1/ GENERAL LEONID IVASHOV STRONGLY CRITICIZES THE RUSSIAN LEADERSHIP
The well-known Russian general, General Leonid Ivashov, has sharply criticized the Russian leadership and assessed the 1,400 days of the “special military operation” as follows:
2/ 📌 “Before the start of the ‘special military operation,’ I issued a warning. And the past four years have proven the correctness and seriousness of those assessments.”
3/ 📌 “We have achieved no success at the tactical-operational level, and at the strategic level we have failed on ALL fronts.”
📌 “All industrial sectors have been destroyed.”
📌 “Science is in critical condition, and education has completely collapsed."
4/ 📌 “The judicial system is deeply corrupt. All judges are appointed by the president… I repeat, 98% of major corruption crimes are linked to members of the United Russia party.”
📌 “Rising prices are an alarming sign; the Russian people are becoming poorer and poorer.”
5/ 📌 “Healthcare is in ruins. All regions are cutting healthcare spending.”
📌 “Food quality is getting worse; palm oil is everywhere; food in Russia is becoming toxic.”
6/ 📌 “The only area in which Russia ‘leads’ the world is population trends. We are the leading nation in DISAPPEARANCE. Even without war—the war only accelerates the rapid decline in the number of men.”
7/ 📌 “Our leaders boast that no one has weapons like ours.” It would be more accurate to say that nowhere in the military sphere is there as much corruption as in our country.
8/ 📌 “The very fact that we are diplomatically isolated, while permanent members of the UN Security Council issue statements supporting Ukraine, is a huge failure
9/ We are left only with allies like North Korea and Belarus, but they cannot help us—they can only drain our finances, and our finances are running out…”
📌 “I have worked with the Chinese for many years, but China is not our ally; that is a fabrication and Kremlin propaganda.”
10/ 📌 “Putin’s statements on the program ‘Direct Line’ are complete nonsense. Everything looks good on the screen, but wherever you look, you see failure. Putin is responsible for everything. He lives in his own world, surrounded by an imposed cult of personality.”
11/ But due to his own limitations, he failed to cope with the situation. Therefore, all areas—from the economy to the ‘special military operation’—have failed.
📌 “The strategic failure (in the war with Ukraine) could very well lead to the disintegration of Russia❗”
12/ In 2022, General Leonid Ivashov publicly opposed military action in Ukraine and urged Putin not to take this catastrophic step. “This war will threaten the very existence of Russia,” Leonid Ivashov wrote at the time.

2023:
Russian generals could not support the Wagner rebels, and the conflict between the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Wagner PMC, which lasted for several months, could have been resolved with a single phone call.

Retired Colonel-General, Chairman of the “All-Russian Officers’ Assembly” Leonid Ivashov spoke out against Russia’s war with Ukraine, in the preparation of which he accused the Russian authorities. meduza.io/news/2022/02/0…
Ivashov is likely aware that Russia is fully aware of Turkey's position in the geopolitical game, and it is currently winning rather than losing zavtra.ru/blogs/est_taka…
2/6 Retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, believes that Russia's failure in Ukraine could be the beginning of the end for the Russian Federation.
3/6 "There are centrifugal forces that will tear it apart," he said on the ABC News Daily podcast. "I believe that we need to be prepared for the possibility of the disintegration of the Russian Federation."
1/7 🐵🙈 Generals’ false reports convinced Putin he was winning the war - Financial Times
2/7 Since October, Putin has heard six public reports on the situation at the front, during which Russian generals openly lied about the “successes” of the Russian army.
3/7 Among other things, the Kremlin leader was informed about the alleged “capture” of Kupyansk, which President Vladimir Zelensky visited on December 12.
1/4 Kupyansk direction
The Russians crawled out of the gas pipe again, and it turned out to be another black day for them with 40,200 casualties.
Assault operations took place north of Novoplatonivka.
2/4 The bastards decided to use the gas pipeline running from Svatove to Oskol again, but something went wrong.
The 77th Airborne Brigade detected enemy groups emerging from the pipe in several places and began to eliminate them with bombers.
3/4 In total, 40 documented occupiers were destroyed in this area that day, and 54 in the entire brigade's zone — this number demonstrates the losses that the enemy can easily afford.
1/7 A new phase of fighting is beginning near Pokrovsk, one that is much more difficult and terrifying.
Pokrovsk has become a symbol of a new phase of the war, in which the enemy has lost at least 12,000, possibly 14,000, soldiers.
2/7 Our troops have received reinforcements and are holding back the aggressor's advance in the Pokrovsk-Mirnograd agglomeration.
Over the past day, the defence forces have stopped 50 enemy assaults. 123 occupiers have been neutralised.
3/7 Most of the enemy attacks took place in the area of responsibility of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov", namely the "Chervona Kalyna" brigade.
The enemy is trying to infiltrate with small assault groups.
1/4 For Europeans who still support Putin — you may soon find out what Russia is really about.
The Russian government has officially authorized its Ministry of Defense to terminate military cooperation agreements with multiple European countries.
2/4 These are not symbolic documents — they were signed throughout the 1990s and early 2000s as part of post–Cold War security architecture.
Germany. Poland. Norway. The UK. Denmark. The Netherlands. Belgium. Czechia. Bulgaria. Romania. Croatia.
3/4 This is not new behavior.
This is exactly how it started with Ukraine — first the withdrawal from agreements, then the dismantling of trust, then open aggression.
Russia breaks treaties not because others violate them, but because treaties limit its ability to coerce.
