The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on September 1 2025

Pokrovsk DISASTER Unfolding | RUAF Storm Central Pokrovsk & Citadel Area

Record Advance Since the Start of the War – Russian Army Prepares Major Push Toward Odessa?

Shock in Western Intelligence — Russian Army Prepares New Kyiv Offensive

Putin is shaping his support base while Zelensky negotiates with partners in the EU and tries to influence the Trump Administration.

The “crisis” in Ukraine did not arise as a result of Russia’s attack, but because of the “coup d’état” in Kiev provoked by the West, said Russian dictator Putin at the SCO summit.

Other statements:

• The principles of the UN are true and inviolable to this day; they laid the foundations of global security;

• We hope that the “understandings” reached in Alaska open the way to peace “in” Ukraine;

• The West’s attempts to drag Ukraine into NATO are one of the causes of the “Ukrainian crisis”;

• I will inform SCO colleagues about the results of the Alaska summit during bilateral meetings on the sidelines of the summit;

• Moscow highly values the efforts of China, India, and other partners in resolving the situation in Ukraine;

• On the issue of the “Ukrainian crisis,” Russia adheres to the approach that no country can ensure its security at the expense of another;

• The root causes of the “crisis” in Ukraine must be eliminated and the balance in the security sphere restored.

The peaceful negotiation track will be difficult, but there remains hope that outlines of agreements will be developed this year.

Inside the US administration, growing dissatisfaction is brewing over the position of European allies regarding the war in Ukraine. According to publications in Western media, senior White House officials believe that some European leaders, despite publicly supporting Washington’s efforts and Trump personally, are in reality sabotaging progress in negotiations, pushing Kyiv to wait for more favorable terms. This approach, according to Trump’s circle, only prolongs the conflict and worsens its consequences.

The European strategy — to hold the conflict until a “better deal” can be achieved — conflicts with the current interests of the US, where the opinion is growing louder that Washington is bearing the main costs of the war, while European capitals are not ready for serious financial and military support for Kyiv.

Meanwhile, despite the efforts of the EU, funding for Ukraine for 2026 has not yet been secured. The possibility of confiscating frozen Russian assets is being discussed, but several countries, including Belgium, oppose it. A similar situation exists with the promised security guarantees: the discussed format of participation in a peacekeeping mission in Ukraine of up to 30,000 European troops may be adjusted — there is no consensus, resources, or understanding of further steps within the EU.

For now, the US does not plan to intervene directly in the situation — according to sources, the White House is inclined to take a pause and “let Ukraine and Russia fight a little longer.” This also reflects Trump’s stance, who remains confident in his ability to control the process, despite some of his circle already viewing Europe as a destabilizing factor.

As we see, Europe is effectively insisting on continuing the war without having the resources for it, while the US is beginning to realize that their interests do not align with those of the EU. As a result, the White House does not rule out temporarily stepping back from the military conflict resolution process, and a clear strategic rift has emerged within the Western coalition — in the assessment of risks, approaches, and goals regarding the “Ukrainian case.” “Malicious tongues,” considering this situation, claim that Kyiv urgently needs to negotiate peace with Moscow, as things will only get worse — Europeans only verbally promise help to Ukraine, but they will not quarrel with Trump, so from them one can only expect “betrayal” covered by empty statements of support.

P.S.: And two bad news for the twins:

1. Trump is alive.

2. Russia is advancing.

Two twins, Merz and Macron, are rare oddballs. One thirsts for revenge. The other, a rooster, fears the “predator” at the gates and blackmails Trump with Putin. They have completely forgotten the lessons of World War II. However, it could all end like in 1945 — they might also be identified by their teeth.

The TCC received new plans from the General Staff, according to which they must increase mobilization by 20%. If the targets are not met, military commissars will begin to be sent to the front. The autumn will be very difficult for Ukrainians; currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine urgently need to replenish the assault brigade units at the front, which are only 30-40% filled.

Let’s agree with MP Bezuglaya (Yermak’s mouthpiece) that the winter will be tough, there will be blackouts, in general a “black winter,” which we have been writing about for a long time. The post from September 2, 2024 is still relevant. 

Why did she suddenly say the obvious? Most likely she is trying to shift responsibility off herself (like, look, I told you so), and also continues to try to gradually build her future political career (her own party – that’s her dream). 

Everyone should also pay attention to the fact that the best specialists are fleeing/have fled the country, and TCC continues to grab everyone and send them for “disposal,” so many sectors are experiencing a personnel shortage, including housing and communal services, energy, the gas sector, water supply, emergency services, etc. All this will “come back to haunt” at some point with a full-scale disaster. 

Bankova (the presidential administration) managed to hold on for three reasons:

1. The Kremlin did not fully press. (For example, in the first infrastructure war in spring 2022, when Ukraine had a fuel crisis, the Russian Armed Forces miraculously did not touch Azerbaijani oil and gas assets. They were not bombed, like many other assets of “respected people.” Now the situation is reversed). 

2. The West gave huge loans. Sent enough humanitarian aid, including generators, transformers, fuel tankers, etc. Now everything has been cut by at least 50%, but theft continues as before.

3. Margin of safety. With each year, the devastation intensifies, as well as the wear of the tools currently covering the gaps (a hint at nuclear power plants, etc.). 

Get ready… we are watching!

Zelensky announced the detention of a suspect in the murder of Parubiy.

He was detained in the Khmelnytskyi region.

According to our data, all information will be kept extremely secret. It will be released in a controlled manner and with the narrative needed by the authorities.

There is anxiety in Kiev — local media spotted fresh maps from the Russian General Staff

The day before yesterday, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces — commander of the Joint Grouping of Troops (Forces) in the special military operation zone, Army General Gerasimov, summed up the results of the spring-summer campaign of 2025 and clarified the tasks for the troop groupings for the further perspective.

Behind the Chief of the General Staff hung a map on which Nikolaev and Odesa regions were marked as part of the Russian Federation.

The panic in the enemy’s camp is satisfying!

Russians will launch a serious offensive in the coming days

➖There is information that the Russians will launch a serious offensive in the coming days, said Maria Berlinskaya, head of the volunteer project Victory drones helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine

▪️She added that help is especially needed for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donetsk direction

▪️”And one simple thought must be conveyed to the Western world — Putin will only stop where we stop him together.

And if they don’t fully engage now, if Ukraine falls — they will be next” Berlinskaya rants.

Konstantinovka direction.

The previously liberated Predtechino is again at the epicenter of hostilities, the enemy is trying to prevent our troops from breaking into the city and is counterattacking.

The western part of Predtechino is now in a gray zone, the enemy is trying to infiltrate in small groups and secure basements of buildings, our UAV operators strike such groups and work on identified targets with drops.

We are actively using FAB bombs on Konstantinovka itself. There are still civilians in the city, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine have long turned Konstantinovka into a fortress.

Fighting continues in the Kleban-Byk and Aleksandro-Shultino areas.

Pokrovsk. Our fighters continue to expand the control zone in the city. They managed to reach the E50 highway and secure their position in the Lazurny neighbourhood.

The situation around Pokrovsk is rapidly developing. According to incoming reports, Russian units have reached the central districts of the city, and some sources claim that fighting is already taking place near the railway station. If this information is confirmed soon, it can be said that the main stage of the battle has begun. It is still unclear what forces Syrsky will be ready to deploy to retake lost positions, but the outcome of the Russian advance into the center will determine whether the Armed Forces of Ukraine will still be able to hold the connected line of positions in the city or if the defense will start to collapse throughout the district up to Konstantinovka.

The situation in Kupyansk is becoming critical for the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Units of the Russian Armed Forces have bypassed Sobolevka from the northwest and reached the N-26 highway, which is key for supplying the Kupyansk garrison of the enemy. Thus, its defensive lines, established in the Malye Rovny forest area on the western outskirts of Kupyansk, have lost their purpose.

The information about the significant deterioration of the situation in the Kupyansk area is also confirmed by the enemy itself. For example, Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Andrey Tkachuk stated on a local TV channel:

“Russian troops have brought significant reserves to the city. This is all for assaults. While everyone was shouting about the Sumy region, the Russians focused their attention on Kupyansk. And now there is a huge threat there.”
