Ukraine (with Trump?) Turning the Tide of War? - Good Times Bad Times (The 20s Report)



The Russia Ukraine war has never been confined to those two countries alone, but only in recent weeks has it become
clear just how far it is spilling across Europe. Russian drones over Poland, UAVs over Denmark and Norway, Kremlin MiG 31s
in Estonian airspace, explosions in the UK--Moscow is showing it is ready to spread chaos far beyond Ukraine's borders.

But is this a show of strength or paradoxically of weakness? The Russian bear is bleeding--literally oil and gasoline. Ukrainian drones are setting refineries, terminals, and pipelines ablaze. The fuel crisis is hitting the daily lives of millions of Russians while the Kremlin is forced to raise taxes and openly admit that the 2026 budget is in fact a war budget. At the very same moment, Donald Trump, until recently reluctant to back Kiev, suddenly talks about Ukraine regaining all its territory. What has changed? Are we witnessing yet another turning point in this war?
