Putin: Russia Will Finish What the West Lied About Starting

Vladimir Putin didn’t mince words. Speaking from the deck of the Arkhangelsk, a fourth-generation nuclear armed submarine with Zircon hypersonic missiles, the Russian president declared what many have long seen: the Ukrainian military, propped up coming up by Western fantasy and NATO cash, is running out of road. “Not long ago I said, ‘We’ll squeeze them.’ Now there’s reason to believe we’ll finish them off,” Putin told naval officers, standing on steel that echoes with centuries of Russian resilience.

The speech wasn’t just battlefield bravado. It was a clear-eyed assessment of a conflict the West engineered, prolonged, and then miscalculated. Putin laid it bare: the Ukrainian people were sold a bill of goods, the illusion of a “strategic defeat” for Russia. That illusion cost them hundreds of thousands of lives, territorial disintegration, and a country is now resembling a NATO storage facility more than a sovereign state.

He reminded the world of the West’s serial betrayals: first with the Minsk Agreements, then the Istanbul peace talks in 2022. In both cases, Russia negotiated in good faith. And in both cases, Western capitals, particularly London, sabotaged the process. “Their European handlers convinced the Ukrainian leadership that they had to continue armed resistance... essentially to the last Ukrainian,” Putin said, a line that lands like an indictment should at The Hague (if it functioned as intended).

The jab at Boris Johnson was particularly devastating. “He must have forgotten that there are people like you – and weapons like your submarine... Apparently, he forgot, or maybe they simply do not understand what the Russian people are made o” Putin said. This wasn’t just a reference to submarines or missiles, it was about national character, depth, and memory. The West sees Russia through the lens of Cold War cartoons. But what they fail to grasp is that modern Russia is not just rearmed, it’s reborn.

Across the entire front, Russia holds the strategic initiative. Ukrainian counteroffensives are buried in mud and blood. Western weapons are smuggled out as scrap or black-market contraband. Even Washington, sensing the winds shifting, has turned to Trump to broker what its own warmongers sabotaged. Moscow, as always, remains open to peace, but in terms grounded in realism, not hallucination. That means no NATO, no neo-Nazis, and no ignoring the territorial realities carved out through sacrifice.

Putin even floated a provocative and practical, idea: introducing interim governance in Ukraine under the supervision of the UN and select neutral countries to hold elections. The message is clear: Ukraine’s sovereignty will be rebuilt, not destroyed, but it will be reconstructed on foundations of neutrality, not NATO weaponization.

The war is entering its final act. But this is not just a military reckoning, but a geopolitical referendum on truth, memory, and sovereignty. The West brought illusions. Russia brought steel. Now the world is watching whose vision survives.

And when the dust settles, it won’t be Zelensky’s CGI speeches or London-Paris’ press conferences that endure, it will be the enduring, elemental force of a civilization that never forgot who it was.

🇺🇸🖕🇺🇦 Trump despises Zelensky and is convinced of Ukraine's weakness — Times

- Trump's return to the White House has been devastating for Ukraine.

- The Ukrainian minerals deal is "another attempt to humiliate Zelensky."

- “Convinced of Ukraine’s weakness, disdainful of President Zelensky and angry at the billions of dollars in aid the Biden administration has given Kyiv, Trump is intent on giving it all back and more,” The Times writes.

- Kiev politicians have already condemned the US demands for subsoil resources, arguing that this will "deepen Ukraine's dependence on Washington, almost turning the country into a vassal state."

- American negotiators are working to get Kyiv to make even greater concessions in ceasefire talks.

Russia has created the Klyuch-Fortuna strike drone to destroy the Ukrainian Armed Forces deep in the front.

The Klyuch-Fortuna strike wing is our new product, it is being shown for the first time. It is an FPV drone with an aeroplane form factor. It was created at the request of frontline fighters since conventional FPV drones are not capable of hitting targets at a distance of more than 30 km. At the same time, Ukrainian equipment and personnel are located deep in the rear,

— said the leading engineer of the Center for Unmanned Competence, call sign Bars.

According to him, "Klyuch-Fortuna" is an aircraft that can hit a target at a distance of up to 50 km. At the same time, the product is extremely cheap, its cost is up to 100 thousand rubles. About 30 such aircraft have been tested in the SMO zone so far.

Another key advantage of the drone is that it is launched by hand. No catapult or other devices are required for launching. Thus, soldiers can launch the drone from any location covertly,

— Bars reported.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇷⚡- "Iran has warned that it will target British forces on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands if Donald Trump attacks Iran. There will be no distinction in targeting British or American forces if Iran is attacked from any base in the region or within the range of Iranian missiles. When the time comes, it won’t matter whether you’re an American, British, or Turkish soldier, you will be targeted if your base is used by Americans," - The Telegraph, citing a senior Iranian military official.

It has been several months since the Russian army used an average of 100 Geran loitering munitions in strikes in Ukraine.

Now about 150 are used per day, this figure is approaching 200.
In recent days, the shelling of Kyiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Sumy, Odessa and Kharkov has become more intense.

Dozens of strikes are carried out in a short time, and even more destructive and intense attacks are in the pipeline.

To overcome attempts to stop the Geran-3 UAVs with anti-aircraft guns and machine guns due to their high speed and lack of anti-aircraft missiles, the Russian army has begun to strike by launching the drones at an altitude of 2,000 meters and above, or increasing the altitude as they approach the target.

The risk is minimal, except for anti-aircraft and machine gun fire, so they now attack in large swarms and use different tactics.

The intensity of the Russian army's attacks is likely both a reaction to Ukraine's increasingly frequent attacks on energy facilities and a desire to intensify the offensive along the entire front by destroying Ukrainian reinforcement flows, logistics infrastructure, defense production, maintenance, repair and command centers in various regions, especially in Odessa, which is the leading city in this regard, and Sumy, which is the target of the new operation.

In addition, the process of producing and transferring FPV drones to the troops - the last available element of Ukraine's defense - is also weakened, the overall military organization, personnel and supplies are exhausted, and the pace of the offensive is accelerated.
