Russia's War Machine Collapses as Supply Lines Cut - Kyiv Post



Russia is losing ground on the battlefield as Ukraine advances with precision strikes and relentless pressure. Supply lines are being severed, refineries and weapons factories deep inside Russia are under attack, and the Kremlin is facing fuel shortages that have created long gas lines at home. Advanced Ukrainian drones are crippling defenses and leaving Moscow unable to hold its positions. Mobilization of new soldiers has not reversed the losses and has instead stretched Russia’s forces even thinner across multiple fronts. Europe is also taking direct action by choking off the Russian shadow fleet, proving that Moscow’s harassment abroad can be stopped cold.

In this interview, Jason Jay Smart of Kyiv Post speaks with former U.S. Navy SEAL squadron leader Chuck Pfarrer. Together they analyze the collapse of Russia’s war machine, the momentum Ukraine is building, and what these turning points mean for the months ahead.

its still going to be a struggle, but its clear that Russia can win, yet Ukraine will still suffer until Russia fails.
