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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

One year after Lukashenko predicted Russia would grind through Ukraine’s defenses, Ukraine is still fighting—but its air-defense crisis is becoming critical.

President Zelenskyy is demanding urgent political decisions to secure PAC-2 and PAC-3 Patriot interceptors. Donald Trump says America needs those missiles too, while Fedorov warns that Russia is producing missiles far faster than Ukraine is receiving the weapons needed to stop them.

This update examines the global Patriot shortage, dangerously limited NATO and European stockpiles, Trump’s renewed “not our war” position, and what continued Russian ballistic strikes could mean for Ukraine.

What should the United States, Europe, and the G7 do now? Share your thoughts below—and please like, subscribe, and share this update.

Ukraine and Great Britain are building a defense partnership that could reshape modern warfare. Greg Terry joins Alex from Ukraine to examine Britain’s planned access to Ukraine’s Avenger AI Labs, a battlefield database containing roughly five million images of tanks, artillery, drones, and other military assets.

They also discuss British cooperation involving technology and classified component information connected to SCALP and Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The significance extends far beyond individual weapons: Ukraine’s battlefield experience, technological innovation, and rapidly expanding defense partnerships are changing how Europe prepares for future conflicts.

Greg and Alex reflect on Ukraine’s Independence Day, the Budapest Memorandum, the Kremlin’s furious reaction to British support, and Russia’s partnerships with North Korea and Iran. They also confront the difficult questions ahead—from manpower and mobilization to deep strikes, Russian infrastructure, and the possibility of a longer war.

Ukraine’s position strengthened—not because of one dramatic battlefield victory, but because several hard truths finally moved into the open.

President Zelenskyy warns that Putin is preparing new missile attacks, additional Russian mobilization, and a possible winter escalation. At the same time, Zelenskyy’s meeting with Raytheon brings Ukraine closer to licensed Patriot interceptor production and a stronger long-term air-defense partnership.

We also examine Gen. Mykhailo Drapatyi’s blunt rejection of Soviet military thinking, the divisions developing around Putin, and the consequences of the Marco Rubio–Sergey Lavrov meeting as questions grow about Russia’s support for Iran.

No hype. No hopium. Just the developments that could make Ukraine stronger for the difficult months ahead.

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.

Europe and Ukraine are building a shared anti-ballistic missile shield designed to blunt one of Russia’s last major advantages.

Russia launched a massive overnight strike on Ukraine — and the civilian damage in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia tells a very different story than Moscow’s official claims.

In this update, we break down President Zelenskyy’s response, Mayor Klitschko’s report from Kyiv, the damaged ambulance station, the destruction of Ukrainian Red Cross humanitarian aid, strikes on Nova Poshta, gas stations, civilian neighborhoods, and the shocking attack on a swimming pool in Zaporizhzhia.

Russia’s Ministry of Defense claims it hit military-industrial and energy targets. But the images, videos, and statements from the ground raise the central question: what did Russia actually hit — and why is the Kremlin trying so hard to frame this as strength?

Ukraine says there will be a response. The world needs to see the truth.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptors than in 2025 while Russia is firing twice as many ballistic missiles per month—and Ukraine currently has only 1% of the missile stock request he says could help protect the country through winter.

Meanwhile, Ukraine strikes a critical Russian radar system in Sevastopol, pressure builds around occupied Crimea, Moscow escalates threats toward Japan over the Kuril Islands, and a prominent Russian military spokesman openly describes plans to push Russia’s “buffer zone” deeper into Ukrainian territory.

We break down the ballistic missile numbers, Ukraine’s air-defense crisis, why Kramatorsk and Slovyansk remain critical, and why the warning signs point toward an extraordinarily difficult fall and winter far beyond Ukraine.

I also give an update on our Ukraine Support Bridge campaigns supporting Sava, a Ukrainian refugee student, and Project Constantine.
