From Europe’s unprecedented financial and military commitments to Ukraine, to Russia’s fading missile campaign and growing problems on the front lines.

22 February 2026

On February 16, Kyiv Post military correspondent Stefan Korshak published a powerful analysis of the week’s key developments in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

This video breaks down his assessment step by step — from Europe’s unprecedented financial and military commitments to Ukraine, to Russia’s fading missile campaign and growing problems on the front lines.

Korshak also highlights new cracks in Russian frontline logistics and communications, including disruptions linked to Starlink access and growing coordination failures.

His conclusion:

Europe now stands firmly in Ukraine’s corner. Russia’s tactical advantage is eroding. And the balance of material power is shifting toward Kyiv and Brussels, not Moscow.

In this video, we explore:

– Why Europe’s financial move changes the war’s trajectory

– What the Ramstein pledges really mean

– How Ukraine’s air defense is holding up

– Why Russia’s missile campaign is losing impact

– What communication breakdowns reveal about Russian weaknesses
