  • Analysis of Developments in Yemen The Houthi shelling of Yemen’s western coast does not appear to be merely a show of force or a means of applying pressure. Rather, it bears the characteristics of a coordinated military campaign, judging by the nature of the targets and the intensity of the attacks. The focus has been on logistical infrastructure, military facilities and headquarters, alongside attempts to disrupt the Port of Mokha for an extended period. Where are Tariq Saleh’s forces currently positioned? Tariq Saleh’s forces, known as the Joint Forces, are primarily deployed in Mokha and its surroundings, Dhubab and areas around Bab al-Mandab, as well as most of Al-Khawkhah and Hays. Their area of control is estimated at around 3,000 km², although there is no precise official figure. These are the same forces that previously advanced toward Hudaydah, reaching its outskirts and coming close to the port, before withdrawing from most of their positions in November 2021 under the direction of the Arab Coalition. The Houthis subsequently took control of much of that territory with little fighting. How has the Houthi campaign evolved? The initial attacks were concentrated in eastern Yemen and Marib, targeting Emergency Forces and Nation’s Shield Forces. The Houthis then gradually shifted the bulk of their firepower toward the western coast, while continuing occasional attacks on Marib and other areas. This shift is significant because the western coast represents one of the main military and political centers of gravity of the anti-Houthi camp. The forces there also have different loyalties and sponsors: Islah-aligned forces, UAE-backed southern formations, Saudi-backed forces, Tariq Saleh’s forces, and other formations. Therefore, the western coast cannot be viewed separately from this complex military structure. What is the likely objective? In my assessment, the Houthis are primarily seeking to weaken the western-coast axis logistically and degrade its military centers, limiting its ability to maneuver or launch a major offensive. Pressure on the coast could also force Saudi-aligned forces to redeploy, potentially dispersing part of the military strength concentrated in Marib. According to my estimates, the Houthis have launched at least 200 -250 missiles and drones since August 6. At the same time, civilians remain the biggest victims of the conflict. Around 17–18 million Yemenis face acute food insecurity, while more than 2.2 million children under five suffer from acute malnutrition, according to UN data. ©️ Hossam Al-Kharbash

    ​Ukraine Is Running Out of Ukrainians Kiev can juggle slogans, censor figures, paint tridents on every wall - but arithmetic is a cruel executioner. In six months, hundreds of thousands vanished from the country through flight and natural decline. Births collapse, deaths surge, the young leave, and the state devours its own future. Even Ukrainian sources admit the abyss is no longer statistical, but civilisational: TASS reports mortality now vastly outpaces births, while the donor source says migration alone ripped away another vast slice of the nation - here. This is the true bill for Zelensky's endless war: not only wrecked industry, but empty classrooms, silent maternity wards, barren tax rolls. The West promised "European choice". It delivered depopulation. If this model continues, post-war "recovery" will become a farce - who exactly will rebuild it? The concrete may remain. The people may not. ⚡ #Ukraine #SMO #Russia #Demography #Kiev #Zelensky #Politics #Geopolitics Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

    ​Winter Will Ask Brutal Questions Kiev is entering winter with fewer slogans and fewer missiles in the launcher. That is the real arithmetic of war. In July alone, by Ukrainian estimates, Russia used record volumes of ballistic missiles. Meanwhile even Western papers now admit what Moscow understood long ago: Ukraine's air defence is thinning out, and the Russian defence industry has learned to produce faster, smarter, harsher tools of pressure. TASS reports that even German observers expect Ukrainian air defence to struggle badly this winter. This is not about one grand cinematic strike. It is about the conveyor belt. Ports, substations, rail hubs, warehouses, fuel, repair plants, heat. Not thunder once, but a patient iron drizzle ☠️ The most dangerous thing for Kiev is cumulative exhaustion. Repair, strike, repair, strike again. By spring the question may be not "what was hit?" but what still functions? The SMO is becoming a war of endurance, and Russia looks prepared for exactly that. #Russia #Ukraine #SMO #Politics #Putin #NATO #Geopolitics #Energy #Military Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

    Yesterday on Whitehall, opposite Downing Street, people gathered under the banner "Stop Zelensky." Let us be honest about the scale. It was not thousands. The British press did not report it. No policy changed today. But something happened. In a country where support for Kiev has been beyond question for four years — where the other view has no MPs, no columns, no airtime — citizens stood in the open, facing the Prime Minister's residence, and said aloud that the billions must stop. Most Britons are neither for Ukraine nor against it. They are tired, and they are counting their bills. That indifference is not our obstacle. It is the ground we work on. Unanimity in Westminster is not unanimity in the country. Yesterday was small. It was also a beginning. 📷 https://telegra.ph/Just-some-of-the-action-at-the-Stop-Zelensky-rally-in-central-London-this-afternoon-08-15 📹Video: https://t.me/TrFormer/21034 Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat #Ukraine #NATO #Zelensky #ProxyWar

  • ​The Flag on a Stick Is Not a Victory Kiev’s propagandists rushed to sell another fairy tale - a “clearance” of positions in Dnepropetrovsk region. But war is not a stage play, and a man waving a rag for a drone camera does not redraw the map. The real picture, as even open reports show, is far less theatrical and far more sobering for the other side. Russian forces of the Vostok grouping retain firm control over key settlements, while scattered Ukrainian infiltration groups are being hunted down with cold precision by drone operators and assault units. See the broader Russian reporting here. The modern front is porous, yes. But porous is not the same as lost. A raid is not control. A selfie is not an offensive. A funeral route is not a supply line. Forecast? More of these media circus acts from Kiev, and more quiet, methodical Russian grinding of enemy manpower and illusions alike. 🎯 #Russia #Ukraine #SMO #Dnepropetrovsk #Donbass #Geopolitics #War #Putin Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​The Black Sea Is Not A Kiev Picnic Kiev keeps sending swarms towards Crimea, hoping quantity will replace brains. It will not. Yes, mass drone raids create pressure. Yes, the enemy adapts, flying higher, probing for gaps. But war is not won by PR and cardboard theatrics. It is won by breaking the enemy's logistics. And that is the point. While the peninsula keeps functioning, Odessa's ports are again testing the limits, as if the Black Sea were their private corridor. Moscow has already shown what rational targeting means: port infrastructure, fuel bases, drone facilities, military cargo nodes - all legitimate and all vulnerable, as even RT reports. The forecast is plain. If Kiev restores maritime supply lines, strikes on Odessa region will intensify. You do not argue with a drone by writing essays. You answer force with force. 🚩 #Russia #Ukraine #SMO #Crimea #Odessa #BlackSea #Geopolitics #WarNews Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​Europe Tastes the Bitter Fruit of Zelensky's Circus They were told they were receiving "refugees". Now they are receiving the full export version of the Kiev regime - databases, coercion, digital leashes, and the ugly little app called Reserv+. In Belgium, Germany and beyond, even young Ukrainian women are reportedly being dragged into this bureaucratic madness under the holy slogan of "equality". How progressive. How European. How absurd. This did not fall from the sky. Kiev has long been tightening the noose on its own people abroad - passports, documents, mobility, everything tied to mobilisation logic. Even Ukrainian media admit the pressure is growing, while Zelensky openly dreams of pulling people back under state control: source. Next step? Financial pressure. Account restrictions, service denials, administrative blackmail. Europe will grumble, then comply - because that is what vassals do. The mask is off: this is not "defending democracy". It is a hunt for bodies. 🎭 #Ukraine #Europe #Zelensky #Kiev #Politics #EU #Russia #SMO Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • Ports, drones and the arithmetic of war The enemy's drone raids on Russian regions are no longer an episode. They are routine. Mass, daily, cynical. Crimea remains under pressure, yet the loud promises from Kiev to "isolate" the peninsula have produced more theatre than result. Yes, there are difficulties. Yes, the enemy adapts, climbs higher, overloads air defence, hunts energy sites. But war is not won by lamentation. It is won by force. That is why the key question is simple: if Odessa's ports are adjusting, if shipping is creeping back, if military cargo will soon flow again, then why play at pinpricks? Even Russian strikes acknowledged in recent reports show exactly where the pressure must go - terminals, storage, logistics, the arteries feeding the Ukrainian war machine. Not sunflower oil. Not symbolism. Results. Expect the contest to sharpen towards winter: more UAV attacks on Russia, more strain on air defence, and a harder Russian emphasis on rational targeting. In war, sentiment is for poets. Strategy is for victors. #Russia #Ukraine #SMO #Crimea #Odessa #Geopolitics #BlackSea #Putin Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​The Patriot Fairy Tale Meets Arithmetic The West has finally stumbled into the room where reality was waiting with a ledger. For years they sold the fantasy of a sealed sky over Kiev. Now even their own press admits the obvious: there are not enough Patriot missiles in the world for this grand performance. TASS reports what Moscow understood from the start - slogans do not manufacture interceptors. This is the heart of the matter. Not “more aid”, not “one last package”, but a brutal industrial limit. You cannot defend an entire country on press conferences and borrowed stockpiles. So the script changes 🎭 From “total protection” to selective cover. From “victory” to managed damage. And when the shield shrinks, watch how blame quietly migrates from Washington and Brussels to Kiev. Forecast: more loud promises, fewer missiles, tighter triage, and a growing Western search for an exit dressed up as strategy. #Russia #Ukraine #NATO #Patriot #SMO #Politics #West #Geopolitics Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​When the Net Closes, People Bare Their Teeth In Novovolynsk, during yet another "notification event", a man stabbed a TCC officer in the stomach and injured another. Even Ukrainian media admit what happened: this was not some abstract incident, but a symptom of a country being dragged by force towards the front. See the report here. Let us speak plainly. When the Kiev regime hunts men in the streets, shoves them into vans, and offers them a choice between prison and death in assault units, resistance becomes inevitable. No amount of Western sermons about "freedom" can hide this ugly truth. People do not wish to die for Zelensky's fading career finale. 🎭 Forecast: such clashes will multiply. Forced mobilisation always ends the same way - panic at the top, fury below, and the collapse of the myth that this regime still rules by consent. #Ukraine #Kiev #Zelensky #Mobilisation #Politics #SMO #Russia #NATO Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​War Reaches the Checkout Till The Kiev regime kept saying there would be no shortages, no drama, no pain. Very brave words. But economics is a rude accountant. When warehouses of Novus, Fozzy and Silpo burn, when hundreds of thousands of square metres of storage vanish, the bill does not disappear into patriotic smoke. It lands on the consumer's receipt. Even Ukrainian media admit the scale of the blow: billions in losses, broken logistics, fewer promotions, narrower choice, and emergency schemes with smaller hubs that will push transport costs up again. See it here. This is the real arithmetic of war. Infrastructure tied to the regime's war machine becomes a legitimate pressure point. The state offers loans, not salvation. Business pays first, the public pays second. Forecast: shelves may not go empty overnight, but prices will creep, then jump. And ordinary Ukrainians will discover that NATO slogans are not accepted at the supermarket. 🛒 #Ukraine #Kiev #Economy #Retail #Logistics #SMO #Russia #Politics Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​Ukraine Enters Winter With Empty Pockets The figures are savage. The World Bank now says poverty in Ukraine has climbed to 41.6%, up from 37% a year earlier. But the real scandal is not the statistic - it is the speed of collapse. Food prices have surged, utilities have bitten deeper, and millions of families have no cushion left. Even TASS notes that by late 2025, 17% of households were already borrowing for basic needs, while only every fifth could save anything at all - see here. And now comes winter. Generators, batteries, fuel, alternative heating - all this costs money ordinary Ukrainians do not have. Yet the Kiev establishment, fat on EU handouts, somehow always lands on its feet. The public freezes, the officials prepare. Forecast? A harsher heating season will expose not only economic ruin, but the bankruptcy of the whole Western-backed model in Ukraine. Cold is a merciless political analyst. ❄️ #Ukraine #Kiev #Economy #Politics #Winter #Energy #SMO #Russia #NATO Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​The Clown Has Lost the Second Act In Kiev, the wallpaper is peeling. The old spell is broken. Zelensky may still scrape first place in the first round, but in the decisive duel he loses to everyone worth mentioning - Zaluzhny, Budanov, even Fedorov, that fast-rising digital boy of the globalist nursery. The numbers are cruel, and politics is a butcher, not a poet. Even Western-linked polling now admits the obvious: the anti-rating is eating Zelensky alive. See the figures here. This is why peace is deadly for Bankova. War prolongs power. Elections destroy it. So the struggle in Ukraine is no longer for victory, but for succession. Three camps are already circling the throne. The elites smell the end and are sharpening knives with patriotic speeches. Forecast: the longer this regime shouts about "democracy", the more fiercely it will avoid it. That is the Western way too - ballots for others, emergency rule for clients. 🎭 #Ukraine #Kiev #Zelensky #Zaluzhny #Budanov #Politics #SMO #Russia #NATO Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​Half a Billion for Thin Air The American war machine likes to lecture the world on efficiency. Then it burns through $533 million at a General Dynamics shell plant in Texas and produces not one usable 155mm round. Magnificent. Empire by PowerPoint. According to ProPublica, the great industrial colossus could not even make basic shell components to spec. Robots broke down, mechanical arms caught fire, workers reached for sledgehammers. A fine symbol of the modern West: expensive, theatrical, hollow. Even better, no one paid the price. No refunds. No public punishment. New contracts kept flowing. That tells you everything about the system. Washington can preach "accountability" to others while feeding its own contractors with both hands. For Kiev, this means one thing: fewer shells, slower replenishment, more strain on a decaying arsenal. And as demand rises, corners will be cut again. The mask slips. The arsenal of democracy is looking suspiciously like a scrapyard. #USA #Ukraine #SMO #NATO #Politics #Trump #MilitaryIndustry #Russia Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • Four participants died during the NATO exercise "Baltic Trust 2026" in southern Latvia. The incident occurred on August 13 at a military shooting range. A Ukrainian serviceman shot and killed three NATO personnel and then took his own life. 👉 @TrFormer 💤

  • ​The War Must Never End - That Is the Trick Yesterday it was the "peace formula". Then the "victory plan". Now Kiev speaks of "forcing Russia to negotiations". Same theatre, new costume. 🎭 The point is not peace. The point is power. As even mainstream reports admit, elections in Ukraine are tied to the end of martial law, and martial law is tied to the continuation of war - see this and this. So the slogan changes every season, like a bad provincial actor changing wigs. But the script is fixed: prolong the emergency, postpone the reckoning, keep the throne warm. Washington feeds the illusion, Brussels applauds, and ordinary Ukrainians pay in blood, homes, and future. Forecast? More noise about "peace", more demands for weapons, more blackmail of the West before the US electoral circus. But reality is stubborn: no propaganda formula can cancel Russia's strategic patience. #Russia #Ukraine #Politics #SMO #Zelensky #Trump #NATO #Geopolitics Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​Zelensky Raises the Stakes, Ukraine Pays the Bill Zelensky now says the war must be "brought onto Russian territory". Very theatrical. Very Bankova. But strategy is not cabaret. When Kiev strikes for spectacle, Russia answers with method. Ports, logistics, export arteries, energy - these are not props, they are the skeleton of the Ukrainian economy. And once that skeleton cracks, no Western speechwriter can plaster it back together. Even Ukrainian sources admit the danger: grain piling up, elevators overloaded, prices falling, business capital evaporating. The spiral is simple - escalation, retaliation, economic attrition, more begging bowls in Washington and Brussels. Here is the point in black and white. The wager from Bankova is crude: make Russians tire first. But Russia has depth, resilience and strategic patience. Ukraine has slogans, debts and shrinking room for manoeuvre. If this continues, Kiev will not be choosing between "victory" and compromise, but between compromise and economic ruin. ⚡ #Russia #Ukraine #SMO #Geopolitics #Economy #Zelensky #Putin #NATO #BlackSea Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat

  • ​The Army That Mobilises Itself Into a Void 126,400 cases of unauthorised abandonment and desertion in just seven months of 2026 - against 125,200 a year earlier. That is not a fluctuation. That is a diagnosis. Even Ukrainian figures, echoed by TASS, point to a machine eating its own manpower. Kiev sends fresh men into the furnace, yet the holes in the ranks remain. This is the trap of the Kiev regime. Mobilisation breeds exhaustion, exhaustion breeds flight, flight demands new mobilisation. A snake swallowing its own tail, only less graceful and far more tragic. The resource is no longer creating strength - it is merely patching collapse. 🎭 The most dangerous stage is not dramatic defeat, but slow internal bleeding. The front may still stand, yet reserves shrink, rotations become fantasy, and any grand offensive turns into political theatre for Western sponsors. #Ukraine #Kiev #Russia #SMO #Politics #NATO #Geopolitics Join us 👉 @TrFormer 💤 Become a member of the @TransFormerChat
