‘Hello Darkness My Old Friend…’
As the dust settles in some global theaters, the Ukrainian conflict stubbornly persists. The emboldened populace seems to have placed their hopes in a European coalition, even as American financial support steadily diminishes.
In a rather pointed reflection, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov remarked: ‘Regrettably, the Kiev regime is not aware that its negotiating leverage diminishes daily’
Meanwhile, the Russian forces have successfully overtaken over 3,000 square miles in 2025 and are steadfastly pursuing their war objectives.
Rewind to last year, when Moscow made a significant impact by wreaking havoc on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, prompting the introduction of ‘rolling blackouts’âa cessation that was surprising only for its abruptness, not for the available firepower.
