Into the Fog That Shrouds Ukraine

Live from Ukraine ????????
ALLA AND I JUST LAUNCHEDA NEW FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO PURCHASE DRONE DETECTORS
If supported, it may be vital to us????????????????
Zaporizhzhia I am writing this dispatch after skirting the entire southern flank of Ukraine, which, since the fall of Avdiivka, has seen Russian forces advance from the east, blurring the line between those two fronts.
In the past few hours, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have been forced to retreat from areas including Novouspenivske, Nove, Okhotnyche, Uspenivka, and Novomykolaivka, allowing Russian occupation forces to advance just enough to contain them near Rivnopillia, Solodke, and Yablukove. This tactical retreat was aimed at consolidating forces by occupying more defensible terrain, as the Russians had already razed whats left of the former urban areas.
Firingover 400 artillery shellsmostly North Koreaneach day, targeting shelters and logistics withChinese-made drones and conscripts from at least 50 different nationalities, the Russians pushed the Ukrainians to retreat, capturing at least three villages.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyj, stated that the Russians exploited the fog to intensify their military activity in those areas, capitalizing on their significant numerical advantage. All of this is true. For days, the fog in these regions has been so thick that it has made it hard to move around, even for those like me who know how to navigate without relying on a GPS signal that is often missing, are familiar with the local places and people, and speak Ukrainian.
However, it is also true thatthe gap between the forces attacking Ukraine and those defending it is now enormous. Supported by Chinas industrial giant, which produces engines and components for UAVs and glide bombs assembled in Russia,Moscow is following Kyivs lead in drone warfare to such an extent that it has regained much of the lost ground. Like the Ukrainians, the Russians have formed divisions dedicated to remotely piloting unmanned devices. The difference is thatthey can rely on a steady supply of equipment from the worlds most productive industrial sector in this field and on the loyalty of the regime that controls it. Simultaneously,Putin can rely on a continuous supply of North Korean artillery, missiles, personnel, and equipment.Additionally,Russian recruitment efforts in Africa, as the Ukrainian Foreign Minister mentioned yesterday, involve recruiting from as many as 36 countries on the continent, providing enough human resources to be deployed with the same intensity as technical ones.The Russian regime also benefits from the complicity of the worlds leading economic and military powers, which, thanks to Washingtons silent approval, hinder NATOs efforts to bolster Ukraines defenses. Explicitly, US officialsreiteratedyesterday thatat the UN, the United States will not support Ukraines territorial integrity and sovereignty and will not condemn Russian aggression as such.Lastly,the rashist war machine will continue to be fueled by a steady stream of European funds until at least January 2027, when the ban on Russian hydrocarbon importssomething several countries are already planning to circumventtakes effect. The Lithuanian presidentadmittedthatby financing the Russian economy more (with 21.9 billion in 2025 alone) than Ukraines (18.7 billion during the same period), the EU is financially on Russias side.
Ukraine is also facing internal threats. Following a recent investigation into high-level corruption in the energy sector by NABU and SAP, many media outlets, including Ukrainian ones, are now issuing verdicts that favor Putins interests even before his trial is scheduled. It is inside these independent anti-corruption bodiesdescribed as untouchable by Brussels recommendationsthat SBU agents recentlyconducted49 searches approved by Ukraines Prosecutor General. Twenty-five of these searches led to the suspicion and subsequent indictment of 16 senior officials for treason and collaboration with Russian intelligence agencies. These investigationsresultedin the detention of top NABU officers, such as Viktor Husarov, who remains held on espionage charges for the Russian Federal Security Service.
To truly succeed, Putin needs Zelenskys downfall. He is not only Ukraines president but also the leader of Ukraines Resistance and the main hurdle to Russian victory. With decisions that often saved Ukraine from disaster, Zelensky embodies the Spirit of Ukraine that Putin aims to destroyusing the right tools to exploit the vulnerabilities of a democratic nation during wartime.
Given these conditions, its remarkable that the Russians managed to infiltrate only 300 men into a city like Pokrovsk, which theyve been trying to take for two years, and to occupy three small settlements near Oleksandrivka and Huliapole.
The fog that shrouds Ukraine isnt limited to just there.
Through our crowdfunding campaign,we aim to purchase and install drone detection devices on each of our vehicles to protect against drone attacks in hot zones. Anti-drone РЕБ devices have proven effective against traditional wireless drones, but are completely ineffective against those connected via fiber-optic cables. We are launching this new campaign to ensure that none of those war machines will hit us when we approach the frontlines where we write our articles.Your support will not only protect us but also the civilians and defenders within the devices range.
Alla和我發起一項新的募捐活動，購買無人機探測器

進入籠罩烏克蘭的迷霧
作者：Giorgio Provinciali
烏克蘭現場報道????????
紮波羅熱（Zaporizhzhia）我是在繞過烏克蘭整個南翼後寫下這篇快訊的，自從阿夫迪伊卡陷落以來，俄軍從東部推進，模糊了兩條戰線之間的界限。
在過去的幾個小時裏，烏克蘭國防軍被迫從諾沃尤斯佩尼夫斯克、諾韋、奧茲尼奇、烏斯佩尼夫卡和諾沃米科拉伊夫卡等地區後撤，讓俄羅斯占領軍在裏夫諾皮利亞、索洛德克和雅布盧科夫附近推進到足以遏製他們。這次戰術性撤退旨在通過占領更具防禦性的地形來鞏固陣地，因為俄軍已經夷平了前述地區的剩餘部分。
俄方每天發射超過400發炮彈，其中大多數是朝鮮製造的；並利用中國製造的無人機和來自至少50個不同國籍的應征入伍者攻擊掩體和後勤，俄軍不斷向烏軍施壓，迫使其後退，奪取了至少三個村莊。

烏克蘭武裝部隊總司令奧列克桑德錫爾斯基表示，俄軍利用濃霧並借助其明顯的兵力優勢，加劇了在這些地區的軍事行動。這一切都是真的。多日來，這些地區的霧非常濃密，以至於很難四處走動，即使是像我這樣知道如何在不依賴經常缺失的GPS信號情況下導航、熟悉當地地形和人員、會講烏克蘭語的人也是如此。
然而，還有一個事實，即攻擊烏克蘭的力量與防禦的力量之間的差距如今已變得巨大。在中國這個工業大國的支持下，使用其生產的用於無人機和滑翔炸彈的引擎和零件並在俄羅斯組裝完畢，莫斯科現在無人機作戰方麵已緊隨基輔的領先，已大幅收複失去的陣地。像烏軍一樣，俄軍也成立了專門用於遠程操控無人駕駛設備的部門。
不同之處在於，他們可以依靠該領域內全球最具生產力的工業部門提供的持續設備供應，以及掌控該部門的政權的忠誠。同時，普京還可以依靠持續供應的朝鮮炮彈、導彈、人員和設備。此外，正如烏克蘭外交部長昨日提到的，俄軍在非洲的招募也在進行，涉及非洲大陸多達36個國家，為了補充充足的人力資源，以與設備資源相同的強度進行部署。俄政權還得益於全球主要經濟和軍事強國的串通，在華盛頓的默許下，阻礙北約加強烏克蘭防禦的努力。美國官員昨天明確重申，在聯合國，美國不會支持烏克蘭的領土完整和主權獨立，也不會譴責俄羅斯的侵略。最後，至少在2027年1月前，俄羅斯的戰爭機器將能夠繼續依靠歐洲資金的持續支持；到那時，俄羅斯碳氫化合物進口禁令將生效，其實一些國家已經計劃規避這一禁令。立陶宛總統承認，通過向俄羅斯經濟持續提供資金（僅2025年就有219億歐元），遠多於同期為烏克蘭經濟提供的資金（同期為187億歐元），歐盟在財政上站在俄羅斯一邊。

烏克蘭也麵臨內部威脅。繼國家反腐敗局（NABU）和國家安全局（SAP）最近對能源領域高層腐敗展開調查後，許多媒體，包括烏克蘭的媒體，也在審判尚未開始之前就發表了有利於普京利益的判決。在這些被布魯塞爾建議稱為不可觸碰的獨立反腐機構內部，國家安全局近期在烏克蘭總檢察長的批準下進行了49次搜查。其中25次搜查導致16名高級官員因被懷疑叛國罪和與俄羅斯情報機構合作而被隨後被起訴。這些調查還導致烏克蘭反腐敗局的高層官員被拘留，例如維克托胡薩羅夫，他目前仍然因為俄羅斯聯邦安全局（FSB）從事間諜活動的指控被關押。
要真正取得勝利，普京需要澤連斯基的倒台。他不僅是烏克蘭的總統，更是烏克蘭抵抗運動的領導者，也是俄羅斯獲勝的主要障礙。澤連斯基做出的許多決策挽救了烏克蘭免於災難，他體現了普京旨在摧毀的烏克蘭精神在戰時利用恰當的手段，破解一個民主國家的脆弱性。

鑒於上述條件，俄羅斯隻設法將300人滲透到像波克羅夫斯克這樣已試圖占領兩年的城市，且還占領了奧列克桑德裏夫卡和胡利亞波萊附近的三個小型定居點，這令人感到驚訝。
籠罩著烏克蘭的濃霧不僅限於那裏。

我們的目標是，通過我們的眾籌活動，可以在每輛車上購買和安裝無人機探測設備，以防止在前線熱點地區遭受無人機襲擊。反無人機РЕБ設備對傳統無線無人機效果良好，但對通過光纖連接的無人機完全無效。我們發起這場新募捐，希望確保在我們接近前線寫作時，這些設備都不會擊中我們。您的支持不僅能保護我們，也能保護有效範圍內的平民和烏克蘭戰士。
