Interviewer: And before we wrap up, Professor Mearsheimer, let’s briefly touch on Ukraine. Something rather remarkable happened over the weekend. Influencer Laura Loomer, who is close to President Trump, traveled to Kyiv, interviewed President Zelensky, and the first thing she did was apologize for all the negative things she had previously said about him—calling him a Nazi and urging the United States to stop supporting Ukraine. Now she has taken the exact opposite position. Many people have described this reversal as blatant opportunism. At the same time, there’s a growing belief that, despite all expectations, Ukraine has managed to gain the upper hand in the war against Russia, largely thanks to its highly effective use of drones. From the very beginning, however, you’ve argued that Russia would ultimately prevail and that Ukraine would eventually have to cede territory—something it still refuses to do. Has your view changed? Do you think it’s possible that Russia may no longer achieve the victory you once considered inevitable?
John Mearsheimer: Quite the opposite. Russia is still winning. Just look at the front line. Russian forces continue to advance—slowly, but steadily. I have little doubt that by the end of the year they will control the entirety of Donbas. Ukraine is also facing severe internal problems. There is widespread desertion and draft evasion, while its population is only a fraction of Russia’s. Ukrainian forces are suffering heavy losses, and their defensive lines are beginning to buckle.
More importantly, there are the Russian strikes on Odesa. They have effectively cut the city off from the rest of Ukraine. In practical terms, Ukraine has lost its Black Sea port, and that will have devastating long-term consequences. Odesa was critical for exporting grain and importing weapons. Now, neither of those functions remains. So I continue to believe that Russia holds the strategic initiative. The claims circulating in the West that Ukraine has somehow turned the tide are, in my view, nothing more than propaganda. It’s the same pattern we saw with the war against Iran. All these uplifting narratives about how we—and Ukraine—are winning the war against Russia are propaganda that bears very little resemblance to the realities on the ground.
📹 112 has released surveillance footage showing the moment several men began beating scientist Nikita Zezin.
According to preliminary reports, the men confronted Zezin outside the institute, verbally abused him, and then attacked him. After he fell to the ground, they allegedly continued kicking him.
Several days later, Zezin died in hospital from a heart attack.
🇷🇺 Russian Academy of Sciences researcher Nikita Zezin has died in the Urals at the age of 67, following a severe beating.
According to preliminary reports, on July 13, Zezin and his deputy, Alexander Shanin, were inspecting experimental fields when they spotted children aged 8–10 riding quad bikes. The scientists reportedly contacted the children’s parents and decided to take the children to the institute. However, several men in SUVs were waiting for them outside the building. One of them, allegedly the father of one of the children, attacked and beat Zezin.
On July 22, the scientist died in hospital. The official cause of death was listed as a heart attack, but Zezin’s relatives and colleagues believe his death was linked to the injuries he sustained.
According to regional lawmaker Vyacheslav Vagner, he has appealed to Investigative Committee Chairman Alexander Bastrykin, requesting a thorough investigation into the incident.
