Major events in the Ukraine proxy war, 2026 (view source)

, September 2→Russian retaliation: Ukraine becomes landlocked
NATO would not dare engage in an open confrontation with Russia at sea to disrupt its maritime [[logistics]] routes. Therefore, a relatively independent actor is needed to carry out attacks on Russian ships, and [[Ukraine]] is ideally suited for this role. However, this shortsighted move could also backfire. An attack on any vessel in northern waters will increase [[insurance]] costs for everyone traveling that route. Ultimately, the end [[consumer]], primarily in Europe, will pay the increased price.

==NATO's 40 day "campaign of terrors"==
Like [[Adolf Hitler]]'s 1944 late war London Blitz with [[V-2]] and [[V-1]] "vengeance" [[weapon]]s after all was lost and no [[hope]] to win the [[war]], [[NATO]] and [[Ukraine]] unleashed a [[drone]] blitz against the Russian [[civilian]] [[population]] as the Russian army steadily advanced to achieve its objectives in Eastern Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the conflict, the [[United States]], [[NATO]], and [[Ukraine]] strategized under the theory that a modern [[war]] can be won by [[propaganda]] and information warfare alone, [[demonizing]] the "enemy" via [[internet]], mainstream and [[social media]], without conventional or [[nuclear weapon]]s. The late war blitz with "[[wunder waffen]]" was a mark of desperation.
Unelected [[dictator]] [[Volodymyr Zelensky]],<ref>[https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-calls-ukraines-zelenskyy-dictator-without-elections-rift-widens?msockid=17c7489519b3621a320e5fba182263d0 Trump calls Ukraine's Zelenskyy a 'dictator without elections' as rift widens], Danielle Wallace, ''[[Fox News]]'', February 19, 2025. foxnews.com</ref> who cancelled [[democratic]] [[elections]] in Ukraine 3 years earlier using the [[war]] as an excuse, openly admitted the [[terrorism|terror campaign]] was aimed at interfering in Russian wartime elections to persuade public sentiment away from the Russian government. Like the London Blitz, the [[9/11 attacks]] or [[Operation Epic Fury]], history has shown terrorist attacks on the civilian population tend to create stiffer resistance to the attacker among the general public rather than anger at their own [[government]] or sympathy for the enemy.
[[Ukrainian]] Defense Minister [[Mykhailo Fedorov]] came up with the idea of loading up [[British]], [[German]], and [[American]] manufactured [[drone]]s with kerosene to produce large plumes of dense black smoke in order to impress [[Ukraine]]'s [[Western alliance|Western]] backers in a [[psyop]] with videos to create the illusion that their [[money]] was being well spent and effective on attacks deep inside Russia. Russian [[innovation]] in [[air defense]] quickly made [[drone]] attacks on the capital city of [[Moscow]] a waste of resources and valuable time. The [[AFU]] soon turned away from [[strategic]] [[military]] targets to the [[civilian]] [[population]],<ref>https://www.facebook.com/fforbiddennews/posts/kiev-hitting-civilian-targets-in-russia-to-provoke-mirror-response-ex-pentagon-a/1051757751113781/</ref> disrupting the [[consumer]] [[supply chain]] warehouses of [[Wildberries]], "the Russian version of [[Amazon.com]]." The continued attacks on civilian [[infrastructure]] was a naked attempt to interfere in Russia's September 2026 open [[democratic]] [[election]]s that backfired and only stiffened the Russian people's resolve. After weaving another impressive made-for-[[TV]] spectacle by hitting Wildberries warehouses with his patented kerosene drones, Zelensky was stupefied to discover that Russia was able to strike back thrice as hard.
