Madyar on the War

Putin sends 400,000 people to the front every year. The same plan, three years running.

A full mobilization would damage the regime more than any strike on Tuapse. That is why Putin is unlikely to announce one before the fall.

Right now, approximately 700,000 Russian troops are deployed at the front. Each month, roughly 35,000 new soldiers arrive. Roughly 35,000 are killed. Ukraine's task is to make those losses higher.

In a recent interview with Ukrainska Pravda, Madyar laid out where things stand:

"Five months ago, we found Russia's weak spot. For the first time, we matched them in monthly mobilization."

"They know our problems, and we know theirs. Information moves quickly. Since December, we have maintained this balance. Our goal is to prevent Russia from gaining a manpower advantage."

"In 2026, no one is standing in line to go to war. We select people rather than grabbing everyone indiscriminately. We train fully prepared crews and supply them with ammunition that we now produce ourselves."

"We destroy the enemy within a 1,500-meter radius of the front line."

Each of Ukraine's 17 corps holds a sector of approximately 100 kilometers. Permanent units hold the line. Attached units reinforce it. Each commander bears full responsibility for his sector.

The kill zone now extends 25 kilometers on both sides of the front. Drones operate so densely across that depth that any movement becomes dangerous. This territory belongs to no one.

No occupier. No vehicle. Nothing moves safely.

Their pickup trucks, tanks, and motorcycles sit and rust.

"We burn them whenever we choose."

Russian armored vehicles have become increasingly rare near the front. Ukraine has destroyed most of what was available.

Because Russia lost access to Starlink, it is developing its own satellite communications system. Early prototypes are large and easy to detect.

"Give them a year, and they will cover the entire front with their own communications network. We are already struggling to process the volume of signals and separate noise from actionable data."

Putin is inflicting the greatest damage on his own people – extracting their money, suppressing social media, crushing freedom.

"Every dictator must know his limits. This regime knows none. And it is destroying itself."

According to Madyar, ending the war immediately is impossible. Stopping it may be possible – but only through sustained pressure.

Russia demands that Ukraine surrender the Donetsk region.

"That will never happen."

Without third-party guarantees, no agreement is possible. And even freezing the front would only give Russia several years to rearm before moving again.

"First Ukraine. Then NATO countries."
