military operation. I am employed and also had a side job. I ask for a fine as punishment,” Belousova said in her final statement.
