Thank You for Standing With Ukraine

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.
