Russia continues striking civilian targets in Ukraine while Washington considers new measures that could ease economic pressure on Moscow. President Zelenskyy is drawing a hard line: Russia's war has not stopped, and sanctions should not be lifted. Meanwhile, reports involving frozen Russian assets, sanctioned shadow-fleet tankers, and Russian oil exports raise serious questions about the direction of American policy.
In today's update, Greg Terry examines the destruction of a grocery store in Ukraine's Odesa region, reported Ukrainian strikes against Russian Su-34 aircraft, and Zelenskyy's decision to resume attacks on Russian oil refineries. Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, and Sergey Lavrov accuse Ukraine of undermining peace efforts, even as Russia continues its military campaign. Greg challenges those claims and examines the growing confrontation over sanctions, energy, and negotiations.
The Financial Times reports on a U.S. proposal involving frozen Russian sovereign assets that European officials reportedly rejected. Separate reporting indicates the Trump administration is considering easing restrictions on certain shadow-fleet tankers. Meanwhile, Britain is reportedly increasing military assistance to Ukraine, including Storm Shadow missiles and air defenses. Greg also examines competing statements from British official Wes Streeting and Germany's Alice Weidel, along with the role of Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
Questions surrounding Starlink, Starshield, and Ukrainian military communications are also intensifying. Senator Thom Tillis is calling for an investigation, Representative Don Bacon is openly challenging Trump's position on Ukraine, and Elon Musk has again criticized Zelenskyy. With CNN reporting serious shortages of Patriot air-defense missiles, Ukraine faces difficult questions about its ability to protect civilians while continuing to strike Russian military and energy targets.

President Donald Trump announces a major agreement with Vladimir Putin to bring Russian diesel fuel into American and global markets—and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivers a sharp warning about rewarding Russia while its war against Ukraine continues.
Trump says Russia will supply hundreds of thousands of tons of diesel immediately, with additional deliveries planned. The U.S. Treasury has also authorized Russian diesel transactions through April 7, 2027. Greg Terry examines the potential financial benefit for Moscow, the implications for Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries, and Mike Waltz's defense of the administration's decision. Zelenskyy warns that gifts to Putin will not bring peace and that weakening sanctions without real de-escalation sends a dangerous signal.
Meanwhile, European officials are pressing Spain and Greece to provide Patriot PAC-2 interceptor missiles to Ukraine. In Montenegro, authorities detain and order the expulsion of Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of the pro-Russian Rybar Telegram network. His own account of the detention and deportation raises further questions about Russian influence and European security.
Greg connects these developments to a larger question: Can Ukraine rely on Western partners when decisions meant to ease economic pressure may also benefit Russia's war machine? From Washington's diesel agreement to Europe's air defense decisions and Moscow's reaction, this is a consequential day for Ukraine's diplomatic and military struggle.

President Donald Trump has publicly suggested that Ukraine needs a new president, directly attacking Volodymyr Zelenskyy while Russia continues its war against Ukraine. At the same time, Trump is defending a major shift involving Russian diesel imports into the United States—and the Kremlin is welcoming his words.
In this urgent update, Greg Terry breaks down Trump's statements blaming Zelenskyy for the war, demanding that Ukraine stop striking Russian oil refineries, and suggesting that Ukraine should replace its leadership. We examine the Russian response, Zelenskyy's outreach to European allies, and the growing concern that Washington's energy policy could weaken pressure on Vladimir Putin.
We also examine reports of a Russian diesel shipment already approaching the United States, the timing of the shipment, and whether additional Russian fuel will meaningfully affect American diesel prices. Greg raises a critical strategic question: Could America's new interest in Russian refinery output change how Washington responds to Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia?
Finally, Ukraine's parliamentary speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk delivers a forceful warning against easing economic pressure on Moscow. His message is clear: rewarding Russian aggression will not produce a just and lasting peace. This episode separates Trump's recorded statements, reported developments, and the serious questions they raise for Ukraine, Europe, and America's future policy.

Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. But on October 12, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European leaders, and even House Speaker Mike Johnson made statements that raise serious questions about Trump's announcement—and Russia's response makes the situation even more troubling.
In this special source-driven update, we hear directly from Zelenskyy following Russia's reported strike on energy infrastructure in Kharkiv. Zelenskyy challenges the argument linking Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries to global diesel prices, while Mike Johnson points to the unresolved situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Zelenskyy also explains why protecting Ukraine's electricity system is central to any energy ceasefire.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz rejects a diesel arrangement with Russia and calls for stronger sanctions. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns against shifting responsibility for Russia's war onto Ukraine. Then we hear from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, whose statements about European leaders, Ukrainian elections, and Russia's military objectives reveal just how far Moscow remains from accepting a meaningful ceasefire.
Rather than rely on speculation or social media interpretations, today's Greg Terry Experience brings you the words of the leaders themselves—and the striking contradictions surrounding Trump's ceasefire announcement.

Art Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies joins Mike Baker on The PDB Situation Report to examine a dramatic surge in terrorism-related encounters at the southern border.
With more than 11,000 encounters recorded at southwest border ports of entry, Arthur explains why the numbers have skyrocketed—and why they don't necessarily mean thousands of known terrorists are attempting to enter the country. He breaks down how tighter border security is forcing smugglers and cartel members toward official checkpoints, how new terrorist designations are changing enforcement, and how criminal networks previously exploited gaps in Border Patrol coverage.

Dr. Richard Shaw, an expert hired by Johnny Depp's legal team, testified that the psychologist hired by Amber Heard's legal team broke rules and was unethical in rendering an evaluation of Depp without meeting with him. Shaw cited the Goldwater Rule, which calls for psychiatrists not to render an opinion of a public figure without having met with them to do a proper evaluation.

President Donald Trump has said strikes on Iran could resume after November's midterm elections if Iran does not agree to a deal.
In the meantime, Iran's armed forces spokesman is warning neighboring countries not to rely on the US for security. He said this morning, "continued reliance on the so-called US security umbrella means accepting the heavy costs of a wrong calculation and decision."
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman also claiming the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was done "in accordance with international law."
Over the weekend, the US military said it was able to disable a vessel that was attempting to get around the blockade of Iranian ports.

A missile attack struck King Khalid International Airport on Saturday, killing at least 12 people and injuring more than 300 others amid escalating regional violence tied to the war in Iran. The strike hit Terminals 3 and 4 at the Riyadh facility, causing a partial roof collapse that forced the immediate suspension of all commercial flights. President Donald Trump said the United States is evaluating whether to join Saudi forces in direct retaliatory strikes, following a series of similar drone and missile attacks launched across the kingdom this week.
