Ukraine Forming New Artillery Brigades for Corps​

As part of the transition to the corps structure of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, a “corps” set of military units is being created in each of these formations. One of these elements is artillery brigades. According to this plan, the old artillery brigades will be re-subordinated to the newly created corps, and new ones will be created.

Prior to the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the AFU included:

• 26th Artillery Brigade named after General-Corporal Roman Dashkevich
• 40th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Grand Duke Vytautas
• 43rd Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Taras Tryasyl
• 44th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Hetman Danylo Apostol
• 45th Separate Artillery Brigade named after General Myron Tarnavskyi
• 55th Separate Artillery Brigade “Zaporizhzhia Sich”
• The 406th Separate Artillery Brigade named after Major General Oleksiy Almazov

Obviously, this number is not enough to fill the “corps” set for all the formed army corps.

• the 27th Brigade was converted from a rocket brigade into an artillery unit, largely due to a shortage of ammunition for the BM-27 Uragan multiple rocket launchers it was previously equipped with.
• Another rocket unit, the 107th, did not retain this name, but added the prefix “artillery”. Now its full name is the 107th Rocket Artillery Brigade.
• In the Ukrainian Navy, the existing 32nd Artillery Brigade also became an artillery brigade.
• Another artillery brigade, the 147th Artillery Brigade, was created as part of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and became part of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces.
• There are also reports of the formation of at least two new artillery brigades in the Armed Forces: 60th and 68th. Another artillery brigade was created within the National Guard.

In addition to these, several other artillery brigades were formed during the full-scale invasion, including the following:

• The 148th as part of the Air Assault Forces and is now part of the 8th Air Assault Corps
• 47th Brigade
• 48th Brigade

Therefore, we may expect new reports on the creation of artillery brigades in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine is manufacturing approx. 40 Bohdana 155mm guns a month, enough to equip a full artillery brigade for every Corps in the Ukrainian Army over the next few months and certainly by the summer of 2026.

Putin thinks he's winning. There will ne no concessions at Budapest. just the same old demands for Ukraine to surrender, after which Trump will tell Zelensky to "make a deal."

The whole point of Putin's call to trump was to work on Trump to cancel the transfer of Timahawks to Ukraine. Nothing else. Putin has already achieved the sucess he was looking for.

Putin never offered to give up Zaporizzhia and Kherson. He meant Russia won't demand the full handover of these two but only demand the full handover (withdrawal of UA forces) of Donetsk oblast. There's no way Russia would propose giving up control of the land corridor to Crimea. Russia is purposefully giving Trump wrong hints to give him false hope in order to buy time and later they will deny they ever implied anything.

Putin knows that Zelensky can’t do agree to this so it will never happen. This means Putin can keep pushing in all these regions and say to Trump “I tried to negotiate but they refused”

Putin "playing" Trump yet again.

Ukraine Strikes The Heart Of The Russian Economy​

Putin begins a new wave of domestic oppression, as Ukraine expands its strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, beginning a new targeted campaign of strategic hits on the electrical substations surrounding Moscow. Meanwhile, Russian defense production is increasingly targeted in Ukraine's program of deeper and deeper strikes.

Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities, but its strength is fading.

Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities, but its strength is fading. What began as terror is now a sign of collapse. The Kremlin knows it is cornered. Families shelter 106 meters underground in Kyiv’s Arsenalna station and wake to light, water, and defiance. Ukraine has adapted and now survives strikes that once would have crippled it. When the war began, Ukraine had almost no air defense. Today interceptor drones stop hundreds of Russian missiles and drones before they reach their targets. These life saving drones are changing the course of the war.

At the same time, Ukraine is hitting at the foundation of Russia’s power. Fifty eight energy sites have been destroyed since August, cutting oil output by almost forty percent. Refineries burn, exports fall, and the ruble weakens. India and China are hesitating to buy Russian oil under United States pressure. Debt and deficits grow as winter approaches. Even Putin’s submarines are failing at sea.

This is how Russia loses. Not only on the battlefield, but in the budgets, refineries, and factories that once powered its war. Ukraine’s precision and resilience are forcing the Kremlin to pay for its own aggression.

Are they going to get more artillery shells to go with the guns?

 

[ChloeTzang]

Are they going to get more artillery shells to go with the guns?

Ukraine is manufacturing more and more themselves and the European shell manufactuers are upping production. The Czech ammo initiative is a question mark but that I think was being run by one of their armaments companies who were making money from it too and it was largely being funded by other countries so I can't see them walking way from that one either. Bad business, given they're in the weapons business.

I think the days of ammo being a major problem are well and truly over.

Um, DonOld Trump is complicit / actively assisting Putin.



MAGAts are fucking traitors; full stop.



We. Told. Them. So.

 

[Lazaran]

DonOld Trump is a traitor and a coward.



From “The Telegraph”:

Donald Trump demanded that Ukraine submit to Vladimir Putin’s peace terms or face destruction in an angry meeting at the White House last week, it has emerged.

The US president, who spoke with his Russian counterpart shortly before hosting Volodymyr Zelensky, warned that Putin would “destroy” Ukraine unless a peace deal was in place. Shouting and swearing, Mr Trump threw aside Ukrainian maps of the battlefield and pressured Mr Zelensky to surrender the Donetsk region to Russia. Putin is demanding the withdrawal of Ukraine’s army from the crucial eastern territory as a precondition for peace.

However, the surrender of Donetsk is a red line for Ukraine, which has long refused to cede the territory, which Russia has failed to capture despite fighting since 2014. Kyiv still holds about a quarter of Donetsk province. The land makes up part of the so-called “fortress belt”, a string of heavily defended towns that blocks Russia from making rapid westward advances towards the capital.

In the White House meeting, Mr Trump echoed Putin’s talking points, despite them contradicting his own recent assessment that Moscow was a “paper tiger”, European officials briefed on the meeting told the Financial Times.



We. Told. The. So.

Trump threw maps, cursed at Zelenskyy while demanding Ukraine cede Donbas to Russia – FT

Trump reportedly warned Zelenskyy that Putin could ‘destroy’ Ukraine if no deal was reached, pressing the Ukrainian president to consider Moscow’s territorial demands and signaling a willingness to entertain Russian proposals. US President Donald Trump reportedly pressed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russian demands for territorial concessions during a “volatile” meeting at the White House on Friday, warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin could “destroy” Ukraine if no agreement is reached, according to the Financial Times.

Ukraine has repeatedly rejected Russian demands to cede territory, including Donbas, warning that any concessions would be temporary since Russia has consistently said it wants to control all of Ukraine. The White House meeting underscored the gap between Trump’s willingness to entertain Moscow’s proposals and Kyiv’s focus on defending sovereignty and maintaining territorial integrity.

People familiar with the meeting told the Financial Times that the encounter repeatedly escalated into shouting, with Trump cursing and at one point tossing aside maps of the Ukrainian frontline. He reportedly insisted that Ukraine surrender the remainder of the Donbas region to Moscow, echoing talking points Putin reportedly made during a call with Trump the day before. The Donbas region, comprising Ukraine’s Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, has been partially occupied by Russian-backed separatists since 2014 and was further targeted by Russia during its full-scale invasion in 2022, though large areas remain under Ukrainian control.

Trump’s comments follow a broader push by Washington to end the conflict, including efforts to mediate a resolution between Kyiv and Moscow. In recent weeks, the White House has signaled interest in negotiating a freeze of front lines and exploring potential compromises, while also coordinating with European allies on military and economic support for Ukraine.

European officials briefed on the discussions said Zelenskyy was able to steer Trump toward endorsing a freeze of the current front lines, but the meeting underscored the unpredictability of the US president’s stance on the war, the Financial Times reported. Zelenskyy and his team had visited the White House seeking long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, which Trump ultimately declined to provide.

In a televised appearance on Sunday, Trump said he expected Russia to retain some territory, noting that Putin had “won certain property.”

European officials said Trump’s repetition of Putin’s rhetoric during the meeting dampened hopes that he could be persuaded to increase support for Kyiv, according to the Financial Times.

Absolutely disgusting behavior by Trump, and proves yet again he cannot be trusted one inch qwhen it comes to Ukraine. Everything he is doing here is antithetical to America's interests.

Trump: Putin has “won” property in Ukraine, won’t give it back under peace deal

US President Donald Trump said he expects any peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia to involve Moscow retaining parts of Ukrainian territory seized since 2022 - a reversal from his previous statements that Kyiv should fight until all occupied land is liberated.

Trump's remarks represent the latest shift in a peace negotiation process that has oscillated between competing visions since his inauguration, with Kyiv rejecting proposals that would formalize Russian control and security experts warning that territorial concessions without genuine guarantees risk repeating the failures of previous agreements that preceded Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion.

Speaking on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo, Trump said he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin was “open to ending this war,” but added that territorial concessions would be part of any deal.

“Well, he’s gonna take something. I mean, they fought and he has a lot of property. I mean, you know… he’s won certain property,” Trump said.

The remarks came days after Trump’s two-hour phone call with Putin and a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where the two leaders appeared to mend tensions that surfaced earlier this year.

Trump’s latest comments mark a shift from his tone in September, when he publicly encouraged Ukraine to keep fighting to reclaim all its occupied land and floated the idea of supplying Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv.

It appears that, following warnings from Moscow, he may be retreating from that position.

Trump has also agreed to meet Putin in Budapest on an undisclosed date, following their phone conversation last week.

Ukraine has repeatedly ruled out any peace plan that would formalize Russian control over occupied regions, including Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk Oblasts, parts of which have been occupied since 2014.

Looks like it's back to Ukraone having to defeat Rissia miltarily and destroy the Russian Federation without Trump. Fucking idiot. He keeps trying to pull Putin's nuts out of the fire and hand him victory.

One can only hope you stick to your pledge to vote Democratic.

Speed, Precision and Production: Ukraine's Drone Warfare Strategy is taking shape

At the front where Ukraine’s defenders face Russia’s relentless attacks, a new form of warfare is taking shape. It is no longer defined by tanks or manpower but by speed, intelligence, and precision. This is drone warfare, a revolution that is rewriting the rules of modern combat.

I recently returned from Ukraine’s front near Sumy and Kharkiv. What I saw there changed how the world should understand this war. Ukrainian soldiers now rely on reconnaissance drones that detect enemy movements minutes before an ambush. Strike drones that cost as little as 500 dollars are destroying Russian vehicles worth millions. Medical drones deliver lifesaving supplies when the roads are destroyed, cutting evacuation times from hours to minutes.

Behind this transformation stand United Unmanned Systems and the European Resilience Initiative Center. Together they are producing more than three million drones each year. This scale is turning Ukraine’s airspace into a living nervous system that senses, decides, and strikes faster than any invader can react.

Russia’s size and economy cannot match this intelligence driven approach. Every drone flight now delivers both tactical precision and economic disruption. Fuel depots burn, railways stall, and the entire logistics chain of the invasion slows under its own weight.

This is the story of how innovation, courage, and coordination are reshaping the future of warfare and why Ukraine’s defenders continue to stand firm against overwhelming odds.

I’ve Never Seen Putin This Paranoid​

There's been a lot of chatter about coups lately in Russia. Putin has been making big "busts," especially with claims against Russians living in foreign countries, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky. On top of this, we've seen other things throughout the war - especially "accidents" meeting Russian oligarchs. In this video, I put it all together to show how paranoid Vladimir Putin really is, and what that actually reveals.

Putin’s Frontline Is COLLAPSING…​

Russia’s grand summer offensive was meant to be the turning point in the war — but instead, it’s become a catastrophic failure. Despite throwing everything at Ukraine, Moscow’s forces have made almost no meaningful gains while suffering staggering losses, with nearly five Russian troops killed for every Ukrainian. As Putin’s front line collapses and his economy falters, even his closest allies are beginning to doubt him. But could the worst still be yet to come?
