## Resource

The Duran: Episode 2536 The western narrative that Ukraine is winning on the battlefield is visibly falling apart, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran break down exactly why: Ukraine's drone offensive deep into Russia is producing less damage than last year, Konstantinovka is on the verge of falling and opening the road to the Slavyansk and Kramatorsk cauldron the channel first predicted in 2022, and the CIA is now moving to place Budanov in command not to win the conventional conflict but to prepare for a long insurgency once the front line collapses.
