Ukraine’s overnight drone campaign reportedly struck 15 vessels in the Sea of Azov while hammering energy facilities and Russian air defenses across occupied Crimea.

In this July 13 war update, Greg Terry examines Ukraine’s growing long-range strike campaign, including reported attacks on seven tankers, five cargo ships, Crimean infrastructure, S-400 systems, radar stations, and other Russian military targets.

But Russia is escalating too. We examine the emerging FPV drone threat along the critical Kryvyi Rih–Dnipro supply route, the destruction facing Orikhiv, the terrifying reality civilians experienced during the Sumy attack, and Russia’s massive ballistic missile strike on Odesa.

President Zelenskyy is also in France strengthening the Coalition of the Willing as Vladimir Putin promises increasingly powerful retaliation. Reports now warn that Russia may be preparing another large-scale attack involving as many as 1,700 Shahed drones, while Ukraine remains dangerously vulnerable to ballistic missiles.

Plus, a brief look at renewed tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

What happens next could shape Ukraine’s security heading into the fall and winter. Like the video, share your thoughts below, and subscribe for continuing Ukraine war coverage and analysis.

Zelenskyy called Trump first. Then Trump called Putin — and the timing matters.

In this update, I break down the confirmed sequence of the July 4th calls: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulating President Donald Trump on America’s 250th anniversary, and then Trump’s one-hour-and-25-minute call with Vladimir Putin.

We listen closely to the Kremlin’s own readout from Yuri Ushakov and analyze how Putin framed Ukraine, NATO, Kostiantynivka, Iran, U.S.-Russia relations, and future cooperation with Trump before the upcoming NATO summit.

This is not just about a phone call. It is about narrative, timing, pressure, and how Moscow tries to shape the battlefield conversation before major diplomatic meetings.

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.

Massive Russian Convoy Caught Defenseless By Ukraine FPV Drone - 3 Mins Later, GONE!
#military #ukrainewar #ukrainerussiawar

I examine Vladimir Putin’s decree raising Russia’s authorized armed-forces strength to more than 2.44 million personnel, including 1.55 million active service members. The latest increase adds 49,860 total personnel and 47,860 servicemen—not the reported 300,000-man mobilization target, but potentially an incremental route toward it. I assess the possible manpower sources: coerced Russian citizenship and military registration in occupied Ukraine, reported additional North Korean deployments, and a 2027 Russian defense allocation of 17.1 trillion rubles.

I also look at Estonia’s allegation that Russian intelligence organized the August 15 arson attack on Tallinn’s Milrem robotics factory, the unresolved foreign-actor threat near RAF Fairford, and Europe’s lagging rearmament debate. Ukraine’s general-staff personnel review and Belgium’s planned transfer of three F-16s offer signs of adaptation, while proposed sanctions relief in exchange for prisoner releases raises a hard question: does easing pressure create peace—or reward coercion?

I will show you AMAZING context today.
First, I examine Ukraine’s reported September 26 strike on the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant in Russia’s Rostov region, a facility reportedly linked to components for at least seven Russian missile programs and described as the sole supplier of two essential Kh-101 components. The confirmed strike’s real damage and effect on missile output remain unverified, but it raises a consequential question: can targeted attacks create production bottlenecks in Russia’s long-range strike arsenal? I also assess claims that 14 Russian refineries are offline, nine are operating at reduced capacity, and 97 refinery strikes have occurred this year.

I then turn to Russia’s 170-drone attack, Ukraine’s reported decline in drone interception rates from 86–90% earlier in the year to roughly 70%, and the challenge posed by jet-powered Geran drones. Finally, I look at Ukraine’s tactical shift against Russian reinforcements, the proposed Army of Robots, NC-13 kamikaze ground vehicles used in Operation Vivaldi, and the UN debate over mandatory human control of autonomous weapons.

Thank You for Standing With Ukraine

A Ukrainian journalist got the chance to ask President Donald Trump three direct questions while President Zelenskyy and senior U.S. officials were sitting in the room: What happens with the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill? Will Trump press China? And will the United States move forward on possible Patriot missile production in Ukraine?

Trump said the sanctions legislation is being studied, indicated China would likely come up in discussions, and said talks about Patriot production were continuing. The timing matters because Dmitry Peskov responded the following morning with Moscow’s own message on Ukraine, negotiations, and the possibility of future U.S.-Russia meetings.

In this update, I walk through those exchanges in sequence and examine how the answers from Washington were followed by the Kremlin’s public position. Peskov accused Ukraine and Europe of moving away from peace negotiations, said Putin and Trump remain open to another meeting if necessary, and repeated Moscow’s position that Zelenskyy could come to Moscow for talks.

Zelensky has a warning for Moscow: if Russia keeps targeting Ukraine’s electricity and heating, Ukraine will make winter painful for Russia too. Could Russia’s historic ally—“General Winter”—turn against it?

I examine that warning, Ukraine’s struggle to secure scarce missile interceptors, and Poland’s direct message to the Russian delegation: you can kill more people, but you cannot win.

I also discuss the reported return of U.S. troops to the Baltics, concerns about sabotage and drone operations in Europe, and the competing arguments over inviting Putin to the G20. Zelensky sees a potential opportunity—but would Putin actually attend?

Finally, I examine Trump’s welcome for Xi Jinping, Michael McFaul’s criticism of U.S. foreign policy, and why Taiwan deserves close attention as Washington and Beijing negotiate.

Throughout, I distinguish reported developments, official statements, and my own interpretation.

Senator Lindsey Graham has died suddenly after returning from Ukraine—triggering grief, urgent questions, and a flood of speculation that must be separated from confirmed facts.

Greg examines what is known, why calls for a full and transparent investigation are growing, and why Graham’s recent Ukraine visit and push for tougher Russia sanctions are central to the questions now being asked.

The focus then turns to the battlefield: Ukraine reports 90 Russian vessels struck during its expanding Sea of Azov campaign, while Ukrainian lawmaker Roman Kostenko warns that Russia could open a new northern front toward Chernihiv with support from Belarus after Russia’s September elections.

This update also covers Russia’s growing deep-strike threat, deadly glide-bomb attacks in Sumy, Poland’s transfer of only five Patriot interceptors, and severe electricity and water shortages across occupied Crimea.

Ukraine has struck multiple oil tankers in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea leading to a crisis in Crimea as fuel shortages worsen. The drone barrage came as multiple refineries in Omsk, St. Petersburg, Nizhnekamsk, Tver and Mikhailovsk were smashed by long range drones.

Russian responded with a brutal days long barrage of Ukrainian cities that killed over 20 people. However, after Zelensky's outcry - Donald Trump has signalled that Ukraine may get the license to manufacture Patriot missiles domestically.

And Jerome Starkey brings you latest from on the ground Russian forces continue to push in Sumy and Kupyansk but Ukrainian troops are attempting to hold the lines in Konstantinivkya.

Putin’s own words — and the Kremlin’s response today — make one thing clear: Russia is not preparing for peace. It is preparing for escalation.

In this update, Greg breaks down Peskov’s confirmation of Putin’s position, Zelenskyy’s warning that Putin has ordered Donetsk seized by December 31, and the larger Novorossiya objective that would cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea.

We also look at the brutal reality in Konstantinivka, the pressure on Ukraine’s fortress belt, Lukashenko’s sudden meetings with Putin and Xi Jinping, Belarusian threats after Zelenskyy’s warning, signs pointing toward Russian mobilization after September, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments to Russian state media.

This is a serious moment for Ukraine, NATO, Europe, and the United States — because Moscow is saying out loud what it intends to do next.

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.
