Ukraine’s Turning Point
Many positive developments are emerging in favor of Ukraine reaching a turning point in the Russo-Ukrainian War
On Saturday, Aug. 24, Ukraine celebrated 33 years of independence from Moscow. Kyiv hasn’t staged military parades since the 2022 Russian invasion, but there certainly was cause for celebration this year.
Ukrainian troops invaded and occupied a chunk of Russia in the Kursk Oblast. The fallout from this audacious military conquest – plus the siege of Crimea and a significant drone attack on Moscow – has rattled the enemy, cratered the Ruble, undermined Vladimir Putin, and triggered geopolitical repositioning. Putin loses support at home and status abroad because his military, his red lines, and his Armageddon bluffs no longer work.
Cracks also appear inside Russia. Last year, Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin called for the war against Ukraine to end, staged a brief mutiny, and was assassinated. But since Kursk, another militia leader, Georgy Zakrevsky, said that the Russian army should overthrow Putin.
“Our country is not just on the brink of disaster; our country is already in big trouble,” he said. “Drones fly all over central Russia, up to Moscow and St. Petersburg. They even attacked the Kremlin. Our Black Sea fleet is being pushed out. The population is dying out, becoming impoverished, drinking itself to death – no one cares… And all this was done by the so-called ‘president’ – ‘The Great’ Putin.”
