$1.1B flowed from the state budget into the pockets of ministers, police generals and judges. Now Russia claws it back.

Over 5–7 years, authorities seized 100B rubles in corruption cases.

In total, the state grabbed 4T rubles ($44B) in assets. It sold only 8%. ––Moscow Times.1/ Image
Example: billionaire Konstantin Strukov.

The state seized his gold company Yuzhuralzoloto. He had funded United Russia for years. Now he sits in pretrial detention. 2/
Mid-level officials fell too. Former Ural road chief Alexei Borisov owned: 19 land plots, 15 houses, 26 apartments, 40 commercial spaces. Authorities moved to confiscate them. 3/
Former Sochi mayor Alexei Kopaygorodsky: 50 properties, 15 land plots, 10 cars. Former Rostov transport minister Vladimir Okunev: 30 properties, 25 cars. 4/
Former head of Adygea’s Supreme Court Aslan Trakhov: 114 land plots, 26 houses, several shopping centers — accumulated over 20 years in office. The state now scrambles to manage what it seized.

Former CIA Director Petraeus: Ukraine plans to produce 7 million drones this year, compared to roughly 300,000 in the US. It’s at the forefront of modern warfare.

If you want to see the future of war, come to Ukraine — on both sides, innovation is moving fast.

1/
Petraeus: Ukraine’s innovation is extraordinary. I’ve never seen anything like it. The speed at which new drone capabilities are deployed is remarkable.

It has helped offset Russia’s advantages — five times more manpower and an economy 10–15 times larger.

2/
Petraeus: In Ukraine, those who design, build, and use drones are the same people, working fast.

The US system is far more cumbersome. Ukraine is creating tomorrow’s tech for today’s war. We need to transform much of our force.

Former CIA Director Petraeus: I said from the start Russia would not take Kyiv. Others predicted it would fall in 3–5 days. Kyiv is a vast city with brave defenders.

It would be extremely hard to break in — and Ukraine’s actions denied Russia the airfield north of the capital.1/
Petraeus: The Budapest Memorandum was a major failure.

Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from the US, Russia, and the UK and those guarantees weren’t upheld. This is Ukraine’s war for independence — a fight for its very survival.

2/
Petraeus: US sanctions are under Senate review.

If paired with the EU’s 19th package and continued military support, the pressure could be strong enough to push Putin toward a ceasefire by the end of the year.

Former CIA Director Petraeus: When about 20 drones violated Polish airspace, Warsaw didn’t call Brussels or Washington, it called Kyiv.

Ukraine is the most advanced in building a “drone wall,” showing how to defend vast front lines.

1/
Petraeus: I don’t think Russia will move against a NATO country until it achieves its aims in Ukraine — and likely takes Moldova next.

Russian troops remain in Transnistria. After that, a Baltic state, possibly Lithuania, could be targeted.

I really tried to listen to the lecture, but all I heard was a woman crying against the wall near me.

A mother crying, searching for her son.

And my own mother’s voice: ‘Hold on, another rocket is coming’ — Yuliia, a KSE student in Ukraine, Kyiv.

1/ Image
Yuliia: We fled Kharkiv on day one of the invasion.

That’s how my life of endless rented apartments and new schools began.

Ivano-Frankivsk felt calm — until a missile hit a university on my street and power cuts lasted 16 hours a day.

2/ Image
Yuliia: I knew I’d study in Ukraine. Kyiv drew me with opportunity. I never imagined it would become my hardest test.

We always hid in cold underground shelters with my parents, so I was sick all winter.

But the real hell started in summer.

Angela Stent, Former National Intel Officer: Every time Witkoff claims progress on Ukraine, the next day Putin or Lavrov restate the same demands — withdrawal from Donbas and “denazification”.

They also cite an “Anchorage formula” no US official confirms. It’s obfuscation. 1/
Stent: Russia's negotiations are entirely performative.

They follow Soviet and post-Soviet tactics: negotiate to create a process and wear people down. Putin wants to humor Trump to avoid more punitive actions from the US administration. 2X

Former Amb. to Ukraine, William Taylor: Putin can't break Ukraine’s will. He’s tried for 4 years.

They don’t show signs of breaking. Soldiers, civilians, people in and out of government know that if they lose, there’s no Ukraine. They have to win and stop the Russians. 1/
Taylor: We want to see Ukrainians stop the Russians. Europeans want the same because Russia is a clear threat to them.

They’re stepping up with a $100B loan and continued funds. If big neighbors invade little ones and prevail, that’s not the world we want to live in. 2/
Taylor: Zelenskyy says Europeans have to step up more and prepare for a time when Americans are not there. He’s probably right.

Trump may not change. Europeans need to build up, provide weapons, and strengthen the defense industrial base. 3X
