Russian Special Forces Were Just Hit Hard in Donetsk

Ukraine Just Isolated a Key Section of the Front

UGV Fundraiser (501c3): https://donorbox.org/fourwheeledfriends/fundraiser/preston-stewart [https://donorbox.org/fourwheeledfriends/fundraiser/preston-stewart] So there’s more Russian panic right now than we’ve seen in a long time, with some calling on thousands of reinforcements to be sent forward before they lose key terrain. As we’ve talked about countless times in recent weeks this is all part of Ukraine’s plan and it seems to be working. Isolate a portion of the battlefield with middle range strikes and then methodically clear it. That’s happening right now in Zaporizhia and Russian analysts are noticing a negative trend for their forces.

Hostilities flared up in Iran overnight as the US struck IRGC boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz and engaged a surface to air missile targeting US aircraft. Iran for their part, says they shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone and forced an F-35 to flee the area. Claims I’ve not seen verified outside of Iranian statements. US officials stress that this is not a violation of the ceasefire while Iran has vowed retaliation. Let’s get into what we know.

Ukraine's 2026 Strategy is Working

UGV fundraiser (org is a 501c3): https://donorbox.org/fourwheeledfriends/fundraiser/preston-stewart [https://donorbox.org/fourwheeledfriends/fundraiser/preston-stewart] Russia just issued a warning that they're going to hit Kyiv hard. This comes as they struggle to advance or come anywhere near their war aims on the battlefield. This is due in large part to a strategy rolled out by Ukraine in 2026 to destroy Russian air defense, hamper their logistics, and eliminate record number of soldiers trying to attack. The Institute for the Study of War laid out a great summary of this today that can be found at the link below.

Russian Morale Is Falling Fast

Something is happening in Russia as more and more pro-Russian accounts are getting incredibly frustrated with the direction the war is going. It's not unusual to get a little pushback from some key voices, but it is unusual to see so many venting different concerns in such a short period of time. We'll see how this all affects the front but it's hard to look at these comments and think that the war is going according to Russia's plans.
