Following the May 9th Victory Day parade in Moscow, Russia resumed full-scale military operations in Ukraine, including overnight drone strikes. Despite a brief pause around the parade, hostilities quickly resumed. Ukraine had attempted to disrupt the parade with hundreds of drones and missiles, which Russia largely intercepted.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor criticized the West’s continued surprise at Russian aggression, arguing that Russia has consistently stated it would not stop fighting until its objectives are met. He also condemned what he sees as strategic confusion and inconsistency from former President Trump, who reportedly aligned with European leaders in calling for a 30-day ceasefire. Macgregor views this as a betrayal of Trump’s earlier position acknowledging Russia's grievances and territorial claims.

He expressed concern that Trump’s current stance undermines any potential credibility with Russia and aligns him with globalist leaders in Europe who Macgregor blames for weakening national identities. He believes the West is prolonging the war by continuing to arm Ukraine and asserts that Ukraine’s government is selling off the country’s assets while being propped up by Western powers.

Despite talk of peace talks in Turkey, Macgregor remains skeptical, arguing that unless Ukraine accepts neutrality and recognizes Russia's territorial gains, negotiations are unlikely to succeed. He concludes that Russia is perceived globally as defending its interests, while Ukraine has been exploited by Western powers.
