      So silly! One might wonder what good it does. But the more energy the Russians put into these strange things, the better for Ukraine, in a way.

    “Ukraine is to carry out a restructuring of the country’s state energy companies following the major corruption scandal that was uncovered this week. President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote about this in a post on X.

    In addition to a “full review” of the companies’ finances, the respective managements of the companies are to be replaced, Zelensky wrote. He also wants a supervisory body to be appointed “within a week” to review the state nuclear power company Energoatom.

    The corruption scandal has shaken Ukraine, partly because Zelensky’s close friend and former business partner, Timur Mindich, is suspected to be the mastermind behind it.

    Zelensky has previously stated that he will fully cooperate with the corruption investigation.

    “Complete transparency and integrity in the energy sector remain an absolute priority,” he wrote on X.”

      This is much needed. At the same time, it is truly distressing with corruption in general, but especially right now when all the money should go to Ukraine’s needs instead of ending up in someone’s private pocket.

    Well, in general, if we talk comprehensively, taking into account all these problems that I have voiced, and they actually give rise to the next problem that I have to talk about, it is front entropy. Front entropy is both a separate problem today for Ukrainian defense, and a consequence of a number of problems that I have just listed. What do I mean?

    when, for example, a year ago we had, well, let’s say, 20 infantrymen per kilometer, and now there are five. Figuratively, the numbers may not correspond to reality. I will now just give an example. Due to the fact that our battle formations are not saturated with infantry, our front line is turning into a kind of expanded gray zone, Where we do not control entire separate sections of the front, weepy due to sia dominat yet advance very of Ukrainian kamikaze drones, which are now saving the situation and not only kamikazes. But when the weather deteriorates, as it is now, This on And the tro uscons as mestactical, and then they can achieve operational successes.

    What do I mean? A year ago, when the weather was bad, there..

    What do I mean? If the Russians concentrate, there were no such problems as those described in Novopavlivka. Even though we already had significant problems with personnel availability and defense organization back then. But right now, as soon as the weather deteriorates and the drones cannot function normally, it is almost guaranteed that the Russians will advance on the part of the front where we have severe weather conditions.
    Now it’s about a breakthrough of 5-10 km. Or this infiltration tactic, as was the case in the Dobropol direction.
    But if nothing changes, if we do not solve the problems that exist today, as I have described, then over time, perhaps in the near future, that… in the future we may face an enemy breakthrough, not tactical, but operational, with access to the operational space.

    The Russians can repeat this against us now over time. But I repeat, this may be in the fairly short term, by exploiting our already exhausted defense.
    That is why I say, friends, that the scenario where we wake up one morning and see Russian tanks rolling into one of our regional centers is not an apocalyptic, unrealistic scenario. This scenario is quite realistic if we leave everything as it is. Yes, we have objective problems.
    The objective problem is that the enemy is fighting us with much greater resources. They outnumber us and have better weapons than us.
    Objective problems are also related to insufficient support from our partners. Objective problems also consist in the fact that, bluntly speaking, it is a war and in the wall the exhausted and few also consist in the fact that there are not enough citizens in Ukraine willing to engage in defense, at least by helping this defense, and not even participating in it. Let’s also say it as it is. A significant part of Ukraine’s citizens today are not particularly interested in war.
    A victory there or believes matizers is generally normal. Yes, shaheeds and missiles fly in, but in principle one cannot worry so much about the situation at the front and for Ukraine.
    state formation. And this is not unique. All societies, all nations are like this. There is an active minority and a passive majority. This is a fact, there are objective reasons for this.
    But there are also subjective factors that consist in the fact that we have not done enough at the organizational level to prevent these problems.
    This is also manifested in the fact that when we suffer serious losses there, painful Torn attacks have been going on at training centers, at training sites, before at least something started to change, and then

    we will see how many more Russians have to jump into such Novopavlivkas for systemic conclusions to begin to emerge. I do not know if all is lost. No, definitely not all.
    is not yet lost. Our enemy also has many problems. And the Russians have not yet made any operational breakthrough through our front line. Not because they do not want to, but because they cannot yet. But the situation can change in a month, two, or three, if the Russians gather more forces and resources and strike at a specific location.
    Then Ukraine’s defense may not be able to handle the situation. Our enemy now also has many different problems at the strategic level. One of the most important is also exhaustion. Partial exhaustion of infantry units. The Russians continue to suffer significant losses, but unfortunately not large enough. And this is problems with the economy.
    There is currently an economic crisis in the Russian Federation. It is worsening.

    momentum, it will gain even more momentum. And in this context, in this context, if we changed, changed our approaches to lead our troops, implemented both organizational and personnel changes in the army, we could expect to stand our ground and the Russians would be exhausted before us in strategic terms.
    And this is the only option for Ukraine to preserve its statehood. Because all other options, except for the defeat of the Russian Federation, a strategic defeat, mean a deferred defeat for Ukraine.
    The war currently underway is existential in nature. And when this war is over, either Ukraine or the Russian Federation in its current form will prevail; the imperialist form will prevail. Either the Russian Federation must change or collapse and Ukraine will prevail, or Russia
    The Federation will absorb Ukraine, conquer it, and there will be no Ukrainian state. This also must be understood very well.

    At the same time, instead of implementing an army reform and Recognizing the problem and solving it begins with realizing that it exists. Well, Let’s say that in order to start treating cancer, we must find out what cancer is.
    and acknowledge this fact. Then we can know what medicine to take.
    Then we can take actions to overcome it. So, the solution to the problem begins with awareness of it. I would really like the Ukrainian military leadership, the highest military-political leadership, to honestly face the truth, acknowledge the existing problem, and start acting. Because if this does not happen, we will truly lose the war in the worst sense of the word.
    You ask what to do? Look, I can now present a whole program

    for a reform of the army, which consists of changing the approach to mobilization and changing the approach to personnel distribution as a result of this.
    mobilization, changed strategies to counter SZCH as a whole, lifting the blockade of certain transfers, and taking action against assault units, where the losses are several times greater than the losses of linear brigades. I can mention many more points, but I cannot claim to have the ultimate truth. I am not a military expert, but in some places, it seems like I see a little more than even some of our, let’s say, generals. Perhaps because I communicate directly with our soldiers, and they tell me the truth without embellishment, as they have nothing to fear, nothing to worry about when telling me the truth. There are many competent, intelligent, and professional military personnel in Ukraine who know what needs to be done and what needs to be changed. But for them to be able to start

    implementing this and even write a program, they must realize that there is a problem for changes to occur. And so far, I do not see this realization. So far, I see in the reports that the situation is basically difficult but under control. And somehow, we will continue to conduct such a defensive war without changing anything, while our enemy changes and adapts. I have the impression that at the highest level, sometimes we exhibit such infantilism that cannot, yes, cannot be tolerated by history, consisting of hoping that we will hold out for another three to six months and that everything will work out, and that somehow it will, and that maybe it will be so. I observe this every year, which means we have no strategy for several years ahead, how to act if the war does not end this year, next year, or in a year. Even today, I was surprised when I read this, the president said that we are working to

    reopen negotiations, so there is still a possibility to end the war. We also count on exchanges, many meetings, and negotiations to resume. Does this require it? Yes, meetings, negotiations for the sake of the exchange. That’s why it’s important. We must get all our citizens back. But I was surprised by the wording that there may be a possibility to end the war through negotiations. The Russians show no signs of being ready to end the war. And even if they try to show it somewhere privately, it’s an illusion. This is a deception by the highest military-political leadership in Ukraine to gain time and continue the war and strike against Ukraine’s territory and take our country. We are destroyed by our naivety and the hope that it will somehow end. It will not resolve itself; it will not disappear. The problem will not disappear on its own. The problem must

    be solved. To solve it, it must be acknowledged. The war will not end on its own. The Russian Federation will not let go of Ukraine. The Russian Federation has plans not only to conquer Ukraine but to wage war against the whole of Europe. And these plans, by the way, according to the statement of Ukraine’s president himself, the Russian Federation is ready to implement by 2030 at the latest, and I think even earlier. That is, the Russians may even initiate hostilities against European countries without ending the war with Ukraine. This is a completely realistic scenario. Not right now and today, but, yes, the window is starting to open. to open conditionally. I believe it will be next year. And finally, let’s imagine that we have conducted negotiations and the Russians have agreed to a frozen state in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and theoretically, they could agree to it sometime in the future if their economy collapses completely and they realize they need a break. But even in that case, I do not think Vladimir Putin will do it now. But let’s imagine it will happen. Yes, let’s simulate the situation. Let’s imagine that the Russian-Ukrainian war has frozen. The parties stop contact at the front line. What happens next? If neither side has suffered defeat or won a strategic victory, then the following will happen. An even greater militarization will take place on the territory of the Russian Federation. The Russian economy will get a second wind because some sanctions have been lifted. The Russian military-industrial complex will grow even more than now. The civilian sectors of the Russian economy will gradually begin to recover. In principle, Russian society will receive a clear signal that a war against another state is not so difficult, not so bad. It can be tolerated. The situation will still stabilize later.

     

    The Russian Federation will use the time available to build up its army, to increase weapon production, reform its army. And the Russian army is currently undergoing an active reform. Despite the significant deterioration of the command staff in the ground forces there, it is still changing now. The Russian army is for the better, unfortunately for us. And thus, if the Russian-Ukrainian war freezes, within one or two years, the Russian Federation will be ready for a new full-scale war against Ukraine. At the same time, since the Russian Federation is a dictatorship, it will very easily, without political problems, be able to consolidate all available resources for this. Moreover, the sociopolitical situation within the Russian Federation will force Vladimir Putin to start a new war because a significant number of Russians who know how to kill,

    who have combat experience, will return to the Russian Federation. They will be, many of them are socially dissatisfied. They will need to find a space where they can release their frustration. And in order to reduce tensions within the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin will need to find an external enemy again to direct aggression and hatred towards the Russians there, so that they do not think about internal problems. This is what we will get if the war freezes and the Russian Federation does not suffer a strategic defeat. Let us now answer the question of what will happen to Ukraine if the war between Russia and Ukraine freezes. If the war between Russia and Ukraine freezes, Ukraine will receive less military support and even less economic support. At the same time, we will face an enormous burden. for reconstruction, for which we may actually be allocated funding, but attention will be focused on Ukraine much less than during ongoing hostilities. This is natural. Weapon deliveries will decrease.

    Our defense industry will shrink, as we will not have the same amount of money as now to order weapons and military equipment. And our weapons export has not yet started. That is, Ukrainian weapons producers have not really entered the international market, which would allow them to continue to exist and attract significant financial resources to Ukraine, even under conditions where hostilities have ceased. In addition, we will have a sociopolitical crisis internally, which is because Well, we have many internal problems.
    If the state of emergency is lifted, even more citizens will leave Ukraine, which will hit both the economy and Ukraine’s military potential even harder. And within Ukraine, political unrest will arise. In principle, these things are already happening, but when the election is held, it will happen with renewed force. I am for elections, I am for a change of power, but I try to analytically anticipate what will happen to our country in the event of one scenario or another.
    If the war between Russia and Ukraine freezes, we will therefore be in a much worse strategic situation than our opponent.
    And we may not get a second chance after that. Will Ukraine, which will lose another five million people, have a weakened economy, a reduced military-industrial complex, and another full-scale invasion, survive? Try to answer the question.
    this question for yourself. You may not agree with my conclusions. Basically, everyone is wrong. Maybe I’m wrong too. I want to be wrong about everything.
    the predictions I make today, but try to answer the question yourself: what will happen if the war between Russia and Ukraine freezes, what
    What positions will Ukraine take, what positions will the Russian Federation take?
    In addition, we now also have an extensive political corruption crisis.

    or a political corruption crisis, which on the one hand undermines the trust of citizens
    raine in the Ukrainian authorities in connection with a large-scale war. This is very dangerous. But on the other hand, I am glad that our infrastructure for combating corruption, Our law enforcement agencies combating corruption act in this way and are not afraid.
    not afraid to expose corruption, not even at a very high level.
    And this is mainly thanks to the citizens of Ukraine who were not afraid, who took to the streets, who spoke out, who defended the very existence of independent anti-corruption institutions. Therefore, I believe that all is not lost, friends.
    Therefore, I believe that if we raise our voices and demand, in particular, an army reform with organizational and personnel changes,
    we may still have a chance to survive and even win.

    The military should first and foremost discuss a reform of the army, and you and I can support it. We must support it.
    It is very good and right that we are now speaking loudly about the corruption scandals that have erupted in the past week, but we should speak even louder about the critical military problem, the military crisis prevailing in Ukraine today, because without a combat-ready, strong, and organized effective Ukrainian army that protects the people and punishes those who allow excessive losses. Ukraine simply will not exist.
    There will be no Ukraine. It means that millions of Ukrainians will be oppressed, enslaved, tortured, killed, and so on.
    Our nation went through all this already 100 years ago, when our forefathers were forced to eat their own children in certain places. This is what

    Russia will bring. This is what the Russians will bring. Therefore, the risks are extremely high right now.
    Consequently, the most likely scenario in the medium term in
    The Russian-Ukrainian war looks like this: The Russian Federation will not stop and will not Freeze the Russian-Ukrainian war either now or in a few months, that’s for sure.
    This means that we must consolidate and protect all our resources.
    so that the Russians get exhausted faster than us.
    Honestly, we are not following such a strategy right now.
    And this must change.
    perley does not make us hate” I do not program anyone at all. I am not a programmer. And even less do I program.

    anyone for defeat. I am just trying to warn, because I understand the consequences it can have if we do not implement an army reform here and now. Because
    A year after I made such a statement, the situation has worsened and is practically exactly as I said a year ago.
    because I want to prevent a disaster of national proportions.
    If I have to say unpleasant things to you for this, I will. If I have to say directly that
    Russian tanks may end up in Dnipro or Zaporizhia at one point, I say it. If I get into trouble because of this, so be it.
    My life is the same as Serhiy Sternenko’s, it weighs nothing compared to the whole country’s, the whole nation’s goals.
    That is why I say: “Friends, we must change or perish.” And unfortunately, this is not just a slogan. This is objectively speaking. This is our reality.

    What should we all do, friends? But we and you must talk about the problems and not be afraid of it. Take off the rose-colored glasses, if anyone still has them on. Wear them. Of course, we can and should rejoice at the successes of the Ukrainian defense forces, but this does not negate a sober view of the general situation. the situation that our country is currently in. And it pains me greatly. Every day the delay continues, the enemy gains more chances to defeat Ukraine. I will say this. But if we all actively talk about it, do not remain silent and demand, there is a chance for change. As practice shows, the higher the military-political leadership reacts to a broad public outcry. If there is still no reaction, it means that we have not talked about it enough and have not made sufficient demands. Therefore, I urge you: speak out, make demands!

    1/✍️

    Dear friends

    We live in a time when principles are being tested in real time.

    Ukraine’s struggle is not just a struggle for territory – it is a struggle for the right to be free, for international law, for the security of Europe and for the credibility of the values ​​that the West claims to stand for.

    But in the midst of this struggle, Ukraine is not just facing an aggressor.

    They are also facing another kind of obstacle:

    – our own bureaucracy and our slow decision-making processes.

    We must dare to say it clearly:
    – when aid decisions take months instead of weeks, when packages get stuck in committees, when rules and procedures outweigh real needs – then we are creating problems that have direct consequences on the ground.

    2/
    – Every delayed delivery means lost time, lost terrain, lost lives.

    The logic of war is brutal and time-critical.

    Our political and administrative logic is often slow, fragmented and risk-averse. That collision costs.

    There are several concrete ways in which this manifests itself:

    – Fragmented decision-making:
    – When 30 countries have to reach a consensus, the lowest common denominator is often the most likely outcome – and that takes time.

    Meanwhile, the situation on the frontline changes day by day.
    – Legal and administrative bottlenecks:
    – Export regulations, procurement processes, licenses and compatibility requirements are rational in peacetime but can become obstructive in wartime.

    They are not adapted to acute security policy.
    – Political seasons and election cycles:
    – Aid becomes the subject of domestic politics, budget battles and tactical moves.

    3/
    For Ukraine, it is not a point of debate;
    – it is an existential question.

    – Operational uncertainty: Uncertainty about what is being delivered, when and to what extent complicates planning on the Ukrainian side.

    Strategy requires stable assumptions;
    – irregular decisions create jerkiness.

    The consequences are serious.

    Delays undermine Ukraine’s ability to defend and deter. They signal ambiguity to the adversary, who may interpret our indecision as weakness.

    They also erode public confidence – both in Ukraine and in the West – that our promises really matter. And they increase the bottom line:
    – what could have been solved with quick action becomes more expensive, risky and protracted.

    4/
    This is not a point of blame for individual officials or institutions.

    Bureaucracy exists to create legal certainty, accountability and transparency.

    But extraordinary times require extraordinary ways of applying the rules. We must be able to be both principled and proactive.

    So what can be done?

    – Create fast-track security support lines:
    – Permanent, pre-established processes for emergency situations – with pre-approved frameworks, simplified licenses and fixed deadlines.

    – Stockpile and coordinate capacities:
    – Joint European and transatlantic warehouses, standardised systems and logistics centres that enable delivery within days, not months.
    – Provide long-term, predictable commitments: Multi-year support guarantees that can be translated into planning, production and training, regardless of political fluctuations.
    – Delegate decision-making power in a crisis:
    – Clear mandates to executive bodies to act quickly within given frameworks, with ex-post control instead of ex-ante blocking.
    – Reduce politicization: Create cross-political agreements on basic support so that vital decisions are not caught up in budget squabbles or election campaigns.

    – Invest in industrial mobilization:
    – Guaranteed orders, faster certification and common standards to scale up production of critical equipment.

    5/5
    It is fundamentally about credibility.

    – If we say that Ukraine’s fight is our fight, our actions must reflect that – in pace, in scope and in endurance.

    Every day of delay is measured in human lives and in risks to wider European instability.

    Speed ​​is not the opposite of responsibility;
    – in a war, responsibility can require speed.

    Let us therefore do what is necessary to turn will into action.

    Let us adapt our processes to the reality we face, not the one we wish we had.

    “For the sake of Ukraine.”

    “For the security of Europe.”

    “For our values ​​to be more than words.”

    Thank you. Peter Gilchrist Branshøj

    “After not having carried out a single strategic mission in 2025, the occupiers are trying to pressure the defense forces to at least be able to report some “successes”.

    💥The defense forces continue their defense operation and carry out search and attack actions in certain areas.

    ⚡️In the past day, our troops in the Pokrovsk direction have searched for and destroyed the enemy on an area of 26.6 km² in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk region. During the fighting, 39 occupiers were destroyed, and the enemy’s total losses amounted to 60 individuals. The occupiers also lost 16 units of weapons and military equipment.

    ⚡️Zaporizhia region. The defenders of southern Ukraine continue to strike at the enemy’s positions, firing points, and rear lines.

    In the past day, the enemy’s losses amounted to 204 individuals, 12 artillery systems (including the MLRS “Uragan”), and 45 units of other military equipment.

    The main task is to destroy the enemy and its reserves, to undermine its offensive potential.

    ⚡️🇺🇦Thanks to the professional efforts of the Ukrainian soldiers, the losses of the attackers in 2025 have already exceeded 367,460 individuals.

    🤝Thanks to our defenders for their perseverance and efficiency. Every eliminated occupier is a step towards a just peace.

    The fight continues. Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦”
