Putin just gave a revealing interview — and it showed exactly how deep Russia’s war aims still go.

In this video, Greg Terry breaks down Vladimir Putin’s 25-minute interview with Pavel Zarubin, including Putin’s admission that Ukrainian strikes are creating infrastructure and fuel problems, Crimea’s urgent supply needs, Russia’s scramble to protect energy facilities, and Putin’s continued obsession with “Donbas and Novorossiya.”

Putin also discusses Ukraine’s drone and missile pressure, claims about the front lines near Sumy, Kupyansk, Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinivka, Zaporizhia, and Crimea, while dismissing Western support for Ukraine and reacting to Macron, Trump, Rubio, the G7, and the so-called “spirit of Anchorage.”

This is a serious look inside Putin’s own words — and what they reveal about Russia’s intentions, Ukraine’s pressure campaign, and the danger still facing Europe.

Putin spent a decade turning Crimea into the most fortified peninsula in Europe. Anti-ship missiles, S-400 batteries, a naval base projecting power across the entire Black Sea. When he annexed it in 2014, his approval rating surged to 89%. Crimea was the crown jewel of his regime, the proof that Russia was back. Today, that crown jewel is becoming an anchor. The Black Sea Fleet has abandoned Sevastopol entirely. The last warship left in July 2024. Ukrainian naval drones made the port too dangerous to operate from. The M-14 highway corridor is under Ukrainian drone fire control. The Kuban-Crimea gas pipeline has been sabotaged. Over 500 Russian air defense units have been destroyed in and around the peninsula in four months alone. Property prices in Sevastopol have collapsed by more than 40%. Insurance companies refuse to issue travel policies for Crimea at any price. And now mobilization has turned the peninsula into a literal trap — men living there have nowhere to flee, because the bridge is monitored, the ferry is limited, and the northern border is the front line. Retired US Army General Ben Hodges has laid out exactly how this ends — not through invasion, but through strangulation. Three simultaneous phases: isolation, degradation, economic collapse. Putin built a fortress. Ukraine turned it into a cage.

In a development that reads like a spy thriller, reports are emerging that Brigadier General Esmail Qaani — head of Iran's elite Quds Force and the most senior IRGC commander still standing after Operation Epic Fury — has been arrested and possibly executed on charges of treason. The accusation stems from a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: Qaani was absent from every major strike that killed Iran's top leadership, including the IDF operation that destroyed Khamenei's underground bunker with 50 fighter jets and ended the Supreme Leader's life. Known as "The Man With Nine Lives," Qaani's extraordinary survival record has apparently exhausted Tehran's patience. Meanwhile the war continues to widen — Israel is striking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs, Iran has reportedly blown up Bahrain's largest petrol refinery, and the US is actively working to sink what remains of Iran's navy.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued one of Ukraine’s most direct warnings yet about the growing danger inside Russian airspace: the “safe days for Russia’s skies are over.” Zelenskyy says Ukraine is not threatening civilian aviation, but warns that increasing Ukrainian drone and missile operations against Russian military targets and the war economy are making Russian airspace increasingly unsafe.

The warning comes alongside a broader escalation in rhetoric between Kyiv and Moscow. Zelenskyy said the United States asked Ukraine to refrain from strikes on Moscow and St. Petersburg from August 25–27, a request Ukraine complied with while Russian attacks continued. Kyrylo Budanov reinforced Zelenskyy’s warning, saying Ukraine will deliver a harsh and proportionate response and that international airlines, insurers, and partners should recognize the new reality in Russian airspace.

Vladimir Putin responded by calling Zelenskyy’s warning a declaration of “state terrorism” and said Russia would respond if a tragedy occurred. Putin also claimed Ukrainian attacks had targeted three Russian nuclear power plants and announced orders for massive strikes against Ukraine’s energy facilities and infrastructure. I examine what Russia is claiming, what Ukraine is actually saying, and why the possibility of propaganda or a false-flag narrative must be watched carefully.

The video also looks at Putin’s meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the growing Russia-Iran relationship, and the extraordinary contradictions in Moscow’s language about sovereignty, aggression, national independence, and the right of nations to defend themselves.

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.
