Trump is shilling really hard for Viktor Orban now
> Highly Respected Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, is a truly strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results. He fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America. Viktor works hard to Protect Hungary, Grow the Economy, Create Jobs, Promote Trade, Stop Illegal Immigration, and Ensure LAW AND ORDER! Relations between Hungary and the United States have reached new heights of cooperation and spectacular achievement under my Administration, thanks largely to Prime Minister Orbán. I look forward to continuing working closely with him so that both of our Countries can further advance this tremendous path to SUCCESS and cooperation. I was proud to ENDORSE Viktor for Re-Election in 2022, and am honored to do so again.

The Magyars were the migratory group that moved west from central Asia/Asia minor and conquered the Carpathians, and essentially founded Hungary. They were steppe nomads similar to the cumans, kipchaks etc.
The drone unit Magyars is named after them because the leader is Hungarian and he's using the historical reference to his heritage. It's worth noting that Hungary and Ukraine, along with many other Carpathian peoples such as Rusyns, Slovaks and Romanians, have a lot of commonality within their shared regions. For example, I am half Ukrainian and half Slovak, but my surname which comes from my Slovak side is Hungarian and happens to be a very common surname in West Ukraine.

[Fun fact:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horv%C3%A1th)
> Horváth is a common Hungarian surname. "Horváth" is the 2nd[1] or 4th[citation needed] most common surname in Hungary as well as the most common in Slovakia.[2][3] It's thought to derive from Hungarian horvát ("Croat") spelled without the final h in old orthography. The related Croatian surname Horvat, which is derived from an older version of the noun "Hrvat" ("Croat"), is the most common surname in Croatia or the Croatian diaspora.[4][5] Members of this family can be found across the world, and are most numerous in the United States.[6] Variations of the name include Horvat, Horvaty, Hrvat, Chorbadi, Orbath, Orvath, Orvat. The spelling of Horváth is of exclusive Hungarian origin.

Why is retreating to the Caspian sea irreversible?
15
Guyfawkes19941 day ago
+26
As it’s a canal system with limited width and depth, there’s presumably a limit to how many ships can transfer at the same time from the Black Sea to the Caspian and vice versa. While Ukraine may allow them to retreat there, if they try and come back, Ukraine may be able to attack one at a time as they try to come back through.
Ukraine may also try and “shut the door” on them by attacking the canal system itself once they’re through. If Ukraine can damage the cabal system itself, then Russia would have to repair it before coming back through, which they might not be able to do so in a reasonable period of time.
Just spitballing here though.

TurbulentRadish81131 day ago

Neither of those ideas seem obviously sufficient to me.
But I'm interpreting "irreversible" as "forever". The fighting will stop at some point.
Ukraine hasn't been able to cut the rail line through occupied southern Ukraine. I imagine a canal might be even harder.
(Spitballing is great btw, I appreciate it. I was also confused by the claim that moving ships to the Caspian would be irreversible).

> Ukraine hasn't been able to cut the rail line through occupied southern Ukraine. I imagine a canal might be even harder.
Correct on both counts. I offer, however, the following:
• It's a very LONG canal, but it's surprisingly NARROW. It wouldn't take much of a bomb (dropped on the "shoreline", say) to block it for a while. Remember the *Ever Given* incident in the Suez in 2021? Plugged that canal for six days, and it took a couple of weeks to get the backlogged traffic cleared. **Plus**, the Volga-Don canal has locks (a.k.a. "targets"), while the Suez is entirely sea level.
• If there's one thing Russia is "good" at, it's rail infrastructure, esp maintaining it. They have the equipment aplenty, located in appropriate places, and real incentives to deal with adversities ... allowing them to "swoop" in and fix stuff *particularly* quickly.
At minimum, it would be one heluvan experiment, yes!!??

I like the sound of that experiment!
Tbf I'm honestly clueless about the effort needed to damage or fix a canal.

Guyfawkes19941 day ago
+4
As I understand it, the issue with canals is the locks and reservoirs which allow a ship to travel over elevated land. In the 1970’s, Panama had a plan (in case the Americans didn’t hand the Canal back over to them) to blow up the dam on Gatun Lake which is a big part of the Canal. Torrijos (Panama’s dictator at the time) reckoned that although the Americans could fix the damage in a short period of time, it would take three years for rainwater to fill the lake back up again, rendering the Canal unusable in that time. Looking at the Volga-Don canal which is the shortest route between the Black Sea and the Caspian, the highest point in the canal is 44 metres above the Don river and 88 metres above the Volga river. To go up and come back down that high, there’s 9 locks on the Volga slope and 4 locks on the Don slope, with 3 pumping stations to raise and lower the water level in the locks. Destroy some of that infrastructure, it genuinely may take months to years before it can be fixed again.

Context:
- The preliminary results were very similar and have already been reported. This is for 2025.
- They used pension fund bank accounts to fund this. That's russian savings permanently gone, but we don't know exactly how much is left (except it's at least 0.4tr)
- I am convinced this is a very big deal. Without this accounting trick the federal deficit would have been 1.2tr rub bigger
- they did another trick with the regional accounts. Real total deficit was ~8tr rub, not the ~5.6tr rub reported.

I don't trust Syrskyi, he pumps prop&ganda (arguably that's part of his job). But there's pretty good evidence that Russia is (1) suffering high casualties, (2) is taking lots of hits to logistics, (3) occasionally loses ground to local Ukrainian counterattacks and (4) is barely advancing.
OTOH, some reliable OSINT have complained for a long time that Syrskyi is ordering Ukrainian units into assaults to try and make the map look better, while needlessly sacrificing manpower. I'm not sure how widely true it is, but if it is then it's the sort of thing that could cause a collapse later and lose the war.
But... Other credible reporting claims that Ukrainian fatality rates have apparently fallen.
Basically there's no proof either way, and a wide range of opinions among those with better access to information. Fog of war.

It is tough to weigh the costs of operations as well. My great-uncle was a marine on Guadalcanal, and to the day he died, he never understood why that island mattered to the US Military. You could give him the explanations that the higher ups gave- the need to prevent shipping disruptions and the airfield- and his response was none of those men actually fought on the island and were in a position to know if it was worth it.
Generals often make unpopular decisions that are absolutely necessary. even if the cost is high. The grunts on the ground often will disagree, and if they can, will complain about it. That is as old as war itself.

TurbulentRadish81131 day ago

These complaints are specifically from pro-Ukraine OSINT accounts.
They seem to agree with certain actions that protect logistic routes or important defences, or things like clearing the Dobropillia salient. My impression is they are angry about what they perceive as wasteful attacks.
Maybe they don't know something, but Syrskyi hasn't convinced me he won't do things for short-term political gain rather than strategic value.

Thanks for posting! Context from stories:

This is legitimately awful for Russia. They are in a worse position than last year. I genuinely think there was a chance of budget failure this year until Trump attacked Iran. By "budget failure", I mean they'd have to do extreme things outside their budget law to keep things funded.
> One in ten cars on Russian railways is in disrepair.
The article says this isn't just normal. Russian companies have greatly cut the amount of maintenance; it's 158k faulty cars now Vs 86k last summer.

> 19-year-old infantryman from Ukraine’s 72nd Black Zaporozhians Mechanized Brigade, known by the call sign Malyi, captured three Russian soldiers during an assault and was wounded by a drone strike, the brigade reported on Facebook on April 8.
> Malyi signed an 18-to-24-month contract in spring 2025 and decided to go to the front line after his cousin was killed, saying he could not stay home. “Now I feel better. I’m not just some 19-year-old kid — I’ve already done something in life,” the young soldier said.
> During one of the assaults, he received an order to enter a supposedly empty bunker. Inside, three Russian soldiers were hiding in a back room. “My guys had retreated; I was left alone. I was running on adrenaline. I shouted to the guys over the radio, ‘Bring me another grenade!’” the infantryman said.
> Together with another serviceman, he used psychological pressure on the Russians. “We told them: ‘Do you want to live? You have families, children. Come out or we’ll throw in a thermobaric [grenade]!’ At that moment I hadn’t even held a thermobaric in my hands,” Malyi said.
> The Russian soldiers surrendered. Moments later, a Russian drone dropped a large munition nearby. “A Russian drone flew in and dropped some kind of large munition on me,” he added. “I managed to jump out of the way, but the blast still hit me. When I got up, my entire pant leg was covered in blood. I was afraid I’d severed an artery, but thank God that didn’t happen.”
> He received first aid and was evacuated along with the captured Russians.
> Malyi said that after completing his contract he plans to return home and marry his girlfriend, but in the future he intends to serve in the army again — though not as an infantryman.

* Russia still has a lot of air defense.
* Still, it has been degraded to such an extent that it has opened previously unavailable corridors that allow for long range strikes.
* There's a snowball effect where destroying one AD asset makes destroying the next one easier.
