Summary

Ukrainian forces have effectively defeated Russia's 2026 Donetsk offensive, destroying a key cruise missile fuel plant and holding Russian advances to just 60 meters daily. The thread documents widespread signs of Russian military and societal collapse, including equipment failures, mass casualties, deserter hunts, and increasingly absurd domestic policies and propaganda efforts.

    🧵Ukrainian drones just incinerated the plant making fuel for Putin's cruise missiles. Moscow claimed it "repelled" the attack while the Redkino facility burned to the ground, as Ukrainian forces officially defeated Russia's 2026 Donetsk offensive. 1/🧵

    That strike caps a historic military collapse. The Institute for the Study of War officially declared Russia's Donetsk campaign "defeated" after Ukrainian forces held Putin's army to 0.06 km per day. That is sixty meters daily, barely two-thirds of a football field. 2/

    Ukrainian forces achieved this by launching a counter-strike across the Siverskyi Donets River, forcing panicked Russian war bloggers to leak the breakthrough first. Ukraine has now shattered 15 consecutive Kremlin deadlines to seize the region. 3/

    While routing Russian forces in Donetsk, Ukraine hosted military chiefs from all 32 NATO member states in Kyiv. Russia spent four years demanding that the world abandon the capital; instead, Western diplomats stayed, and 32 allied generals arrived in force. 4/

    Behind Russian lines, internal despair is leaking out. Jailed warlord Igor Strelkov smuggled a letter from his cell calling the war a "deadly and hopeless trap." A prison censor intercepted two sheets but inexplicably passed the page admitting the war is lost. 5/

  6. #6

    That despair has turned macabre. When inspectors hit a Russian unit near Chasiv Yar, dead soldiers answered the roll call. Officers handed surviving troops the call signs of killed comrades, forcing them to shout "present" for corpses to hide mass casualties. 6/

    Russian hardware is equally broken. Near Chasiv Yar, troops report that out of 26 delivered mines, exactly 1 works. Facing a 96 percent dud rate on basic munitions, St. Petersburg slashed recruit signing bonuses by two-thirds simply because funds ran dry. 7/

    To replace dead troops, Moscow authorized plainclothes snatch squads with ambushes to hunt deserters. Meanwhile, Russia is drafting reservists into the fire service to extinguish Ukrainian drone strikes, officially admitting a 22 percent shortage of firefighters. 8/

    State paranoia back home has turned surreal. A 60-year-old psychologist got 4 years in a colony for an accidental 3,500-ruble subscription. A scientist studying Arctic swans got 3.5 years for a 2,000-ruble donation. Russia jailed a woman for the price of a goose. 9/

    Moscow courts then indicted International Criminal Court judges for investigating Putin, demanding that the Dutch arrest them. Dutch authorities ignored the request. In Saratov, a moviegoer tried calling the police on "Dobby the House Elf" for insulting Putin's likeness. 10/

  11. #11

    Russian intelligence operations devolved into pure farce. Disinformation campaigns tricked Ecuadorian schoolkids into swearing an official oath to Blackwater founder Erik Prince, while Moscow began recruiting homeless people off Telegram for European sabotage. 11/

    Diplomacy is dead: Peskov admitted talks are dead while Kushner discussed Nord Stream in Miami. As Soviet TV healers buried the dead with sorcerers attending, Putin entertained Gerhard Schröder, the German who refused to leave a burning bathhouse until his beer was done. 12/

    When Ukrainian drones torch Putin's missile fuel plants and force living men to shout "present" for corpses, the war is lost. Russia's 60-meter daily advance is not progress; it is the agonizing pacing of a collapsing empire. The Full Report: 13/🧵 professorbonk.substack.com/p/ukraine-burn…
