‼️ Russia: “The unexpected loss of access to the websites of Google, Apple, Github, and Samsung that Russian users experienced on Tuesday may be a test run for a blocking of these resources in Russia, according to IT experts.” It would not surprise me at all. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/14/v...

10/ Fedorov believes he can fix the hardware of war exactly like he fixed state software apps. But the military is not an app. He is discovering what happens when Silicon Valley disruption meets an institution that measures failure in bones.

9/ To save the system, politicians might promote him out of it. His name was just floated for Prime Minister. In any other country, that is a victory. In Kyiv, kicking him upstairs is how the generals stop the audit and take their war back.

8/ Fedorov tried to get Syrsky fired and failed. Now the system is fighting back. Trukha, a massive Telegram channel with 3 million subscribers, recently teased an investigation into drone corruption. The hit pieces are already being scheduled.

7/ Commander-in-Chief Syrsky and the old guard speak a different language. One general summarized their contempt for a minister who has never fought. "Would you sit in an airplane if you saw that the pilot was a shopkeeper?"

151

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

6/ The old guard despises him. Traditionalist generals compare him to Robert McNamara, the Ford executive who tried to run the Pentagon like a car factory. They say he gamifies war, rewarding flashy kills over the boring work of holding a road.

151

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

5/ Then he addressed the deserters. An estimated 300,000 Ukrainians are listed as absent without leave. If caught, they used to be sent to penal reserve battalions. Fedorov is offering a 100-day window to return without punishment.

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

4/ His manpower package drops the sentiment and pays cash. Frontline infantry pay jumps from $2,500 to $7,000 a month. He wants foreigners to make up half of all new recruits, offering a $7,000 bounty to middlemen for every soldier they enlist.

171

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

3/ He moved artillery procurement to an open-tender system and cut the cost of 155mm shells by 16% almost overnight. He borrowed money earmarked for salaries just to buy emergency drones. The tech minister is applying market mechanics to survival.

181

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

2/ Mykhailo Fedorov took over the Defense Ministry in January. He immediately ordered an audit and uncovered $6.6 billion in overspending. He subjected procurement officials to lie detectors. Those who refused or failed were fired on the spot.

Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

🧵Inside a July war council, Ukraine’s generals had a problem. The drone campaign was succeeding, but they hated the man running it. The new Defense Minister is a 35-year-old tech executive, and he is treating a bleeding army like a startup. 1/🧵

Russia 🇷🇺 came to Lyman 🇺🇦 hunting for a breakthrough, only to find a scrapyard instead. Ukraine smashed the assault: 2 tanks, 5 APCs, 7 IFVs, and more than 40 buggies and quad bikes destroyed.

Bakhmut was supposed to be Russia’s 🇷🇺 trophy. Nearly 3 years later, the Russian army is losing a neighborhood in Chasiv Yar next door. That is an astonishing amount of blood and concrete to spend proving you can flatten a city and still lose a fight with the next block.🇺🇦

It is only a matter of time before someone on the interwebs plays the last few minutes of the "summit" with the Curb Your Enthusiasm track. Heck it has probably already happened. It would be funny if it weren't so awful, tragic, and stupid. Many more people are going to suffer and lose their lives.

Here’s what I wish more people understood on a fundamental level. Russia making budget cuts is a problem because all of this stuff was already falling apart. They weren’t paying for the stuff you might think they would. So now image things with even LESS money.

It also means that the government brings in less rubles per barrel of oil. So if the government decides to move it, as many have been predicting, expect even “official” inflation to increase.

“Experts expect a slowdown in price growth with the start of the new harvest in July.” Note: That doesn’t mean that the price growth WILL slow down. There is often a belief that prices will go down then.
