For months, I've heard claims that Americans are turning against Ukraine. A brand-new Economist/YouGov poll suggests otherwise. When I dug into the numbers, I found something striking: support for Ukraine extends across virtually every major demographic in the United States. Men and women. Young and old. Every racial group surveyed. College graduates and non-graduates. Democrats, independents, Republicans—even Trump voters, conservatives, and MAGA supporters all sympathize with Ukraine far more than they sympathize with Russia.

In this video, I walk through the polling data, separate the headlines from the evidence, and explain why these numbers matter. I'll also discuss what they could mean for future U.S. support for Ukraine and why the political conversation may not reflect where most Americans actually stand.

Donald Trump’s new statement on North Korea and South Korea stopped me in my tracks. Trump said his relationship with Kim Jong Un remains “very good,” criticized U.S.–South Korean military exercises, and said he instructed Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce those exercises. I explain why I believe this sends a deeply troubling message to America’s ally South Korea—and why it matters for Ukraine as North Korea continues supporting Russia’s war.

We also examine reporting about Putin’s long-term objective of taking the entire Donetsk region, the possibility of continued Russian offensives and further mobilization, and the danger of Moscow testing NATO’s willingness to respond. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues striking Russian targets as signs of pressure inside Russia become harder to ignore.

I take you inside occupied Melitopol, where residents celebrate the return of electricity after nearly 18 days without power, and then to Russia’s Black Sea region, where drivers describe fuel shortages and extraordinary gas lines. In Sochi, one man reports waiting more than five hours only to leave without enough fuel.

Ukraine’s war is moving on several fronts at once. In this update, we go inside Russia to examine footage from Moscow showing a long fuel line on one side of the road and a burning Wildberries warehouse on the other — then use the visible GPS coordinates and street imagery to verify the location.

We then turn to Mykhailo Fedorov’s major interview and his warning about what it may take to force Russia to end this war. Fedorov says Ukraine will have its own ballistic missile and gives a three-to-six-month estimate for when one could strike a target inside Russia. That comes as Ukraine continues debating key government appointments and protesters keep demanding Fedorov’s return.

And in Zaporizhia, we see another brutal reality of civilian life near the front: a minibus fitted with anti-drone cage protection to survive Russian FPV attacks. Shortly before recording, a new image arrived showing that same minibus destroyed. At the time of this video, information about possible injuries had not been confirmed. I also explain why I am holding back a separate FSB blackmail story until the evidence can be fully verified.

A Ukrainian volunteer says the FSB used his own children to pressure him for information—and that he ultimately went to Russia rather than betray people in Ukraine or abandon his son. In this update, I share the now-confirmed story of Mykhailo Puryuchov and the extraordinary appeal he made publicly before placing himself in Russian hands.

We also have major political developments in Kyiv as Khamara and Andrii Sybiha move toward confirmation votes, plus new evidence from the Flamingo strike on Russia’s Progress Rocket Center. The damage could have consequences for Soyuz-2 production and Russia’s effort to deploy its own Starlink-style satellite network.

Russia is also dealing with fuel restrictions across multiple regions, while questions remain over possible Witkoff and Kushner travel to Kyiv or Moscow. And Ukraine is watching another potentially dangerous development: reconnaissance drones over western Ukraine, tactical aviation movements, loaded Kalibr missiles, and other indicators Greg believes could point toward preparations for another large Russian strike.

Ukraine has delivered a powerful 24 hours: a new campaign against Russia’s Ozon network, another reported target destroyed in the Samara region, and major Russian military losses documented by Ukraine’s defense forces. Those losses include aircraft, air-defense systems, radars, and a mobile ballistic-missile launcher.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin insists Ukrainian strikes are producing no significant change and will never give Kyiv an advantage. Greg examines five false Kremlin narratives, including Putin’s attempts to blame Ukraine for starting the war, portray Russia’s attacks as retaliation, and justify strikes against Ukraine’s economy and civilian infrastructure.

The evidence tells a different story: Russia is being forced to defend strategic facilities, repair damaged infrastructure, reposition air defenses, and confront growing pressure from Ukraine’s long-range campaign. Europe is also moving forward with new partnerships and additional air-defense support for Ukraine—but serious vulnerabilities remain.

Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine killed 16 people and wounded nearly 50, while President Zelenskyy says Ukraine will answer with a justified and decisive response. In this update, I break down what happened, why Ukraine’s current long-range operations are not yet the promised retaliation, and why the continuing shortage of Patriot interceptors remains so dangerous.

We also look at a major new threat from North Korea: the KN-30 heavy ballistic missile, which Ukrainian defense intelligence reports can carry a warhead of up to 2.5 tons and reach roughly 900 kilometers. I also examine Russia’s missile stockpiles and production as Ukraine faces the continuing challenge of defending its cities from ballistic attacks.

Then we go inside Russia itself. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak openly describes a “tense” second phase in Russia’s gasoline market, including export restrictions, fuel imports, refinery problems, and authorization for lower-grade fuel. Russian television also delivers another revealing moment as Popov describes personally witnessing three Ukrainian strikes while traveling through Crimea.

Ukraine needs air defense, but the pressure Ukraine is applying against Russia is also producing increasingly visible consequences. We look at both sides of that reality—and what it could mean next.

Zelensky's decision to remove Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has evolved from a personnel change into one of the most politically volatile moments Ukraine has faced during the war. What began as an attempt to resolve reported disagreements inside the military has instead sparked nationwide protests, resignations by senior defense figures, growing resistance inside parliament, and uncertainty over whether Zelensky's preferred replacement can even secure enough votes. In this video, we separate confirmed facts from speculation, examine why so many Ukrainians are rallying behind Fedorov, and ask whether this has become Zelensky's first major wartime political miscalculation.

A deadly confrontation between members of Ukraine’s Security Service and Defense Intelligence erupted in broad daylight in Kyiv, leaving one GUR member dead and two wounded. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the incident “absolutely disgraceful” and demanded a full investigation, accountability, and personnel decisions after the facts are established.

In this video, we examine Zelenskyy’s response and the account given by a GUR Timur unit commander, who said a GUR serviceman had been detained without formal charges and alleged that SBU personnel later opened fire without warning. The Prosecutor General and State Bureau of Investigation are now tasked with determining exactly what happened between two institutions that remain essential to Ukraine’s defense.

We also look at Zelenskyy’s warning about dangerous conditions in Russian airspace as disruptions hit Moscow-area airports, including Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo. Finally, Greg examines Donald Trump’s response when asked about controversial Ukrainian mobilization videos—and why Trump saying he would post those videos is something worth watching closely.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner went to Moscow for more than three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin—and what happened inside the Kremlin raises serious questions about how the Trump administration’s envoys are approaching Russia and the war against Ukraine.

In this update, I break down Witkoff’s extraordinary opening remarks to Putin, including a translation nuance that quickly drew attention in Russian media. I also examine Yuri Ushakov’s account of the closed-door meeting and dinner, where Putin presented the Russian version of the battlefield, repeated Moscow’s demand to address the so-called “root causes” of the war, and pushed propaganda claims about Ukraine.

The talks also went beyond Ukraine. According to the Russian account, the two sides discussed potential large-scale Russian-American economic projects. Witkoff and Kushner then left Moscow for Kyiv, where they are expected to meet Ukrainian leaders and hear directly about the reality of Russia’s war.

The central question now is whether Ukraine can challenge the narrative these American envoys heard in Moscow—and whether their visit to Kyiv changes how they understand Putin’s demands and Russia’s conduct of the war.

Ukraine is mourning after a devastating day of Russian strikes. In Kryvyi Rih, the confirmed toll from the attack on a shopping mall rose to 15 killed and 130 injured, including 23 children. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack and said Ukraine will respond.

The violence extended beyond Kryvyi Rih. A drone struck a minibus in Zaporizhzhia, while a Shahed attack on a multipurpose building in Tokarivka in the Mykolaiv region killed four people, including three boys. Against that backdrop, Ukraine also revealed the first batch of the Alexa Spatium interceptor drone—a mobile, turbojet-powered system designed to counter Russian kamikaze and Shahed-type drones and capable of returning for reuse if an interception is unsuccessful.

The video also examines new signs of pressure inside Russia: testimony that two military-age men were prevented from leaving the country despite having valid documents, and a Russian frontline soldier describing the horror of missions where five men are sent out and only one returns. These accounts raise serious questions about Russian casualties, manpower, and the possibility of future mobilization.

This is a comprehensive front-line tour of Ukraine with Professor Gerdes, moving from Odesa and Kherson through Zaporizhzhia, the Pokrovsk sector, the Donbas fortress belt, Kupyansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, and the wider strategic picture.

We examine where Ukraine has pushed Russian forces back, why the fight around Kostiantynivka and the fortress belt remains so important, and why Russia’s effort to reach critical supply routes near Dobropillia could shape the next phase of the battle. We also look at the growing danger from FPV drones, glide bombs, ballistic missiles, attacks on bridges, and the systematic destruction facing communities near the front.

Then we zoom out. Russia is increasing pressure on Ukrainian infrastructure and key crossings along the Dnipro while Ukraine continues striking Russian logistics, fuel trucks, bridges, and rear-area infrastructure. We also discuss worsening fuel problems in southern Russia, reconnaissance drone activity over western Ukraine, and the growing Russia-Iran supply connection through the Caspian Sea.

This is the battlefield as it stands on August 19, 2026—not just who controls another village, but the roads, bridges, cities, logistics corridors, infrastructure, and strategic pressure points that could determine what comes next.

Ukraine’s information war is heating up alongside the battlefield. A viral claim that Ukraine destroyed a North Korean munitions train deep inside Siberia is false, while Russia’s Defense Ministry, Ukraine’s military communications team, and Fire Point trade increasingly direct warnings about what may be coming this autumn and winter.

Sergei Lavrov then makes Moscow’s position unmistakable: Russia does not intend to stop military operations along the current line of contact. He discusses Russia’s objectives, the United States, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, the Alaska negotiations, U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine, and why Moscow believes there is still no basis for ending the war.

I also look at Ukraine’s continuing need for a strong ambassadorial voice in Washington, Fire Point’s provocative Moscow imagery, and the widening gap between what Russia says it wants, what Ukraine can accept, and what the United States may actually be able to accomplish diplomatically.

Russia’s hybrid warfare against Europe may be entering a far more dangerous phase. In this conversation, Prof and Greg Terry examine sabotage, cyber operations, GPS interference, drones, suspected attacks beyond Ukraine, and the growing risk that Moscow could eventually miscalculate its way into a direct confrontation with NATO.

The discussion focuses on why Vladimir Putin may believe the West still lacks the willingness to respond decisively. Greg draws on more than three decades of experience working in Russia and the region to explain the Kremlin mindset, while the conversation turns to Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, Moldova, Transnistria, Odessa, and the possibility that Russia is deliberately testing the limits of NATO’s tolerance.

They also examine signs surrounding possible Russian mobilization, Moscow’s wartime economy, NATO air-defense shortages, Donald Tusk’s increasingly forceful posture toward Russia, and the danger that one hybrid operation causing significant European casualties could trigger political pressure for a much stronger response.

The central warning is simple: Russia may view Western restraint not as de-escalation, but as permission to keep pushing. Ukraine understands the Kremlin because it has been fighting this war for years. The question is whether Europe and the United States will recognize the danger before a calculated gamble becomes something no one can control.

Germany has officially accused Russian military intelligence of an attempted attack on a Ukrainian Antonov cargo aircraft at Leipzig Airport. German officials say explosives were planted aboard the aircraft, the detonator malfunctioned, and DNA evidence links the operation to Russia.

The EU and NATO are standing firmly behind Germany as European leaders warn that Russia’s hybrid operations are designed to intimidate Ukraine’s supporters and fracture Western unity. President Zelenskyy, meanwhile, is condemning Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and its effort to make children participants in the war.

We also examine the militarization of Russian schoolchildren, warnings that Shahed attacks against Kyiv could continue through Russia’s elections, and strikes on Ukrainian border crossings that threaten logistics and food distribution.

President Trump says Vladimir Putin is not looking to attack NATO territory as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prepare for visits to Moscow and Kyiv. We examine Trump’s latest remarks, why Russian state media is amplifying them, and whether this diplomatic mission represents anything genuinely new.

President Zelenskyy confirms the American delegation is coming and says Ukraine will suspend its own strikes during the necessary travel and negotiation window—while demanding Russia reciprocate. We break down why Zelenskyy’s language matters and what it says about Ukraine’s diplomatic position going into the visit.

We also examine Ukraine’s planned response after Russian strikes, including the attack on the SBU building in Kyiv. Zelenskyy says proposals for a response have been approved and that Ukraine will choose the time of its response. The discussion also looks at claims surrounding how the Shahed attack may have been controlled and why the precision of the strike is drawing attention.

Finally, we share important Ukraine Support Bridge updates: the fundraiser for Saava exceeded its goal, reaching $37,000 toward his hearing-related surgery, and preparations for the cochlear implants are moving forward.

Ukraine delivered what Greg calls a fantastic night of long-range strikes, while Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued one of his strongest warnings yet about Russia, European security, and Poland’s rapidly growing military power.

Russia claimed it intercepted 598 Ukrainian drones across 19 regions, Crimea, and surrounding seas—a figure that remains an unverified Russian claim. Ukraine also reported a major strike involving the Flamingo FP-5 against the TsSKB Progress facility in Samara, a strategically important center connected to Russia’s rocket and satellite industrial base. Ukraine also struck Savasleyka Air Base, home to MiG-31 aircraft associated with Kinzhal missile launches against Ukraine.

The contrast remains brutal. While Ukraine targets Russian military and industrial infrastructure, Russia continued its own barrage against Ukraine. Greg discusses reports of 152 drones overnight and the heartbreaking death of a three-month-old infant in Marhanets. With autumn approaching, Ukraine’s campaign against Russian military capabilities and Donald Tusk’s warning about the threat from Russia point toward an increasingly consequential period ahead.

This 4K Ukrainian drone footage from Bakhmut shows how radically drones have changed modern warfare—and the new imagery from Chasiv Yar is devastating.

We take a close look at Ukrainian fiber-optic FPV drones operating around Bakhmut, the extraordinary precision of their operators, and why cheap drones can destroy equipment worth vastly more. We also examine Ukraine’s growing drone scale, including 54,870 drones reportedly knocked down in July and hundreds of fixed-wing drones now being launched nightly.

Then we go inside updated imagery of Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar to see what years of Russia’s war have done to these cities—and why drones may be one of the biggest reasons Ukraine has been able to keep fighting against a much larger enemy.

Watch closely, because this footage reveals a side of the war that maps and headlines simply cannot show.

Ukrainian forces have delivered a major operational blow to Russian plans in the Donbas.

Codenamed Operation Vivaldi, Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade—led by Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky—cleared 75 square kilometres of territory north of Lyman, completely disrupting Vladimir Putin’s northern pincer movement aimed at encircling the fortress cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

In this video From The Newsroom, military expert Philip Ingram breaks down raw combat footage from the assault.

From house-to-house room clearing and dense forest trench combat to drone reconnaissance and frontline casualty evacuation, we take an in-depth look at the tactics, command and control, and logistics that made Operation Vivaldi a tactical game-changer.

Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign came directly to Moscow on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections, with the Moscow oil refinery hit amid a massive wave of Ukrainian drones and missiles. Greg breaks down what the strike pattern reveals about Ukraine’s growing ability to saturate heavily defended Russian airspace, why he believes Moscow’s unusually limited public response matters, and what the attacks could mean for Russia’s fuel and military logistics.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says Ukraine has destroyed an estimated 30% to 40% of Russia’s refining capacity—even without the ability to operate its air force over Russian territory. Greg examines that assessment, Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capabilities, Russia’s election-day response, and the growing economic pressure created by repeated attacks on Russian refineries.

Also covered: President Zelenskyy’s call with President Trump and their planned meeting in New York, Axios reporting that Trump again pressed Zelenskyy over strikes on Russian oil refineries, warnings of possible major Russian attacks on Ukraine, and Ukrainian efforts to prevent panic as Russia continues targeting fuel and logistics infrastructure.

Ukraine has entered a new political chapter.

President Zelenskyy has removed Mykhailo Fedorov and launched a sweeping government shake-up that could reshape Ukraine’s wartime leadership. Is this a necessary reset, or a risky gamble at a critical moment in the war?

In this breaking update, Greg Terry examines what happened, why it matters, and what it could mean for Ukraine’s future, Russia’s strategy, and the broader war.
