Hello Braden and thank you for your interest in Ukraine and support!
It is obvious that Ukraine is trying to destroy what it can with the means it has. russia, on the other hand, can freely choose its targets and, as of today, even be sure that every missile will reach it. Terror? Of course. And what else could the war of attrition that Zelensky once declared actually be? Only I ask the question again: how do you expect to exhaust an enemy whose resources are many times greater than yours? To grab even more people on the streets? This is precisely what is destroying inside the country that russia did not destroy with its missiles. Recently, the level of hatred for Zelensky has increased significantly. People no longer find him funny. Probably because after the last winter even his most mentally limited supporters finally understood that powerful slogans cannot stop the enemy and heat the house, and they themselves have already become victims of the regime they chose. The russians probably left the destruction of the remnants of energy, water supply sources and bridges for last.
The intelligence-sharing relationship between the U.S. and Ukraine has bounced back to previous highs, according to long-time Ukraine watchers — a welcome boost during a critical window of opportunity for the Ukrainian war effort, writes Politico. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/05/us-ukraine-intelligence-sharing-01026525
But overall, I agree with the conclusions of Owen Matthews of The Spectator that n important turning point has been reached in russia’s war on Ukraine. But unfortunately for Kyiv, it’s not the ‘tide is turning’ in Ukraine’s favour narrative that Volodymyr Zelensky has been pushing ever since his long-range drone attacks began smashing oil refineries and logistics warehouses deep inside russia and sinking dozens of ships in the Sea of Azov. Rather, last night not one of the 27 ballistic missiles fired by russia at and around Kyiv was shot down. By the terrible arithmetic of war, the casualty numbers were not in themselves game-changing. But Ukraine’s inability to stop incoming ballistic missiles – especially Zircon and Kindzhal hypersonic missiles that travel at up to nine times the speed of sound – is a fundamental strategic flaw that the Kremlin is exploiting mercilessly. As Zelensky himself said last month, “ballistic missiles are russia’s last strategic advantage.” https://spectator.com/article/a-grim-turning-point-has-been-reached-in-russias-war-on-ukraine/
His simple calculations show that there simply are not enough Patriot complexes and interceptor missiles for it in the world, as well as the ability to quickly produce them, in contrast to the number of missiles produced by russia, North Korea and Iran. I am not talking about China. But in the case of Ukraine, there is a real threat that russia will also begin forced mobilization in the fall. What will Ukraine be able to counter this?
Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny said that Russia was able to find ways to counter almost all types of NATO weapons that Ukraine used during the war. “Ukraine used all types of weapons, except for the Tomahawks, nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers and F-35s that are in NATO service, and applied the doctrines of their use. The resource is exhausted. The russian ederation found a countermeasure to all this,” Zaluzhny said.

The US used everything except nuclear weapons in Iran with a known result.
The last missile attacks destroyed many production facilities and warehouses, including Bosch and Toyota, which may discourage the desire to continue working in Ukraine even for those foreign companies that were here. What can we say about new investments? But no matter how ridiculous it may seem, unable to change the world, I continue to work on improving myself and prepare for the time when my knowledge, skills and abilities will again be in demand and appreciated. Recently, due to constant missile attacks and high temperatures (+30C and more), I feel not very well and exhausted. But you know what keeps me going and does not lose faith.
