Kharkiv Breakthrough: Kupiansk Road Under Fire - Jason Jay Smart

A Russian General has vanished from the Kupiansk front after his report to Moscow was exposed as a lie. The commander responsible for the northern sector falsified maps to claim the city was captured, but when Ukrainian forces pushed forward on the P-79 road, they found the defense lines empty. This is a purge. Officers are now being removed for failing to deliver the impossible victories promised to Putin.

In Crimea, the failure is physical. Su-27 Flanker jets were destroyed on the runway at Belbek Airbase, right inside the air defense zone that was supposed to keep them safe. This proves the Black Sea Fleet can no longer protect its own aviation wing. Russia is losing advanced airframes faster than its industrial base can replace them, and pilots are burning on the tarmac.

Moscow is now selling its future to pay for the war. The Kremlin just sold nearly one billion dollars in gold reserves to Chinese buyers to keep the economy moving. A state that sells strategic bullion for oxygen is a state running out of options. Add the leaked audio of soldiers starving on the front line, and the conclusion is clear: the system is breaking from the treasury vault to the trench.
