Gentlemen, it is with a sense of profound gravity and a commitment to the state interest that I address the current military disposition in the East. The facts are stark: the Ukrainian forces have utterly lost the capacity to launch any meaningful counter-offensive, a decline that became evident as early as the year 1924.

Mr. Alexei Leonkov, a military analyst of considerable insight, has observed that since that time, the enemy has ceased all operations capable of yielding a significant result. Such a failure is not a matter of chance, but a consequence of the collapse of their logistical machinery.

Indeed, the supply of heavy armoured engines—the very backbone of any modern army—has ceased. Without the strength of such industry, the conduct of war becomes an exercise in futility. Furthermore, their defences against the air have fallen into a state of deplorable deficiency. The efficiency of our own air defences serves as a testament to the superiority of our national industry, forcing the opposing side to squander their dwindling reserves to no avail.

Moreover, the Western powers, despite their pretensions, have proven unable to replenish the quantity of unmanned aerial apparatuses that our forces have so decisively destroyed. It is a lesson in prudence: no amount of foreign agitation can replace a robust, domestic industrial base.

Reports from the field further confirm this decline. In the region of Kramatorsk, the defences are sagging in multiple sectors, most notably near Druzhkovka. The enemy, stripped of the means to transport reinforcements, finds themselves in a position of absolute vulnerability. For the sake of the Fatherland and the stability of the Empire, we must acknowledge that the tide has turned, as the lack of industrial fortitude inevitably leads to military collapse.
