Russia's Atesh partisan movement is growing! They recently hit a rail relay near Yekaterinburg, stalling shipments of crude oil, ammunition, and critical spare parts.

That, and Putin has been wanting to recreate the USSR/Eastern Bloc for over 30 years.
He's been attempting it since his 2014 illegal annex of Crimea. No resistance from anyone else led to where we are now.

what a shameless POS. And when his 'nothingburger' of a diplomatic solution fails to go anywhere - much like all his TACO bs to date (and remember Jared's 'middle east peace' agreement from last time? Ben Genocide sure doesn't) he can just f*** off. #JailTrump #TrumpFluffsPutin #DeposePutin
Don't count on it - there's years of mutual fluffing left between them before hopefully both kick the bucket. Why can't they both just go to mar-a-lameass and leave us out of it (and them out of our lives and country!) #jailTrump #deposePutin #trumplies #FuckTrump

![Putin has been an ineffective and cautious war leader, failing to achieve almost any of his stated military objectives three years into Russia's war against Ukraine, despite an estimated 900,000 Russians killed and wounded.[6] His forces have not captured Kyiv, as they set out to do in 2022, nor have they captured all of Kherson, Zaporizhia, or Donetsk oblasts. They have been on the offensive for roughly 18 months but have gained only limited territory — and almost no significant settlements — at a staggering cost in casualties and lost materiel. Putin failed to protect Russia's international borders, enabling Ukrainian forces to launch a months-long incursion into Kursk Oblast and to retain a small foothold in neighboring Belgorod Oblast. [7] Putin himself has publicly appeared on the frontlines in occupied Ukraine and Russia's border areas only three times in these three years. [8] Putin has been consistently risk-averse, including by delaying involuntary reserve mobilization. [9] Putin remains sufficiently afraid to push the limits of Russian society's support for the war that he brought North Korean soldiers to repel Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast instead of declaring a renewed involuntary mobilization.[10] Putin has mismanaged Russia's economy, which is suffering from increased war spending, inflation, labor shortages, and reductions in Russia's sovereign wealth fund.[11]

![The Kremlin is likely balancing Putin's domestic image against US President Donald Trump's image in Russia.
The Kremlin reportedly ordered Russian media to reduce reporting about Trump and portray Putin as a strong and decisive leader after the February 2025
Trump-Putin phone call.[34] Meduza reported in February 2025 that the Kremlin instructed Russian state-run and pro-government media outlets to frame Trump and Putin's February 12 call as Putin's "initiative and victory" and to use Trump's name less frequently. [35] Meduza reported that the Kremlin was concerned that the Russian public might see Trump as a more "proactive and decisive" leader than Putin.
An unnamed political strategist in the Russian Presidential Administration told Meduza that the Kremlin did not want the Russian public to perceive Trump as a "strong leader capable of changing the situation" and Putin as a passive or weak leader in comparison. [36]
Putin has also been trying to present himself as equal to Trump and to present Russia as a global power comparable to the United States and as the heir to the Soviet Union's superpower status. [37]
Portraying Putin as a 'caring' wartime leader
Putin seems unconcerned by the estimated 900,000 Russian servicemen killed and wounded in a war in which Putin has so far failed to accomplish almost a single stated objective. Putin continues to develop new ways to punish anyone who speaks out against his war effort and views such people, including members of women's and veterans' movements, as threats to his](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zjnihh2ioeytstn5wmnw7mac/bafkreicpiu6ybhru2m5o3omb4z2s76a7epwiyrjh3abjwkickxj6oaegva)

![Russian military gains have been mediocre compared to the Kremlin's stated war aims. Russia had not seized any large cities in Ukraine since Summer 2022 and remains unable to make dramatic advances on the battlefield.[50] The Russian gains came at the cost of massive personnel losses.[51] Russia only gained 1,627 square kilometers in Ukraine and Russia's Kursk Oblast between January and April 2025 at a reported cost of 160,600 casualties. [52] Russian forces occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine. At the current monthly rate of advance in Ukraine, it would take Russian forces over 152 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, if Russia can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely. Russian victory is thus hardly inevitable.
Ukraine has achieved many successes against a larger and wealthier adversary. Ukraine denied Russia its objective of seizing Kyiv. Ukrainian counteroffensives liberated a significant portion of Kharkiv Oblast and Kherson City in November 2022. Ukraine has driven Russia's Black Sea Fleet out of the western Black Sea and the occupied ports in Crimea.[53] Ukraine destroyed expensive and hard-to-replace Russian weapon systems with Western weapons and Ukraine's own low- and medium-cost unmanned systems.[54] Ukraine holds targets deep in the Russian rear at risk through its long-range attack capability. Ukraine stood up large-scale domestic development and production of drones within just three years.[55] Ukraine pioneered the establishment of an Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) command to adapt to the realities of modern warfare, and Russia is trying to catch up to Ukraine's successful integration of drones into its force structure and on the](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zjnihh2ioeytstn5wmnw7mac/bafkreib425mdlzhpz2jwrcbr3wikjohjoy5ccfyq4umhr5xges4vxuxnkm)

![Russian efforts to cover up its weakness have mixed success and often backfire. Russian state media was unprepared to cover the rout of Russian forces from Kharkiv Oblast in Fall 2022. The Russian MoD's inability to admit Russian failures in Kharkiv Oblast and effectively set information conditions led to a crisis in the Russian information space. Kremlin-sponsored TV propagandists offered a wide range of confused explanations for Ukrainian successes, ranging from justifications that Russian forces were fighting against the entire Western Bloc to downplaying the importance of Russian ground lines of communication in Kupyansk, which the counteroffensive liberated. [76] The Kremlin's propagandists were disorganized in their narratives, with some confirming the liberation of certain towns and others refuting such reports.
Conclusion
The Kremlin relies on numerous information efforts to conceal Putin's and Russia's weaknesses. These efforts include but are not limited to grandiose military parades, demonstrative war zone visits, meetings with veterans and their families, and misrepresentation of Russia's battlefield realities. These efforts allow the Kremlin to justify its war efforts in Ukraine, legitimize its rule, and manipulate the Western perception of Russia's capabilities. The abundance and the Kremlin's prioritization of these information efforts, however, reveal that the Kremlin is plagued with military, domestic, and diplomatic weaknesses that it desperately tries to misrepresent and conceal. Western leaders and observers of this war should focus on the realities of the situation on the battlefield and the very real constraints on](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zjnihh2ioeytstn5wmnw7mac/bafkreihjts4l3pyxrqgsths43cnmlfjjembak2pc3tmv2z67vjijck5eda)
