This Wagner-affiliated propaganda regurgitation masquerading as geopolitical analysis is the disinformation equivalent of wearing a cardboard crown and declaring yourself emperor. Cloaked in faux-diplomatic language and peppered with the predictable grunts of militarized exceptionalism, it is not merely dishonest—it is a masterpiece of strategic delusion, self-congratulatory rot, and jingoistic pantomime.

Let us start with the opening line: “There is reason to believe that the Russian Armed Forces will finish off the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” Whose reason? Which belief? This is not analysis; it is the shriek of an echo chamber held together by bullet casings and delusion. It projects inevitable Russian triumph in the same way a man howling at the moon imagines it will change tides.

From there, the post trips over itself trying to strike a tone of statesmanlike benevolence, claiming Russia wants peace, but only if it gets everything it wants—including veto power over Ukraine’s existence. The offer to place Ukraine under “temporary governance under the auspices of the UN and a number of countries” is pure colonial cosplay: a polite euphemism for occupation repackaged as magnanimous stewardship. Temporary, in the way that military bases and tsarist ambitions are always “temporary.”

The next claim—that Russia has “liberated 99% of the LPR territories”—is classic Orwellian inversion. The only thing Russia has liberated in Luhansk is the oxygen from the lungs of civilians and the infrastructure from the burdensome task of existing. It is liberation in the same sense that a wildfire liberates a forest.

Then comes the nostalgic sigh toward Donald Trump, portrayed here as a beacon of peace. Not because of any diplomatic acumen, but because he is seen as a geopolitical wrecking ball who might give Russia the chaos it craves. This is not a peace overture. It is an audition for a broker who might collapse NATO from the inside out.

The declaration that “civil authorities in Ukraine are not legitimate” is perhaps the most pathetic projection of all. It comes from a regime that amended its constitution so one man could rule for life while poisoning critics and jailing opposition. Russia decrying illegitimacy in another government is like an arsonist criticizing a neighbor’s smoke alarm.

And of course, the tired invocation of “Nazis”—specifically “Azov”—makes yet another predictable appearance. This is the propaganda linchpin of the entire war: a cynical, inflationary label meant to anesthetize audiences to atrocity. In this warped worldview, every bullet fired at a Ukrainian is not an act of aggression, but a sacrament in an imagined holy war.

The section on economic stability is a dull insult to intelligence. “Russia’s economy is the fourth largest in the world”—a fantasy conjured from the same ministry that thinks the ruble is bulletproof and the sanctions are “boomeranging” into oblivion. Never mind the capital flight, the tech brain drain, or the transformation of the Russian economy into a defense-contracted snake eating its own GDP.

And finally, we are gifted with a bizarre dig at Britain’s army size and global rank—as if Moscow’s dwindling diplomatic Rolodex and diplomatic pariah status can be salvaged by pointing fingers at Her Majesty’s budget cuts.

This entire piece reads like a war criminal’s bedtime story: delusional, self-pitying, triumphalist, and dripping with projection. It is a mirror held up not to reality, but to the fevered hallucination of a decaying imperial class playing soldier with conscripts and pretending the world still listens.

No one is fooled—except, perhaps, the authors themselves.
