Special correspondent in Ukraine for Al Mayadeen English.
In his newest report, Dmitri Kovalevich chronicles the collapse of Ukraine’s defenses in key Donbass cities now encircled by Russian forces, exposing how Kiev’s denial, political calculations, and propaganda deepen the military disaster. As strategic strongholds fall, Ukraine’s leadership continues to sacrifice troops for media optics rather than survival.
Zelensky cancels elections as mandates expire, tightening control under martial law amid war, mass desertions, and rising dissent over government lies and Ukraine’s worsening battlefield losses.
Dmitri Kovalevich warns that October’s intensifying “infrastructure war” between Ukraine and Russia, strikes on power, gas and oil facilities, favors Russia and risks leaving Ukraine with severe energy shortages this winter, while renewed panic over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant raises the specter of broader escalation.
Ukraine’s elite cling to Western aid, ignoring military collapse, while Zelensky pushes conflict with Russia and seeks to involve other countries to sustain his regime.
Ukraine’s conflict can only be resolved when its anti-war, anti-Nazi people take control of their own destiny beyond the US-NATO proxy war.
Dmitri Kovalevich reveals how Zelensky’s Washington visit exposed Ukraine’s role as a pawn, with its elites preparing for endless wars, even a “third war,” while society collapses under loss, desertion, and bankruptcy.
Banning of rallies during martial law does not apply to rallies held in the name of protesting corruption, while Ukraine’s entire policing apparatus is unleashed against anti-conscription protests.
Dmitri Kovalevich argues that modern Ukrainian statehood has turned against its own people, suppressing dissent, provoking wider war, and surviving only through coercion, Western backing, and public relations.
Russia's statements about denazification as one of the goals of its special military operation were not accidental.
Ukraine and "Israel" are being openly recognized for what they are, instruments of Western imperialism.
