This is what Putin said yesterday.
My soldiers will never betray the Motherland and will shed the blood of those who march against Berlin. We possess a spirit and a never-before-seen weapon that will crush the hordes of the enemy. Europe is weak and it will be ours.
These are words from Hitler’s radio address on April 16, 1945, when battles were already being fought for Berlin.
Even at this point, Hitler believed that there would be misunderstandings between the Allies, that Europe would not last, and that there would be some miraculous turn in the war.
The comparison is of Larisa Voloshina, a famous Ukrainian psychologist and media analyst.
However, there is one important difference. When Hitler uttered the words in question, German diplomats and senior military officials were already secretly negotiating with representatives of the Allies to sign a surrender. Yesterday, Putin admitted not secretly, but openly, that Moscow is ready to negotiate a truce with Ukraine and is even ready to make some concessions.
The Russian dictator has lost control of the military operations, but tries to convey that his army is invincible. Hitler threatened to the last with some miracle weapon. Such was not discovered, even when he threatened to destroy London and take over Britain in a matter of days. It was not there when the armies of the Soviet Union, England and the USA were on the approaches to the German capital.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not fail to humiliate Putin, saying that Kiev was pushing for talks an hour sooner and warned that the situation on the front was under the control of the Ukrainians and Putin would have to take care of his personal safety.
“Putin is in the same position right now. In the fall, it will become clear that Russia has no chance at the front because neither its army nor its economy will be able to continue the war. Then Russia itself will have collapsedVoloshina is convinced.
Vladimir Putin talks about the “incredible successes” of his army on the front in Ukraine, but the real situation is radically different. He lives in a parallel reality where he still imagines that he is “winning”. At the same time, Ukraine shows a turning point every day, inflicting irreparable losses on important objects on Russian territory. This is what Yuriy Bogdanov, a publicist and strategic communications expert, told Channel 24. He cited experts who say the Russian dictator is deliberately lying about the situation on the battlefield.
According to the latest figures from international institutions that monitor and analyze intelligence from the US, NATO and military sources in Moscow, the Russian army lost just over 40,000 servicemen in each of the months of February, March and April. In January 2026, the losses are about 35,000. That makes about 50 liquidated Russian military every hour.
It is significant that after these statistics about Russian losses came out, based on several sources from different intelligence services, Moscow was quick to “announce” that the Ukrainians suffered the same losses. However, the statistics in question are not even in the official summary of the Ministry of War…
Is this a win?
Remember the pitiful May 9 parade on Red Square that lasted about 40 minutes. No military equipment.
The more Putin brags about “great victories” and a “decisive offensive,” the more panic and hysteria grows among the Russian population. Because people know about the “black telegrams” from the front. They also see the rising prices in stores and the disappearance of some goods from everyday life.
On the front, the Russian units are at the lowest point of success since the beginning of 2023, Yuriy Bogdanov also commented. According to him, Putin does not have a clear idea of reality, being misled daily by false and inflated reports of the Ministry of War. The generals are feeding false information to maintain their dominant position in the army, which is rife with corruption, chaos and perversion.
The positions of some of the most popular bloggers and authors on Z-channels have recently changed dramatically. They harshly criticize Putin and taunt him that “the victories are only in his head.” According to them, the military actions against Ukraine are conducted extremely incompetently and lead to “huge losses in manpower and material damage”. Investigative journalist Andrey Zakharov commented this to Radio NV. He adds that the authorities are trying to silence military bloggers and commentators by indicting the famous Z-activist and leader of the Moscow military analysis group Mikhail Axel.
“These people in 2014 supported the annexation of Crimea, praised Putin and created the so-called NT-brigade to wage a hybrid war against the ‘enemies of Russia.’ Today they criticize the Kremlin and write that Moscow is losing the war, calling the military “puppets of traitorous circles in power.” In one of the last comments of the group in question, we read literally: “Putin promised to break Ukraine, but he broke Russia– quotes Zakharov.
Recently, Putin has been ramping up hybrid attacks in various EU and NATO countries, hoping to sow uncertainty and fear of a Russian nuclear attack. Like Hitler, he hoped for some super miracle to turn the tide of hostilities. And because he lives in a closed world, he cannot soberly consider that once during the Second World War, Stalin had allies such as the USA and Great Britain, as well as the resistance movements in many European countries, which formed a strong front against Hitler and Nazism. Today, the Russian dictator himself is in Hitler’s position.
Putin is in the grip of naive hopes that terror and threats will give him some military, political and diplomatic advantage. The frantic fear of failure pushes him to more and more provocations against Europe.
“There is no pill that can save Putin and bring him victory. The false reports from the front, especially those about ‘control in Zaporozhye’ and ‘captured Kupyansk’ make him a man who has lost his sanity.” This is a trap that Putin got himself into. And that will destroy him. The white flag is already in his nightmares,” summarizes Yuriy Bogdanov.
