Ukraine Is Building the Missile Shield Russia Fears
Ukraine has spent years asking for more missile defense, especially against ballistic threats. But this story is no longer just about what the West might send. It is about what Ukraine is starting to build for itself.
In this video, I walk through the emerging missile-defense and strike ecosystem Ukraine is putting together: G7 backing, expanded defense manufacturing, Czech cooperation on engin
Is Putin Being Shown a Fake War?
Today I look at a disturbing claim from a former Russia-1 editor who says Putin has been shown special edited news broadcasts for years — reports allegedly designed to create an idealized picture of Russia and, more recently, a distorted view of the war in Ukraine.
That raises a serious question: is Putin making decisions based on reality, or on a filtered version of the war created by the peop
A LOT of Really GOOD NEWS for Ukraine Today
Ukraine had a surprisingly strong 24 hours. Ukrainian drones struck targets across Russia, including logistics infrastructure and a sanctioned shadow fleet tanker. New Ukrainian weapons programs continue to advance, including a domestically produced glide bomb, an upgraded Neptune missile program, and a developing anti-ballistic missile shield.
At the same time, G7 leaders discussed expanding a
Trump’s Iran Deal Has a Secret
Trump is presenting the Iran deal as a breakthrough. But when you look at the details being reported, the story may be less about the headline and more about the fine print.
In this video, I break down the real issue behind Trump’s Iran deal: oil sales, sanctions relief, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear enforcement, and whether Iran is giving up something concrete — or simply buyi
Trump and Zelensky Just Had the Patriot Talk Ukraine Needed
Trump and Zelensky just had a major conversation at the G7 about one of Ukraine’s most urgent needs: Patriot missile production and anti-ballistic interceptors.
Ukraine needs more air defense. Russia continues to target Ukrainian cities, infrastructure, and civilians. Zelensky is already warning that the coming winter could be difficult—and he is trying to make sure Ukraine is not left exposed
MOSCOW STRUCK!
Ukraine struck the Moscow oil refinery overnight on June 16, damaging a primary crude oil processing unit at one of Russia's largest and most strategically important refineries, a facility that supplies roughly 35 to 40 percent of the fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region. The video explains why the strike matters beyond symbolism: it penetrated heavily defended Moscow airspace, hit a
Did Trump Just Bail Out Iran?
Trump is claiming a breakthrough deal with Iran: a ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, ending the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, oil moving again, and continued talks over Iran’s nuclear program. On the surface, that sounds like a win.
But the reported terms raise serious concerns. If Iran gets sanctions relief, access to frozen assets, restored oil sales, and a chance to claim victory
Zelensky Called Trump. Then Putin Made His Move.
Putin and Zelensky Are Both Fighting for Trump's Ear
Zelensky called Trump with praise, strategy, and a push for stronger air defense. Putin followed with flattery, a long birthday call, and a message designed to pull Trump back toward Moscow's version of peace. The real fight is not just on the battlefield. It is also over what Trump believes before he meets Zelensky at the G7.
Zelensky and
Putin’s Holy War Just Hit a 1,000-Year-Old Monastery
Russia’s massive overnight barrage on Ukraine hit the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, including the Dormition Cathedral, one of Eastern Europe’s most important Christian holy sites and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ukraine says a Shahed/Geran-style drone struck the site; Moscow denies responsibility and blames a Patriot interceptor. But the deeper issue is the hypocrisy: Russia presents itself as a defender
DON’T LOOK AWAY.
Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine with 611 drones and 70 missiles, targeting Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and other regions. The video breaks down the numbers, including the high drone interception rate, the weaker ballistic missile interception rate, and the predicted missile buildup that pointed toward a strike of roughly this size. The attack damaged cultural sites including the K
Russians Are Starting to Panic at the Pump
Russia's fuel shortages are spreading from occupied Crimea and Krasnodar into more regions, with drivers facing long gas lines, fuel limits, QR-code distribution systems, empty grocery shelves, and hotels offering gasoline as a tourist perk. The video walks through the week from June 6 through June 13, showing how Ukrainian strikes on refineries and logistics routes are feeding a wider crisis in C
ANOTHER SHADOW FLEET TANKER SIEZED!
Britain Just Seized Putin's Shadow Fleet Tanker
Britain has now crossed a major line against Russia's shadow fleet: Royal Marines boarded and detained a sanctioned tanker in the English Channel. That matters because these ships help carry Russian oil, dodge sanctions, and keep Putin's war funded.
Britain intercepted and detained the sanctioned Russian shadow fleet tanker Smyrtos in the Engli
GREAT News for Ukraine Today!
There is major good news for Ukraine today, and it is not about overnight drone strikes, deep strikes, or battlefield movements. EU member states have agreed to officially open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova, beginning with the “fundamentals” cluster after years of delay.
That matters because Ukraine is not just fighting for territory. Ukraine is fighting for its future place i
The Truth About Ukraine’s Biolabs
Tulsi Gabbard's final major intelligence release has reignited one of the most persistent controversies of the Russia-Ukraine war: the claim that Ukraine housed dangerous U.S.-funded biolabs. Russian state media and pro-Kremlin commentators immediately seized on the announcement as vindication for years of accusations.
But what do the documents actually show?
In this video, we examine Gabbar
Ukraine is BLEEDING Russia Dry
Russia wants to call Ukraine's deep strikes political theater. But the targets tell a different story: oil infrastructure, fuel routes, command points, military logistics, and the roads feeding Crimea are being hit over and over because they help Russia sustain the war.
Ukraine launched another large drone wave into Russia and occupied territory, with reported strikes on oil transport infrastru
Bloomberg: Ukraine Is Winning
Bloomberg is highlighting an argument from the American Enterprise Institute that Ukraine is performing better on the battlefield than it has in years. Russian advances have slowed, Ukrainian drone operations continue to expand, and deep strikes are creating growing pressure on Russian logistics and the Russian economy.
In this episode we examine the evidence behind that claim, Ukraine's milita
Crimea Is Becoming a Problem Russia Can’t Ignore
Ukraine is systematically cutting off Crimea by striking the R-280 Novorossiya highway, bridges, pontoon crossings, logistics hubs, troop trucks, fuel supplies, and ammunition convoys across occupied territory. The video follows how Russian traffic is being forced away from damaged routes, how trucks are backing up near crossings, how fuel shortages and vouchers are spreading, and why long lines o
RUSSIA IS HATING THIS
Ukraine sent roughly 250 drones into Russia while Putin's own overnight attack on Ukraine was far smaller and mostly intercepted. The result is a bad picture for Moscow: refineries burning, chemical plants hit, air defenses pulled toward Putin's own protection, and a possible missile retaliation warning hanging over Ukraine.
Ukraine struck deep into Russia overnight on June 12, hitting major oi
Russia Is Not Acting Like Peace Is Coming
Russia says it wants peace, but its actions tell a different story. In today's update, we examine military movements toward Belarus, new Russian bases near Finland, warnings from NATO officials, hybrid warfare operations across Europe, Moscow's reaction to elections in Armenia, growing concerns about Russian influence campaigns, and why European leaders appear increasingly convinced that the confr
Ukraine Just Changed the Way Wars Are Won
When Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022, the numbers seemed overwhelming. Russia had larger reserves, more tanks, more armored vehicles, more artillery, and one of the world's largest air forces. By traditional measures of military power, Ukraine should not have been able to survive.
Yet four years later, the war has transformed military doctrine across the globe.
Today
Ukraine Just Made Crimea Harder to Supply
Ukraine's latest strikes appear to be part of a larger strategy: make it harder and more expensive for Russia to sustain its war effort. Reports indicate attacks on multiple bridges near Armyansk and other key crossings linking Crimea to occupied southern Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian drones reportedly struck additional refinery and fuel-related targets inside Russia.
These attacks come
Lavrov Just Told the West What’s Coming
Sergey Lavrov just delivered one of the clearest signals yet that Russia has no intention of ending the war on terms acceptable to the West. His remarks come as Ukraine continues deep strikes against Russian military and energy infrastructure, while reports indicate Russia is planning a significant expansion of Mi-8 helicopter production.
At the same time, Moscow is threatening Canada, expandin
Russia’s New Propaganda Team
Russia's traditional propaganda machine appears to be under strain. Some of Moscow's most loyal voices are increasingly frustrated, divided, and at odds with one another. Under normal circumstances, that would create a problem for the Kremlin.
Instead, a different pattern may be emerging.
As Russian propagandists argue among themselves, a number of influential Western personalities are sudde
Ukraine Just Showed Russia What’s Coming
Ukraine's long-range campaign appears to be entering a new phase. Overnight strikes targeted oil refineries, pumping stations, military infrastructure, occupied Mariupol, and a shadow-fleet tanker in the Black Sea. At the same time, Ukrainian officials are discussing plans for missile systems capable of reaching 2,000 kilometers and the mass production of a new air-defense missile designed as a lo
Russia’s Most Loyal Voices Are Turning on Each Other
Russia’s propaganda machine has always depended on confidence, discipline, and the appearance of unity. But this video looks at something different: loyalists, war bloggers, propagandists, and regime-friendly commentators are no longer all saying the same thing.
We look at why Russian state media is so loud, who its audience is, and why that matters. Then we move through several signs of fr
DELETED IN MOSCOW: A TOP RUSSIAN GENERAL
A Russian lieutenant general was reportedly killed in a car bombing near Moscow, potentially marking the fourth successful elimination of a senior Russian officer deep inside Russia's rear. The location is notable: a military-focused district built for defense personnel, veterans, and military families.
Meanwhile, Ukraine continued a broad campaign against Russian military infrastructure. New f
Russia is Having a Bad Day
Russia had a rough day—and that may be understating it.
In this episode, we examine a series of developments affecting Russia simultaneously: the destruction of a major ammunition stockpile near St. Petersburg, continued Ukrainian strikes against energy infrastructure, worsening logistics problems in Crimea, reported Russian withdrawals linked to supply constraints, Armenia's election results,
Iran Thinks Time Is on Its Side
Overnight, Iran and Israel exchanged direct strikes once again, with Iranian ballistic missiles targeting Israel and Israeli airstrikes reported near Tehran. At the same time, President Trump called for an immediate ceasefire while reports emerged that Israel may have been aggressively gathering intelligence on U.S. negotiations with Iran.
But the real story may be deeper.
According to leadi
Ukraine Is Hitting Russia Faster Than Russia Can Recover
Ukraine's long-range strike campaign continues to intensify. Overnight attacks targeted the Novorossiysk oil region, airfields, substations, and additional military infrastructure as Kyiv maintains pressure on Russia's economy and war machine. Meanwhile, Russian forces launched another large drone attack against Ukraine, but missile activity remained notably absent—suggesting Moscow may be accumul
What a Geriatric Physician Told Me About Trump
Questions about Donald Trump's cognitive health have become a recurring topic in American politics. Supporters dismiss concerns as partisan attacks. Critics point to verbal slips, unusual statements, and changes in behavior. But what does a physician trained in aging actually look for?
In this video, I share what a geriatric physician told me about her observations. We examine normal aging, cogni
Putin’s Fuel Crisis Is Spreading Fast
Russia's fuel crisis is spreading from occupied Crimea into Moscow, St. Petersburg, Belgorod, Kursk, occupied Luhansk, and other regions after repeated Ukrainian strikes on refineries, fuel tankers, ferries, logistics routes, and energy infrastructure. The video follows the crisis day by day from June 1 through June 6, showing how fuel shortages, rationing, black market gasoline, damaged rail ferr
I Compared Four Leaders on D-Day. The Difference Was Striking
On the anniversary of D-Day, I compared remarks from Pete Hegseth, Ronald Reagan, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Dwight Eisenhower to examine how leaders communicate during moments of remembrance. Reagan focused on the heroism of the Rangers at Pointe du Hoc. Zelensky connected the Allied struggle against tyranny to the defense of freedom today. Hegseth emphasized alliance burdens and modern security cha
Ukraine Just Made Crimea Harder to Hold
Ukraine carried out another series of strikes across occupied Crimea and Russian-controlled territory overnight, targeting fuel infrastructure, rail assets, and a key transportation route used to support Russian operations. The most significant strike appears to be damage to the Chonhar land corridor route, forcing traffic to be rerouted and potentially complicating Russian logistics into Crimea.
What Happens Next for Trump, Putin, and Ukraine?
This spring members Q&A covered the topics many of you have been asking about for months. We discussed the future of U.S. support for Ukraine, whether Donald Trump could ever shift his position if Ukraine gains momentum, Putin's long-term prospects, the condition of Russia's economy, and whether the war can realistically continue into 2026 and beyond.
We also explored the possibility of pol
Putin’s Problems Are Multiplying Fast
Putin wanted the St. Petersburg forum to project strength. Instead, Ukraine’s long-range strikes, battlefield pressure, allied deals, and even uncomfortable signals from Belarus turned the week into another reminder that Russia’s problems are spreading faster than Putin can control.
Ukraine’s long-range drones reached targets near St. Petersburg and Krasnodar while Russia’s supply routes, ships
Even Putin’s Own War Bloggers Are Mocking Him
Russia's Oreshnik missile was supposed to demonstrate power. Instead, Vladimir Putin's explanation of a recent launch triggered a wave of criticism from Russia's own military bloggers.
After months of hype surrounding the missile, Putin publicly stated that one strike targeted garages because Russian forces wanted to observe how the warheads landed. That explanation contradicted earlier claims
Russia Got Hit Hard Last Night
Russia woke up to fires, explosions, and drone strikes across multiple regions overnight. In this update, we examine reports from St. Petersburg, Kronstadt, Mariupol, Tyumen, Rostov, and Krasnodar as Ukraine appears to have conducted one of its most geographically expansive strike campaigns to date.
We look at the targets that were hit, why oil infrastructure remains critical, how Russia may be
Russia Just Rejected the Off-Ramp — And Raised the Stakes
Putin admitted that Russia used the Arishnik missile not as a decisive battlefield weapon, but to hit a shed or garage area where the results would be easy to observe. That explanation undercut the earlier propaganda that framed the strike as retaliation for Starobilsk, secret NATO facilities, underground bases, or major Ukrainian military targets. The transcript follows Putin's own words, the dam
Putin’s Answer Raises More Questions Than Answers
Zelensky published an open letter calling for a direct meeting with Putin and arguing that the war is Putin's personal choice, not a product of NATO, language, or geopolitics. Russia's response moved through Peskov's claim that Zelensky could come to Moscow, TASS collecting dismissive reactions that called the letter a PR stunt or a plea for peace, and Putin saying he saw no point in meeting unles
Ukraine Just Made the Sea of Azov Unsafe for Russia
Ukraine struck five vessels in the Sea of Azov near Taganrog Bay, including a tanker and cargo ships linked to stolen Ukrainian goods, military cargo, and fuel transport. The strikes followed a pattern that began with pressure on Russia's land corridor, moved into Crimea and the Kerch Bridge area, and now reaches seaborne logistics in the Azov Sea. The video also covers an oil depot strike in occu
Senators Grilled Rubio — Then He Said This About Ukraine
Secretary of State Marco Rubio faced intense questioning from senators over the Trump administration's approach to Ukraine, Russia, sanctions, and diplomacy. Lawmakers challenged the administration's reluctance to publicly champion Ukraine, while Rubio responded with unusually blunt assessments of Russia's failures on the battlefield and the long-term consequences of the invasion. At the same time
Zelensky Just Called Putin’s Bluff
President Zelensky released an extraordinary open letter addressed directly to Vladimir Putin, and it was unlike anything we've seen before. In it, Zelensky argued that Russia's resources are shrinking, that Russians are growing tired of the war, and that Putin's long-term strategy is failing to achieve its objectives. He pointed to battlefield losses, economic pressures, sanctions, dependence on
Russia Just Admitted War Could Last Decades
At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum one prominent voice openly discussed the possibility of Russia remaining on a wartime footing for decades, raising serious questions about what Moscow really expects from this conflict. In this episode, we examine what was said, why it matters, how Russia may be preparing its economy and society for a prolonged confrontation, and what these commen
Ukraine Has Earned Its Seat. So What’s the Delay?
Ukraine's defense industry is expanding at a remarkable pace. Its battlefield innovations are influencing military planners across Europe and North America. Yet despite Ukraine's growing importance to European security, major questions remain about NATO membership, European Union integration, and long-term Western commitments. In this episode, Professor Gerdes examines why Ukraine's strategic valu
Ukraine Just Keeps Coming
Ukraine's campaign against Russian military and economic targets continued overnight, with strikes reported near Crimea, Donetsk, and other occupied territories. We examine the latest attacks, Ukraine's growing drone and missile capabilities, Russian battlefield losses, manpower shortages, and what these developments could mean for the future of the war. We also discuss Ukraine's expanding deep-st
2Putin Wanted a Showcase. He Got a Circus.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum opened with Russia trying to project strength, but the transcript follows how that image kept collapsing in real time. Ukrainian drones struck near St. Petersburg, satellite imagery showed the aftermath at the port, Taliban representatives appeared at the forum, Russian officials presented fantasy scenarios about controlling Ukrainian cities and coll
PUTIN HUMILIATED
Ukraine launched roughly 310 drones into Russia overnight, striking targets around St. Petersburg just as Putin's flagship economic forum was opening. The attacks hit the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Kronstadt area where the Baltic Fleet corvette Boyki was in dry dock, the Progress plant tied to aviation and missile control systems, and other Russian oil infrastructure. The timing turned the f
NOW HUNTING BALLISTIC MISSILE PRODUCTION
Russia's massive overnight attack on Kyiv, including the estimated quarter-billion-euro cost, the 73 ballistic and cruise missiles, and more than 650 drones used against Ukraine. From there, I explain why ballistic missiles are so hard to stop, why the Patriot shortage matters, and why Ukraine may now put Russian missile production and defense engineers higher on the target list. I also walk throu
IMPORTANT: Putin Wants You Looking in the Wrong Place
Russia launched another massive overnight attack against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, killing civilians and damaging residential buildings. The images are dramatic, and the human cost is real. But are these attacks telling us the full story of what is happening in the war?
In this video, we examine battlefield trends, Ukrainian deep-strike campaigns, oil refinery attacks, logistics disrupti
While Russia Hammered Kyiv, Ukraine Kept Breaking Records
Russia launched a massive overnight attack against Ukraine, striking Kyiv, Dnipro, and other cities with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, including a significant number of difficult-to-intercept ballistic missiles. The attacks caused civilian casualties, damaged residential areas, and left parts of Kyiv covered in smoke. At the same time, Ukraine continued long-range strikes against Russ
Russia Found Europe’s Back Door
Russia Found Europe's Back Door. In today's briefing, we begin with Ireland and growing controversy over alumina exports linked to Russian supply chains, before examining concerns about visa access, travel arrangements, and other pathways critics describe as loopholes benefiting Moscow. We then move across Europe, looking at Serbia, Belarus, Hungary, and France's seizure of a sanctioned Russian ta
The Real Reason Ukraine Isn’t Getting What It Asked For
President Zelenskyy has once again publicly appealed for increased Patriot missile production and for Ukraine to receive licenses to help manufacture advanced air defense interceptors. Yet despite repeated requests, Washington remains unmoved. In this discussion, we examine Senator Chris Murphy's comments on Ukraine aid, the political dynamics surrounding support for Ukraine, and Greg's theory reg
Daily Russian Casualties Remain High. Here’s Why.
Ukraine's drone campaign continues to expand while Russia struggles to protect critical infrastructure, supply routes, and even Moscow itself. Tonight we examine reports of over 200 Ukrainian drones in the air, growing Russian concerns about deep strikes, new evidence of logistical disruption stretching from Crimea to occupied southern Ukraine, and record Russian vehicle losses on the battlefield.

Russia’s Officials Are Starting to Say the Quiet Part Out Loud
Russian officials are starting to say things that would have been almost unthinkable a year ago. A Duma deputy openly raised the specter of 1992-style hyperinflation as Russia struggles with mounting deficits, slowing growth, rising debt issuance, fuel shortages, and growing pressure on key industries. In this video, we walk through a week of economic developments inside Russia, from gasoline rati
Ukraine Shattered MULTIPLE Records Today
Ukraine delivered another punishing day for Russia, striking multiple oil and logistics targets deep inside Russian territory while Russian forces suffered record battlefield losses. In this video we examine Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries, fuel depots, and logistics hubs, the latest battlefield statistics, record Russian equipment losses, one of the highest combat engagement totals of the w
Russia Is Playing a Very Dangerous Game
Russia appears to be taking increasingly risky actions. A drone strike at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant raises serious questions, while Russian drones reportedly landed in Romania once again, bringing the war closer to NATO territory. Add Medvedev's latest threats, new warnings from analysts and military leaders, Russian pressure on Armenia, and continued escalation across multiple fronts,
3 Things Russia Can’t Seem to Fix
Ukraine's long-term advantage may not come from a single offensive or a new weapons system. It may come from the way Ukrainians innovate, adapt, and remove barriers to getting things done. In this video, we examine three structural weaknesses that continue to hold Russia back: a slower innovation cycle, a centralized command culture, and corruption that drains resources and effectiveness. From dro
Ukraine had a ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC Night
Ukraine had a remarkable night across multiple fronts. Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Feodosia oil storage facility in occupied Crimea yet again, continuing a campaign that has steadily reduced the site's fuel storage capacity. Another strike hit energy infrastructure in Krasnodar Krai, while drones also damaged a shadow fleet oil tanker preparing for loading operations. In one of the nigh
The Ukraine War Ends When This Finally Breaks
How does the war in Ukraine actually end? Not the slogans. Not the propaganda. The real answer may come down to whether Russia can continue sustaining the economic, political, and military pressure of a grinding long war. In this analysis, we examine why Russian losses are beginning to outpace replacement rates, why Ukraine’s growing long-range strike capabilities matter so much, why NATO is incre
The Way Russia Fights Is Why It Will Lose
A top Ukrainian commander argues that Russia’s greatest weakness is not equipment shortages or sanctions — it’s the Soviet-style command culture that still dominates the Russian military. In this video, we break down why rigid hierarchy, fear-based leadership, and an inability to adapt may be trapping Russia in a losing battlefield strategy, while Ukraine’s decentralized drone warfare and mission-
It was a CONSEQUENTIAL Night
Ukraine unleashed approximately 250 drones against targets across Russia, including another strike on the strategically important Volgograd refinery. Ukrainian forces also targeted Russian air defense assets, radar systems, and logistics infrastructure as Kyiv continues expanding its long-range strike campaign. Meanwhile, Russia launched more than 230 drones against Ukraine, but one of those attac
Russia Suddenly Has a Serious New Air Threat
Ukraine may have finally found a way to challenge one of Russia’s biggest battlefield advantages: glide bombs. Sweden’s Gripen deal is not just about getting more jets into Ukrainian hands — it’s about pushing Russian aircraft farther away from the front and making their bombing campaign far more dangerous and costly.

72 Hours Ago Iran Peace Looked Real. Now This.
The last week completely changed the trajectory of U.S.-Iran relations. What looked like a near-finalized peace agreement has rapidly deteriorated into renewed military strikes, collapsing confidence, threats over the Strait of Hormuz, and growing fears of escalation. In this video, we walk step-by-step through the timeline of what happened, why the negotiations started falling apart, and why the
Russia Is Attacking Everywhere — And Going Nowhere
Russia just recorded one of the highest combat engagement days of the entire war — but despite massive assaults across the front, battlefield progress remained limited. Ukraine’s growing drone dominance may be fundamentally changing the war. In this video, we examine why Russia’s offensive pressure is producing fewer meaningful gains, what ISW says about the Kremlin’s recruitment strain, and how U
Zelensky Warns Moscow: More Losses Are Coming
Ukraine is launching a massive new push to expand long-range drone warfare against Russia, and Zelensky is warning that “more losses are coming.” In this video, we break down Ukraine’s new $113 million logistics lockdown program, the rapid development of heavier deep-strike drones, and why Russia’s supply routes and rear areas are becoming increasingly vulnerable. We also examine how Ukraine is us
The Kremlin Is Quietly Backing Away From Victory
For years, Russian state media promised total victory in Ukraine. Now, many of the same voices are quietly changing the story. Kremlin insiders, propagandists, military bloggers, and even Russian officials are suddenly talking very differently about the war. Odesa is no longer guaranteed. “Victory” is being redefined. And some inside Russia appear increasingly worried about what happens if this wa
UKRAINIANS HAD A BUSY NIGHT ATTACKING RUSSIA
Ukraine had a busy night striking Russia. Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted Russian aviation infrastructure in Voronezh, Taganrog, occupied Sevastopol, and the Tuapse oil terminal while Russia launched another major drone wave against Ukrainian cities. Reports indicate strikes against Black Sea Fleet aviation headquarters, aviation repair infrastructure, fuel facilities, and key military target
Putin Threatened Kyiv. Europe Said No.
Russia escalated its threats against Kyiv, warning foreign diplomats and civilians to leave ahead of a new campaign of strikes. But instead of evacuating, European leaders and diplomats publicly refused to leave. Macron, Kallas, Tusk, and others effectively told Moscow that intimidation would not work. In this video, we examine Lavrov’s threats, Europe’s response, Rubio’s reaction, the Kremlin’s b
ISW: The War in Ukraine Has Entered a New Phase
The ISW says the war in Ukraine has entered a “new phase,” and the evidence is increasingly difficult to ignore. Ukrainian forces are degrading Russian logistics far behind the front lines, striking highways, rail corridors, depots, air defenses, and operational infrastructure with growing precision and frequency. Russian advances are slowing, casualties are mounting, and Ukraine appears to be ach
Ukraine Hit OVER 10,000 Russian Targets in One Week!
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces say their drone units hit 10,261 separate enemy targets between May 18 and May 24. The reported results included over 2,100 Russian personnel casualties, hundreds of vehicles and drone-control positions destroyed, artillery systems knocked out, ammunition depots hit, and more than 2,500 Russian drones intercepted or destroyed. The scale of the operation highlights
