Key Takeaways
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) continues to artificially inflate its claims of advance in Ukraine to support the Kremlin’s false narrative that a Russian victory in Ukraine is inevitable.
Russian forces are reportedly rearranging forces to prepare for offensive operations across several sectors of the frontline but lack the forces and means required to sustain these operations simultaneously.
The Russian offensive in Kupyansk is reportedly vulnerable due to the lack of sufficient forces to sustain simultaneous offensive operations against Kupyansk and several other areas along the frontline. Russian officials privately admitted that Russia is responsible for the September 19 incursion of three MiG-31 interceptor jets into Estonian airspace.
Russian officials continued attempts to convince the Trump administration to allow Russia to continue its war against Ukraine unimpeded in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s September 23 comments emphasizing that Ukraine has the ability to retake all of its territory.
The Kremlin reportedly plans to allocate less to national defense spending in 2026 than in 2025 but acknowledged that it is increasing some taxes to fund “defense and security.” The Kremlin is likely looking for different avenues to raise funding for defense and national security spending without aggravating existing socio-economic tensions.
Russia continues to suffer from gasoline shortages in Russia and occupied Ukraine due to repeated Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Ukrainian forces advanced near Velykomykhailivka. Russian forces advanced near Lyman and within the Dobropillya salient.

DeepStrike update...
Ukraine's DeepStrike campaign 'significantly' crippling Russian military logistics as fuel crisis worsens, Syrskyi says
September 26, 2025 1:26 pm
Kyiv's strikes on Russia's oil sector have severely disrupted fuel supplies and logistics for Moscow's armed forces, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Sept. 25.
"The capabilities of the enemy's military-industrial complex have been significantly reduced; we can see this on the battlefield," he said at a meeting with journalists attended by the Kyiv Independent.
The commander credited Ukraine's DeepStrike campaign, a wave of drone strikes, with creating a fuel crisis in Russia that is directly hampering its operational activity and supply lines.
"This is a fuel crisis in Russia, which directly affects logistics and the supply of its army," Syrskyi said.
The commander gave a snapshot of the campaign's scale and effect. In less than two months, Ukrainian forces have struck 85 high-value targets on Russian soil, according to the him.
These include 33 military sites, such as bases, warehouses, airfields, and aircraft on the ground, as well as 52 military-industrial facilities producing weapons, ammunition, fuel, and drones.
"The effectiveness of DeepStrike has been confirmed not only by us, but also appreciated by our partners," he added. "That's why we continue to build and scale the units that carry out DeepStrike."
The statement comes after a concentrated series of drone attacks on refineries and terminals across southern and central Russia in August and September, which analysts say have cut refining output.
Disrupting fuel exports and refining capacity also strikes at the Kremlin's war economy.
Russian pro-government media outlet Kommersant reported on Sept. 24 that around 50% of gas stations in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol have stopped selling gasoline due to fuel supply disruptions.
The Kremlin authorities plan to extend the ban on gasoline exports and have introduced a ban on diesel exports for non-producers, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandr Novak said on Sept. 25.
Drones remain central to the campaign. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine has the capacity to produce up to 8 million drones annually but lacks the financing to reach that level.
The commander said Ukraine will continue to refine the balance between tactical battlefield gains and strategic pressure on Russia's supply and revenue networks.

It doesn't matter what that X claims to quote. It can't be trusted to tell the truth about anything war related, Mr. Firehose of Falsehood.

Incorrect. Ayden is an American who lives is Oregon I believe. Just because you don't like reality does not make it Russian Propaganda. We just witnessed the head of NATO get caught in a lie and called out by the India Foreign Minister. That would be a good example of someone spreading lies and Propaganda. Kind of like you do on a daily basis NAFO troll. Chemo Brain and too much Russian Vodka is not good for your health Comrade.

the Tomahawk emerged in the 1970s as a modular cruise missile first manufactured by General Dynamics. The Tomahawk aimed to fulfill the need for a medium- to long-range, low-altitude missile with diverse capabilities. Its modular design allows for compatibility with a range of warheads, including high-explosive, submunitions, and bunker-busters. The Tomahawk can use a variety of guidance systems, including GPS, inertial navigation, and terrain contour matching.
Terrain contour matching is immune to electronic warfare counter measures.

Seems like only advances made recently are at best unconfirmed
ISS reports that Russia is embellishing their gains so that they appear to be gaining more territory than they are for propaganda reasons.
I’m guessing that’s what Trump is seeing now.
And that latest report from around Pokrovsk was eye opening. The early reports of a Russian breakthrough are reported now as a Russian disaster.

Because of Scottson’s extensive knowledge in geopolitics and military issues, he knew already back in August 2022, that Iranian drones weren’t being sent to Russia, calling the claim “complete crap”.
A month later he was selling T-shirts promoting Iranian drones, again claiming that “all proceeds go to charities helping the Donbass.” I think it would be an interesting investigation to see where the money actually went.

This propaganda account known here as John Barron is a fascinating example of the Russian attempts to misinform all corners on the internet no matter how obscure. Relentless street shitting liars.
It’s like the crackhead Kevin in the Coursey area that works so hard to scam people for money. If he’d just focus that energy on a legitimate job he would be doing just fine.
If Russia could turn their lying and bullshite spreading into technology, they would lead the world.
