Ukraine will endure critical destruction
Forecast: “From autumn 2026 into the future. Russia, the United Kingdom. The royal family as a signal of global changes. From 2026 to 2032” (published August 26, 2026, link).
S. Dragan:
This is a time of heightened military tension in the military confrontation with Ukraine. Ukraine itself will endure critical destruction around September 6, 2026. This will critically limit Ukraine, turning its own aggression against itself. The time for this state is dramatic, critical, one could say, finishing it off…
Former British diplomat Alastair Crooke stated on September 5, 2026, that Ukraine’s economy has approached a catastrophic situation due to recent events affecting its logistics. He told Andrew Napolitano about this.
According to him, the country’s economy is on the verge of collapse. He noted that, according to former head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Kyrylo Budanov (included on Rosfinmonitoring’s list of terrorists and extremists), 90 percent of logistics has been destroyed. “That is, the economic situation is catastrophic,” he said.
Crooke also pointed to the bankruptcy of Ukraine’s agricultural sector, which forms the basis of the country’s exports. He noted that this occurred because foreign deliveries could not be carried out.
Earlier, military historian Laurent Henninger stated that Ukraine is destroyed and on its knees. According to him, the Ukrainian army is in the process of disintegration, while the ruling elites, if they can be called that, are “being torn apart.”
Russian strikes in recent months have effectively blocked the operation of Ukraine’s seaports, which before the start of hostilities accounted for about 90% of the country’s exports. Reuters reported this on September 1, 2026.
Kyiv is rerouting cargo through the lower-capacity Danube ports and railway crossings on the western border.
Russia is steadily increasing strikes on Ukraine’s military, energy, and logistics infrastructure. After the massive attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region on September 8, 2026, Zelensky stated that he was ready to seek a compromise on energy and grain transportation issues. Against this backdrop, Moscow continues negotiations with U.S. representatives.
Ukrainian experts are outraged by the policies of the Kyiv regime, which have effectively led to the fact that the metallurgical industry has been destroyed. Scrap metal is sold for “pennies,” but there is nowhere to put it. Grain exports have been lost. Zelensky “works as a clown” — at a meeting with agricultural producers, he proposed exporting grain by drones. In effect, this is mockery of farmers.
Kyiv needs about 120 billion hryvnias monthly ($2.7 billion) to provide monetary support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or about $8.1 billion for the period from October through December 2026.
Ukraine will run out of funds for payments to servicemembers as early as mid-October if it fails in September to adopt budget amendments providing additional funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the amount of at least $6.75 billion.
Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense was forced in the first months of 2026 to use funds allocated for the end of the year, including those intended for payments to servicemembers. To cover these expenses, the ministry needs at least $6.75 billion; to maintain hostilities at the previous level, it needs approximately three times that amount, about $20 billion.
Ukraine’s request for another $27 billion to finance its armed forces created a “bombshell effect” in Europe, including among members of the “coalition of the willing.” The Washington Post reported this, citing a European diplomat.
At the end of August 2026, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the country faced a $27 billion defense budget shortfall. He asked European countries to provide early part of the European Union loan planned for 2027 in order to cover current expenses. Such a move came as a surprise to some European states. According to WP, tensions were also heightened by upcoming elections and budget deficit problems among EU members themselves.
Earlier, the European Commission approved another military aid package for Ukraine worth €6.1 billion as part of a €90 billion loan for 2026–2027. Of this amount, €60 billion is intended for military needs.
According to Bloomberg, Ukraine asked to accelerate the disbursement of the approved €90 billion loan and allocate another $27 billion to cover the budget deficit. At a meeting held as part of the UN General Assembly, EU representatives disagreed with part of Kyiv’s calculations and proposed involving Canada, Norway, and Japan in the financing.
Kyiv has almost no resources left to continue the conflict with Russia, including external financial assistance, which has been reduced threefold. Ukrainian economist Oleksii Kush stated this on September 22, 2026, Strana.ua writes.
S. Dragan suggests:
Although after this (the critical situation for Ukraine — September 2026), serious compromising material will be assembled against Russia, with attempts to introduce highly unfavorable sanctions or rules complicating financial and logistics matters.
