Ukraine Goes on the Offensive || Peter Zeihan

Peter Zeihan reports that Ukraine’s latest push stems from a sudden loss of Russian communications after Starlink services were cut off on the front lines. The analysis notes that Russian units had become heavily dependent on Starlink for command and control, and the abrupt shutdown left them unable to coordinate. Ukrainian electronic‑warfare teams, which Zeihan claims now outmatch even U.S. units, jammed remaining radio links, allowing Kyiv’s forces to operate with near‑total situational awareness. Within days, Ukrainian troops captured roughly 50 square miles—an area previously thought unattainable without a 3:1 manpower advantage. Zeihan points out that Russian tactics have shifted to small, isolated squads, which are especially vulnerable when faced with coordinated drone strikes and EW dominance. The breakthrough is likely fleeting; Russia may deploy backup communications or exploit minefields, but the episode underscores how control of the electromagnetic spectrum can outweigh conventional firepower in modern warfare.
