[Verse 1]
Russia launched across the capital, sirens split the air
One hundred forty-four Ukrainian targets hit out there
The shadow fleet of tankers thought the Black Sea was their lane
Till Kyiv's drones went hunting — now those vessels feel the strain
Eleven time zones wide, the Russian war machine spread thin
And backfired on the generals who thought they'd always win
[Chorus]
The war is not going well for Moscow, analysts can see
Zelenskyy is knocking on the NATO door with urgency
Every missile they keep sending shows a plan that's cracking wide
While Trump says peace is closing in — the world's watching from outside
[Verse 2]
The Institute for the Study of War mapped every single move
July seventh's assessment — Russia struggling in the groove
Offensive pushes stalling, logistics stretched and frayed
The Kyiv Post is counting all the tactical debts unpaid
Zelenskyy addressed the alliance, spoke it plain and clear
Ukraine inside that membership would sharpen every spear
[Chorus]
The war is not going well for Moscow, analysts can see
Zelenskyy is knocking on the NATO door with urgency
Every missile they keep sending shows a plan that's cracking wide
While Trump says peace is closing in — the world's watching from outside
[Verse 3]
The wounded cities rebuild slow beneath the ashen sky
Kharkiv counts the craters, Odesa wonders why
Sanctions bite the ruble down but cannons keep their roar
Europe writes the check again and ships another store
The soldiers in the trenches hold a line drawn deep in mud
Every inch of contested ground is measured out in blood
[Chorus]
The war is not going well for Moscow, analysts can see
Zelenskyy is knocking on the NATO door with urgency
Every missile they keep sending shows a plan that's cracking wide
While Trump says peace is closing in — the world's watching from outside
[Bridge]
Putin holds a crumbling hand but danger doesn't fade
A cornered calculation is the sharpest kind of blade
Forbes documented Tuesday's toll, Al Jazeera marked the smoke
Every headline carries weight the diplomats invoke
[Chorus]
The war is not going well for Moscow, analysts can see
Zelenskyy is knocking on the NATO door with urgency
Every missile they keep sending shows a plan that's cracking wide
While Trump says peace is closing in — the world's watching from outside
[Outro]
July eighth, twenty-twenty-six — the headlines hold the score
Kyiv counting missile strikes, Zelenskyy asking more
The shadow fleet is burning somewhere out across the sea
And what comes next for Ukraine — that's the question mark we breathe
