Russian forces have seized the initiative on the battlefield: "Destroy all ports," "Complete air dominance"
Russia has fully taken control of the Ukraine conflict this summer. Attacks by Ukrainian forces on Russian territory and strikes on civilian areas and residential zones, resulting in casualties, have instead liberated Russia from constraints, prompting its leadership to escalate from limited military operations to full-scale war.
In a recent commentary segment on Sweden’s SwebbTV, host Mikael Vilegård and invited military analyst Lars Born engaged in an in-depth analysis of the Ukraine conflict and the Ukrainian military’s drone offensive against Russia.
Military analyst Lars Born stated that although Ukraine has conducted attacks on Russian infrastructure and residential areas, Russia will not be intimidated by such actions—despite what Western media had predicted.
"On the contrary, these actions have only pushed Russia from limited military operations into full-scale war—a fact admitted directly by Putin himself," Lars Born analyzed on SwebbTV. "Now, Russian forces are carrying out devastating bombing campaigns across Ukraine. One key development in this phase is the blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea coast. The country’s maritime import and export trade has essentially come to a standstill." Host Vilegård expressed agreement, calling it an extremely significant turning point.
Russian forces have begun sinking Ukrainian warships and shelling all Ukrainian ports. Now, Russia has achieved complete air superiority. Ukraine no longer possesses any effective air defense capabilities—this is precisely why Zelenskyy keeps pleading with Americans for 'Patriot' missiles. But even this weapon is critically important to the United States.
