I examine the U.S. invitation to Vladimir Putin for the December G20 summit near Miami and the central strategic dilemma it creates: could access to Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky, and other leaders produce a monitored ceasefire, captive returns, or a halt to energy strikes—or would it rehabilitate Putin while Russia continues the war? Zelensky argues that Putin needs visible victories for his domestic audience, while Moscow still says no prerequisites exist for a real peace track.
I also assess Ukraine’s proposal for a reciprocal halt to attacks on energy infrastructure, its urgent request for Patriot interceptors ahead of winter, and Zelensky’s warning that North Korean personnel are learning drone operations through Russia’s war. Beyond Ukraine, I look at Baltic funding requests to counter Russian drone incursions, Finland’s renewed civil-defense testing, Mark Rutte’s deliberately ambiguous Article 5 threshold, sanctions pressure, and the new Greenland defense agreement with Denmark.

Kazakhstan’s president challenged Vladimir Putin to freeze the war in Ukraine—then abruptly backed away after the Kremlin responded. That reversal reveals how Moscow handles pressure from even its closest partners.
In this update, Greg examines Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s face-to-face message to Putin, Alexander Dugin’s admission that anxiety and discontent are growing inside Russia, and the Kremlin’s refusal to consider freezing the war.
We also break down Ukraine’s long-range strikes against Russian military, industrial and fuel targets—including the Engels air base, Kirov, Tyumen, Rostov-on-Don and vessels carrying military cargo between Iran and Russia.
Plus: the Trump administration’s warning to Kyiv over tanker strikes, threats to Kazakhstan’s oil exports, and Russia’s deadly attacks on gas stations, Nova Poshta workers and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.

Major changes may be coming inside Kyiv as President Zelenskyy returns from Paris—but the biggest names and positions remain unconfirmed.
Greg breaks down reports of a wartime leadership shake-up involving Mikhail Fedorov, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s prime minister, and key defense, energy, and foreign-policy positions. Ukraine has also extended martial law and mobilization for another 90 days.
At the same time, Zelenskyy’s meetings with Emmanuel Macron and the Coalition of the Willing produced major defense commitments: Ukrainian production licenses for SCALP missiles and AASM bombs, cooperation on Aster 30 missiles and the FREYA anti-ballistic program, enhanced SAMP/T NG air defenses, and plans for 16 French fighter jets.
Meanwhile, Peskov and Lavrov sharpen Russia’s attacks on Europe as the divide over Ukraine’s future security grows—and a Russian commentator makes extraordinary claims about damage to Moscow’s fleet.

The Crimean Bridge has not yet been destroyed to allow civilians and military personnel to leave Crimea, avoiding the need to apprehend Russian soldiers in the peninsula's mountains. This was stated by military expert Kirill Sazonov on the "Factory of News " program.
"That's precisely why it hasn't been hit yet. Incidentally, it's already in a state of disrepair after the strike. Traffic is somewhat restricted there, and that's why there are some restrictions. And it seems to me that they're preserving it precisely to allow them to leave, so as not to keep them on the peninsula. First and foremost, we're interested in civilians leaving, so they don't linger there," he said.
Moreover, according to Sazonov, we are interested in the military leaving there, since catching them in Crimea, in the mountains, could be very long and difficult. "So it's better if they go. I think that's precisely why they left this bridge in place. After all, we could tear it down," he said. As reported, the Russians currently do not use the Crimean Bridge for transporting explosive cargo, but if it is included in military logistics, it will not last long.
Thus, Captain 1st Rank of the Ukrainian Navy Reserve, Head of Security Programs at the Strategy XXI Center for Global Studies, Pavlo Lakiychuk, noted that the Crimean Bridge is the Russians' last hope. According to him, after it was "shot down" in 2023 by a successful sabotage operation, the Crimean Bridge was effectively removed from the logistics plan because "Putin feels very sorry for it." Therefore, logistics were transferred to the Kerch ferry crossing, which carried fuel tanks and ammunition wagons. In the fall, our guys destroyed it, and all three ferries were wrecked. Just a month ago, they "delivered a finishing blow" to prevent their repair.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, there are now virtually no safe roads left for the occupiers in southern and eastern Ukraine.
"This is further proof that there will be no peaceful times for the occupiers on our land. This is reflected in the shortages – primarily fuel – in Crimea and other occupied regions," the head of state said.
Following the explosion on the Kerch Bridge in 2022, when a Ukrainian attack ignited fuel tanks, fuel transportation across the bridge was banned. However, the bridge remains the main route for Russian tourists to reach Crimean resorts, the article states.
However, Russian tourism associations are already reporting a drop in bookings of approximately 50% compared to May.
"We didn't notice any food shortages—except for buckwheat and sugar. We were traveling around Crimea, and the beaches were completely empty," said a family of tourists from Moscow.
"We didn't see any fuel oil in the water, although locals said that sometimes traces of it appear on the rocks."
The tourist season in Crimea has not been formally cancelled, but its prospects remain extremely uncertain. Prominent pro-Russian military bloggers are already calling on the authorities to warn citizens about the dangers of travel.

Ukraine is heading into a dangerous fall and winter—and the warning signs are already here: fuel infrastructure under attack, ballistic interceptors under severe pressure, and Russia expanding missile and drone production.
In this technical update, we hear directly from President Zelenskyy, Ukrainian technology adviser “Flash,” GUR deputy chief Vadym Skibitsky, and Magyar about what Ukraine is preparing for. We break down Russia’s attacks on gas stations and energy infrastructure, the growing North Korean role, Russia’s missile production, the 11,000-strike-UAV target, and why ballistic missile defense remains one of Ukraine’s most urgent vulnerabilities.
This isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s about understanding the reality Ukraine is preparing to face—and what its partners must do before winter arrives.

I examine two election results that could sharpen the strategic pressure on Ukraine: AfD’s 38.3% result in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where Friedrich Merz’s CDU fell below the 5% parliamentary threshold, and United Russia’s new constitutional majority in the Duma. AfD leaders have said they would end support for Ukraine, restore relations with Moscow, and resume Russian gas purchases—making Germany’s political instability a major test for European cohesion.
I also look at Ukraine’s effort to build fuel storage in Hungary amid fears of winter strikes, plus the claimed 416 km/h Zorylet V5 interceptor drone. On the Russian side, I assess plans to expand carbon-fiber capacity that could support 28,000 additional Shahed-136-type airframes annually, alongside reported Dan-T missile production targets. The central question is whether Europe can sustain support for Ukraine while Russia further consolidates political power and military-industrial capacity.

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.

Russia’s hybrid warfare against Europe may be entering a far more dangerous phase. In this conversation, Prof and Greg Terry examine sabotage, cyber operations, GPS interference, drones, suspected attacks beyond Ukraine, and the growing risk that Moscow could eventually miscalculate its way into a direct confrontation with NATO.
The discussion focuses on why Vladimir Putin may believe the West still lacks the willingness to respond decisively. Greg draws on more than three decades of experience working in Russia and the region to explain the Kremlin mindset, while the conversation turns to Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, Moldova, Transnistria, Odessa, and the possibility that Russia is deliberately testing the limits of NATO’s tolerance.
They also examine signs surrounding possible Russian mobilization, Moscow’s wartime economy, NATO air-defense shortages, Donald Tusk’s increasingly forceful posture toward Russia, and the danger that one hybrid operation causing significant European casualties could trigger political pressure for a much stronger response.
The central warning is simple: Russia may view Western restraint not as de-escalation, but as permission to keep pushing. Ukraine understands the Kremlin because it has been fighting this war for years. The question is whether Europe and the United States will recognize the danger before a calculated gamble becomes something no one can control.

A Russian Kh-101 cruise missile has landed deep inside Poland—and the response from this major NATO member raises serious questions.
Russia’s massive overnight attack struck Kyiv, Lviv, Kryvyi Rih, and other Ukrainian regions with more than 70 missiles and 280 drones, killing civilians and placing Ukraine’s air defenses under extreme pressure. We examine Donald Tusk’s confirmation of the Polish airspace violation, whether NATO deterrence is weakening, the North Korean missile reportedly used in a deadly strike, Ukraine’s continued attacks inside Russia, and the loss of another Ukrainian F-16.
What should Poland and NATO have done after a Russian missile entered sovereign NATO territory?

Ukraine’s position strengthened—not because of one dramatic battlefield victory, but because several hard truths finally moved into the open.
President Zelenskyy warns that Putin is preparing new missile attacks, additional Russian mobilization, and a possible winter escalation. At the same time, Zelenskyy’s meeting with Raytheon brings Ukraine closer to licensed Patriot interceptor production and a stronger long-term air-defense partnership.
We also examine Gen. Mykhailo Drapatyi’s blunt rejection of Soviet military thinking, the divisions developing around Putin, and the consequences of the Marco Rubio–Sergey Lavrov meeting as questions grow about Russia’s support for Iran.
No hype. No hopium. Just the developments that could make Ukraine stronger for the difficult months ahead.

Ukraine is bracing for what may become a massive overnight Russian attack — and Zelenskyy is cutting his Ireland trip short to return home.
In this breaking update, Greg Terry walks through the latest signals of a large-scale Russian bombardment against Ukraine, including reported Shahed drone waves, potential cruise missile launches, strategic bomber activity, threats to Kyiv and Dnipro, and the growing concern around Belarus-linked transmitters near the border.
We also look at Ukraine’s continued long-range strikes toward Moscow, Voronezh, Saratov, and Crimea — and why tonight could become a major turning point as Russia prepares multiple possible waves of missiles and drones.
Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy, and civilians across Ukraine are facing another dangerous night. Stay alert, keep Ukraine in your prayers, and make sure notifications are on for follow-up updates as confirmed results come in.

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.

Ukraine has launched one of the largest drone waves I’ve seen — with over 400 drones reportedly heading toward Moscow, Voronezh, and Crimea as Zelenskyy’s pressure campaign intensifies.
In this update, we break down the good, the bad, and the ugly: Macron’s claim that the U.S. is no longer neutral on Ukraine, Peskov’s Kremlin response, Ukraine’s Flamingo strike on a key Russian military plant in Volgograd, confirmed Ukrainian MiG-29 losses, Russia’s brutal pressure on the Donetsk fortress belt, the attack on the Slovyansk thermal power plant, massive Russian vehicle losses, cracks inside Russian military propaganda circles, and Putin’s closed-door meeting with Lukashenko.
This is a mixed but important update from the war — Ukraine is hitting deeper, Russia is still grinding hard, and the stakes around Crimea, Donetsk, Belarus, and Western support keep rising.

Ukraine has delivered a powerful 24 hours: a new campaign against Russia’s Ozon network, another reported target destroyed in the Samara region, and major Russian military losses documented by Ukraine’s defense forces. Those losses include aircraft, air-defense systems, radars, and a mobile ballistic-missile launcher.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin insists Ukrainian strikes are producing no significant change and will never give Kyiv an advantage. Greg examines five false Kremlin narratives, including Putin’s attempts to blame Ukraine for starting the war, portray Russia’s attacks as retaliation, and justify strikes against Ukraine’s economy and civilian infrastructure.
The evidence tells a different story: Russia is being forced to defend strategic facilities, repair damaged infrastructure, reposition air defenses, and confront growing pressure from Ukraine’s long-range campaign. Europe is also moving forward with new partnerships and additional air-defense support for Ukraine—but serious vulnerabilities remain.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine has 2.5 times fewer interceptors than in 2025 while Russia is firing twice as many ballistic missiles per month—and Ukraine currently has only 1% of the missile stock request he says could help protect the country through winter.
Meanwhile, Ukraine strikes a critical Russian radar system in Sevastopol, pressure builds around occupied Crimea, Moscow escalates threats toward Japan over the Kuril Islands, and a prominent Russian military spokesman openly describes plans to push Russia’s “buffer zone” deeper into Ukrainian territory.
We break down the ballistic missile numbers, Ukraine’s air-defense crisis, why Kramatorsk and Slovyansk remain critical, and why the warning signs point toward an extraordinarily difficult fall and winter far beyond Ukraine.
I also give an update on our Ukraine Support Bridge campaigns supporting Sava, a Ukrainian refugee student, and Project Constantine.

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.

Crimea is now facing a confirmed fuel crisis and growing electricity problems — and the warning came from Crimea’s own Russian-installed governor.
In this Ukraine war update, Greg breaks down the worsening situation in occupied Crimea, fuel shortages near Moscow, Ukraine’s strike on the Dubna Space Communication Center, Zelenskyy’s confirmation of repeated hits on Russian aviation coordination sites, and the warning that Russia may be preparing a major combined attack within the next 72 hours.
We also cover China’s mixed message on Ukraine’s territorial integrity, Lukashenko’s moves between Putin and Xi, renewed concerns around Belarus transmitters, and Dmitry Karpenko’s claim that Russia may be preparing a 500,000-man mobilization after elections.
From Crimea to Moscow, the pressure on Russia is growing — and Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign appears designed to push Putin toward a deeper internal crisis.

I examine the economic stresses surrounding Russia’s September 2026 Duma election and what Putin may do after securing the mandate he seeks. Reports this week pointed to fuel queues, the release of gasoline reserves ahead of voting, corporate-bond defaults reportedly up 63% year over year, and a 12% decline in Russian travel-agency demand.
I also look at the agricultural dislocation: sunflower prices have fallen amid a 50% export duty, while industry sources describe wheat exports as down at least 60%. The government’s proposed purchase of 3 million tons of grain is far below the 10 million tons analysts say may be needed in the south. Finally, I assess the reported transfer of Nestlé, Auchan, and other foreign subsidiaries to Lev Management, Aeroflot’s MC-21 delivery promises, and the pressure that economic hardship may place on recruitment and future Kremlin choices—from further seizures to mobilization or hybrid coercion.
