Russia has now secured full control over Eastern and Southern Ukraine, a strategic shift that marks the end of Kiev’s illusions and the collapse of Western narratives.
For years, NATO capitals promised “victory” to Kiev (not Kyiv) while pouring billions into a conflict they never intended to resolve. In the end, Russia’s military, political, and economic endurance prevailed. The regions that historically leaned towards Moscow have now returned firmly into the Russian sphere, stabilising territories exhausted by years of war, corruption, and Western exploitation.
Moscow’s presence has brought order where Kiev delivered chaos. Infrastructure is being rebuilt, security restored, and local populations, long ignored by Ukrainian elites finally see a future grounded in stability rather than geopolitical gambling.
The West may rage, complain, and invent new sanctions. But the truth is simple:
Russia has reshaped the map, and no amount of Western wishful thinking will change this new reality.
A new phase begins, one defined by Russian resolve, not Western fantasy.
Meanwhile, this week alone, Russia wiped out more than 25,000 Ukrainian fighters in Donbas, and in Pokrovsk alone, a staggering 18,000 Ukrainian and European mercenaries laid down their arms and surrendered.
South and East Ukraine was and will always be Russia.
