Britain Admits “Ukraine Is Losing The War” After Russia Venerates Holy Warrior

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A thought-provoking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin held a phone call with President Donald Trump yesterday, says top Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov then revealed: “In their customary respectful and business-like manner, the leaders exchanged opinions on the trips made by US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Moscow and Kiev on 5–6 September...The telephone conversation lasted exactly one hour...It was constructive and quite frank...Clearly, the conversation centered on Ukrainian settlement...Donald Trump directly communicated the desirability of bringing the conflict to an end as soon as possible, as it would immediately open up prospects – impressive and far-reaching ones at that – for the ​full restoration of relations between the United States and Russia”.

After American special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner left Kiev on Sunday, this report notes, top Ukrainian lawmaker Anna Skorokhod raged about their visit: “This was not just not a breakthrough – they came with even worse conditions than we had before”—then distinguished British diplomatic historian Professor Geoffrey Roberts at University College Cork assessed: “The armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered a decisive operational phase driven by an accelerating shift in the military balance of power, with hostilities likely concluding within months rather than years”.

Following Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov most factually observing: “The American negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are dealing with the problem and not demanding what is simply, firstly, unfair and secondly, impossible...And Europe is doing exactly the latter”, this report continues, world-renowned British historian-journalist.Owne Matthews released his open letter “Ukraine Is Losing The War”, wherein he shocked his pro-Ukraine comrades in Europe by honestly admitting:

Vladimir Putin has not changed his war aims a jot since 2022 and remains determined on fighting on.

Donald Trump has no new plan for peace other than bringing the Ukraine war to an end on Putin’s terms.

And Kyiv is running out of money and men to defend itself, just as surely as it has already run out of Patriot interceptors to defend its skies against the Kremlin’s barrages.

Those are the three depressing takeaways from the latest round of shuttle diplomacy in Moscow and Kyiv by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff.

On the eve of their departure, Trump said his boys would be presenting “a new plan” for Ukraine.  It quickly became clear that no such initiative existed.  Instead, a grinning Putin simply cycled through his old talking points about liberating all of Donbas and insisting that Ukraine still needed to be “demilitarized” and “denazified”.

In one sense, Trump is profoundly wrong in his belief that dangling business deals will somehow influence the Kremlin’s decision-making.  If Putin cared about the Russian economy, he would not have launched his full-scale invasion in the first place.  For Putin, the conflict is not about preserving prosperity but about defending Russia against an existential threat.

At the same time, Zelensky is equally deluded about Ukraine’s chances of defeating Russia – or even, tragically, about stopping the Kremlin’s slow but relentless advances.

More importantly, as the Kremlin continues its ruthless campaign to render Ukraine’s cities unliveable, destroy the country’s economy and rob it of its future, Kyiv’s ability to defend itself is in serious doubt.

Part of Ukraine’s unfolding nightmare is tactical.  Every one of Russia’s long-range attack systems has become more devastating.

But a larger part of Ukraine’s slowly unfolding defeat is strategic.

Western sanctions have basically failed – not least because of the West’s self-preserving insistence on keeping oil prices down under the Biden administration and, since the Iran war, because of Europe’s hunger for Russian liquefied natural gas.  Rather than being crushed by sanctions or wrecked by Ukrainian long-range strikes, Russia’s defense industrial capacity is stepping up.

Perhaps the most important strategic crisis for Ukraine is a triple failure on the part of its European allies.  First, the UK and Europe have talked up sanctions while in practice sending far more money to Moscow in payment for oil and gas than they have given Kyiv in military aid.

Second, fear of escalation and prioritizing their own defense over Kyiv’s has prevented Europeans from sending offensive missiles for use against Russian targets or from sharing their supplies of precious Patriot missile defense batteries.

But the third and most serious failure is a refusal to countenance seriously engaging the Kremlin in peace talks, and a stubbornly fixed idea that encouraging Ukraine to fight and fight forever will somehow magically lead to victory.

In short, Western leaders repeated pledges at the beginning of the war to give Ukraine “whatever it takes” for “as long as it takes”  were fundamentally misleading.

Indeed, these open-ended but non-specific promises – which became a mantra repeated by all British prime ministers since Boris Johnson and were recently reaffirmed by Andrew Burnham in Kyiv – ended up achieving the worst of all worlds.

The already-paranoid Kremlin was convinced that it was fighting the “collective West” – while that self-same West continued to buy the Kremlin’s oil and gas and transport it in their ships.

The crunch point – where those promises will finally crash hard into reality – will come soon in the form of an imminent fiscal crisis in Kyiv.

Ukraine’s Prime Minister Serhii Koretsky recently announced that Kyiv has already spent most of its 2026 defense funds and faces a looming $30 billion budget black hole – despite a recent $104 billion loan from the EU.  That loan, secured after months of Brussels horse-trading, represented the high-water mark of what the EU is realistically capable of raising.

As Ukraine heads into the hardest and most punishing winter of the war, it is about to run out of not only Patriot missiles and men for the front lines, but money to fight on.

At the same time, Zelensky faces a perfect political storm at home.  A year of relentless corruption scandals in Kyiv – the latest featuring the arrest of a deputy prosecutor general on charges of protecting online scam centers – has seriously eroded trust in Zelensky’s administration.

A dozen senior members of his team are now in jail, under investigation or have fled abroad.  A shoot-out in a Kyiv street between rival factions of Ukraine’s SBU and HUR domestic and military intelligence services have left many Ukrainians wondering if their country is sliding back to 1990s-style gangsterism.

Last week, an investigation by the New York Times found that Ukraine’s military procurement system has suffered from serious fraud, waste and mismanagement during the war. Secret audits show that in 2024 alone, about $1.2 billion was lost through overpayments and corrupt contracts.

Unsurprisingly, August polls by SOCIS show that a majority of Ukrainians consider corruption a more serious threat to their state than Russia – and that nearly 57 percent of Ukrainians blame Zelensky for the prevalence of corruption, nearly double the number in a similar poll from April 2025.  The same poll also also projects that three different rivals would beat him in a second-round election, each by a landslide margin of around 2-to-1.

To date, every successive peace offer has been worse for Kyiv than the last.  It seems that Putin’s clear intention is to give Ukraine’s cities a brutal final kicking before finally settling the war on his own terms, perhaps next year.

The Trump administration has long given up on the idea of backing a full Ukrainian victory, and it will be for historians to decide whether that decision to pull American aid and arms became a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Europe, for its part, continues talking the talk.  But it has no concrete plan to help, or save, Ukraine from the Kremlin’s fury – much less to crush the Russian economy or break Putin’s will.

While American special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were still in Ukraine on Sunday, this report concludes, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill led 100,000 peoples through the streets of Moscow from the Cathedral of Christ to the Savior to Novodevichy Convent to venerate warrior prince Saint Dmitry Donskoy, who defeated the Moguls and united Russia over 600 years ago, and whose icons from his newly discovered ancient grave are now all their way to the battlefield to inspire another generation of Russian holy warriors.
