‘Struck by Own Weapons’: Putin’s Men Celebrate Using Seized Weapons to Kill Zelensky’s Forces
In a shocking turn of events, Russian forces have begun using weapons captured from Ukrainian troops to launch attacks on President Volodymyr Zelensky's forces.
This unsettling development underscores the brutal dynamics of the ongoing conflict as Russia adapts its strategies on the battlefield.
Reports indicate that Russian soldiers have expressed a twisted sense of satisfaction at repurposing these seized arms, with some being quoted as saying they are "pleased to be struck by their own weapons." This chilling statement reflects the harsh realities of warfare, where weapons designed for one side are turned against its original owners, further blurring the lines of loyalty and morality in the conflict.
US President Donald Trump welcomes his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to Alaska on Friday for talks aiming to bring about a ceasefire and ultimately an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Noticeably absent from the meeting in Anchorage is Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. However, Europe’s leaders have expressed cautious optimism about the prospect of a truce.

Ukraine has launched a dramatic strike just hours before the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s forces reportedly blew up a Russian ship docked at Port Olya, allegedly carrying Iranian-made drone parts. The move is being seen as a bold sabotage attempt aimed at derailing peace talks, escalating tensions between Moscow and Kyiv, and sending a defiant message ahead of the much-anticipated face-off between the U.S. and Russian leaders.

Ukraine is facing its worst manpower crisis since the start of the war with Russia, with The Telegraph reporting that at least 650,000 fighting-age men have fled the country since 2022. Many others are hiding within Ukraine or bribing officials to avoid conscription. The draft evasion problem is spiraling as Russian forces push forward in Donetsk, with military analysts warning of severe infantry shortages and failing drone operations.
Reports suggest desertions have surged to nearly 400,000, while disturbing videos show Ukrainian draft officers violently detaining men in what locals call “busification.” Even support roles like mechanics and radar operators are being reassigned to frontline combat. Thousands have attempted dangerous border escapes, some ending in fatalities. Ukrainian commanders warn the situation is becoming unsustainable, threatening the country’s ability to continue the fight.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov downplayed Donald Trump’s prediction that there is a 25% chance the upcoming Alaska summit with President Vladimir Putin could fail. Speaking ahead of the high-stakes talks, Lavrov said Russia would not engage in forecasting outcomes, emphasizing that Moscow has “arguments and a clear, definite position” ready for the meeting.
He credited U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s close associate, with laying much of the groundwork for the discussions and expressed hope that negotiations would continue into the next day. The Anchorage talks, already under global scrutiny, come at a time of tense U.S.-Russia relations and ongoing war in Ukraine. While Trump has framed the meeting as a potential breakthrough, Lavrov’s remarks signal confidence in Russia’s approach and suggest Moscow is prepared to stand firm. The world now watches to see if the dialogue will ease tensions or widen the divide.
