Russia’s strategy for the coming months is becoming clearer. Vladimir Putin is signaling that Moscow has the money and political will to continue the war, while President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns that Russia will intensify attacks on Ukraine as the U.S. midterm elections approach.
In this video, we examine Zelenskyy’s warning about escalating attacks on civilians and Kyiv, the growing pressure on the capital’s critical bridges across the Dnipro, and Ukraine’s continuing campaign against Russian oil refineries, pumping stations, and energy infrastructure in Samara and Volgograd.
We also look at the increasingly intense fighting around Dobropillia and why that battle matters for Ukrainian logistics toward Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk. The picture emerging is of a Russia preparing for sustained pressure through the winter while Ukraine continues striking deep into Russia’s rear.

Russia unleashed a massive missile-and-drone attack across Ukraine on Vladimir Putin’s birthday, striking energy infrastructure, bridges, civilian areas, and cities from Kyiv to Kremenchuk and Priluki. President Zelensky said the destruction in Priluki was Russia’s “gift” for Putin’s birthday, as Ukraine faced cruise missiles, ballistic weapons, glide bombs, and drones across the country.
This update looks directly at the human and strategic reality of the attack: the destruction in Priluki, the pressure on Ukraine’s energy system, the strike on Kyiv’s ATL Auto Service distribution hub, and an eyewitness account from a survivor buried under rubble after a Russian strike. Ukraine is still hitting Russian targets and fighting back—but the cost of Russia’s continuing campaign remains severe.
Iryna Vereshchuk, deputy head of President Zelensky’s office, delivers the central warning: there will be no peace in the foreseeable future, and Ukraine must prepare for the continuation of the struggle. Her argument is that Russia is seeking more than territory—it wants Ukrainian submission. We also examine the demands Moscow continues to place on Ukraine, including territorial concessions, neutrality, limits on Ukraine’s military, an end to Western weapons and intelligence support, and the abandonment of reparations.

Russia’s own appointed official in occupied Kherson is now making a remarkable claim about Oleshky: Vladimir Saldo says residents are free to leave, travel into Ukrainian-held territory, and return—and rejects the idea of a mandatory evacuation. Greg breaks down why Saldo’s statement matters after days of reporting on civilians inside the occupied city.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also addresses Russia’s deadly strike on Sumy, newly arrived NASAMS missiles, F-16 deliveries, and Ukraine’s preparations for additional long-range operations. Meanwhile, a Russian Tu-95 strategic bomber has crashed, and Russia has rejected proposals for a Black Sea ceasefire.
The picture gets even bigger as Belarus pushes deeper economic engagement involving Russia and the United States, reports emerge about possible sanctions relief tied to political-prisoner releases, and Vladimir Putin restricts public access to Russian oil and energy data in an effort the Kremlin says is designed to make Western sanctions harder to enforce.
The program also looks at Moscow’s increasingly open response to U.S. policy toward Iran and the growing connection between the wars, sanctions battles, energy markets, and diplomatic maneuvering now unfolding around Ukraine.

Russia is targeting Ukraine's power grid, threatening critical bridges, and intensifying pressure on the Donetsk fortress belt. But Ukraine is fighting back—and today, Professor Gerdes and I break down the bigger picture of a war being fought on multiple fronts.
We examine Russian strikes on energy infrastructure and electrical substations, concerns about Belarus and a potential northern threat, and why the bridges across the Dnipro River are so strategically important. From Kyiv and Chernihiv to Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia, we explain how geography, transportation, and logistics shape Ukraine's defense.
On the eastern front, we examine the fighting around Sumy, Kharkiv, Lyman, and Dobropillia, including Ukraine's efforts to protect the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk fortress belt. We also discuss Russia's war economy, reports concerning Ukrainians in occupied territory, developments at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and Russian propaganda involving Mariupol and Oleshky.
And we end with something powerful: direct messages of gratitude from Ukrainian frontline soldiers. Through Project Constantine and the Summer Strength campaign, supporters have helped provide night vision equipment, thermal optics, vehicles, Starlink terminals, and other urgently requested supplies. You'll hear directly from soldiers of the 42nd Mechanized unit about how this equipment helps protect lives, along with an update on a Polaris vehicle delivered through the campaign.

Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign is hitting Russia’s rear—and the Kremlin cannot keep its story straight.
In this update, Greg breaks down the Wildberries warehouse fires in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk, TASS’s own reporting on the damage and casualties, Kyrylo Budanov’s endorsement of Mykhailo Drapatyi, and Vladimir Solovyov’s furious response.
We also examine the contradiction between Dmitry Peskov’s demand for Ukrainian capitulation and Sergey Lavrov’s discussion of a previous U.S.-Russia compromise as he prepares to meet Marco Rubio.
The bigger story: Ukraine’s military leadership is prioritizing long-range strikes, unmanned systems, technological superiority, and greater pressure on Russia’s logistics network.
Can Ukraine’s growing deep-strike capability force Moscow to negotiate seriously?

Zelenskyy isn’t guessing anymore — he is openly telling Moscow, Belarus, and the world that Ukraine knows exactly what Putin is trying to protect.
In this update, Greg breaks down Zelenskyy’s warning that Russia is pulling air defense systems toward Moscow, Valdai, and the Kerch Strait while Ukraine continues targeting the rear of Russia’s war machine. We also cover Russia’s growing fuel crisis, Ukraine’s strike campaign against Crimea’s bridges and logistics routes, Lukashenko’s dangerous Belarus message, and Marco Rubio’s admission that Alaska was never an agreement — only a proposal made without Ukraine at the table.
From Crimea to Belarus to Washington, the pressure around Putin’s war strategy is building — and Ukraine is making clear it is watching every move.

Crimea is now facing a public fuel crisis — and Russia’s own officials are admitting it.
In this update, Greg Terry and Professor Gerdes break down five major developments that could reshape the war: fuel rationing in Sevastopol, Ukraine’s growing pressure on the so-called “road of death” to Crimea, renewed warnings around Belarus and Transnistria, Ukraine’s expanding long-range drone campaign, and the political fallout from the Lugansk strike.
We also discuss Rubio’s latest comments, the collapse of the so-called “Spirit of Anchorage,” the rise of the “Spirit of Beijing,” and why Russia may be slipping deeper into dependence on China.
This is not hopium. Russia is under growing military, economic, and geopolitical pressure — and Ukraine’s ability to strike deep is changing the battlefield.
🇺🇦 Stand with Ukraine. Fight for truth.

A major diplomatic confrontation is unfolding over Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warns that the war could escalate into a broader regional conflict, the Kremlin publicly agrees with his assessment of the peace process, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivers an unusually direct challenge to the United States.
Zelenskyy rejects the suggestion that Ukraine is trapped in a diplomatic corner. He questions why Washington would entertain future economic projects with Russia while Ukrainians continue to face devastating attacks. His message goes further: Ukraine needs the technology and support to control its skies, particularly as China reportedly approaches completion of a satellite communications alternative that could benefit Russia. Meanwhile, discussions involving American investment in Nord Stream raise serious questions about Washington's negotiating strategy.
On the battlefield, Ukraine continues striking deep inside Russia. Greg examines reports of a Ukrainian strike on Yandex data infrastructure in the Ryazan region, widespread service disruptions, and another attack on the Omsk oil refinery approximately 2,700 kilometers from Ukraine. At the same time, Russia's reported glide-bomb attack on civilian minibuses in Kramatorsk has left dozens dead and injured. Greg also examines reports that Moscow is preparing an expanded campaign against Kyiv's bridges and Ukraine's critical winter infrastructure.
Finally, the program examines reports of a Houthi attack at Riyadh's international airport involving Saudi aircraft and the potential consequences for regional escalation and air-defense resources. From Rubio's warnings and Zelenskyy's demands to Ukraine's deep strikes and Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure, the central question is becoming increasingly urgent: Will the United States help Ukraine gain the decisive capabilities it needs, or will Russia and its partners gain more time?

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy delivers a powerful warning to Donald Trump: America is at risk of choosing the wrong side of history. In a remarkably direct interview with Piers Morgan, Zelenskyy says Ukraine is losing a strong partner—but makes one thing absolutely clear: Ukraine will not sell its country, surrender its independence, or accept Russian control of Ukrainian land.
Zelenskyy confronts Trump's dealings with Vladimir Putin, the proposed energy ceasefire, and the consequences of weakening American support. He also addresses the Starlink and Starshield controversy, warning that disruptions could cost Ukrainian lives. Elon Musk responds to Ukraine's concerns, saying that Starshield restrictions are controlled by the U.S. military and ultimately the American president.
The interview becomes even more consequential when Zelenskyy discusses Ukraine's ability to survive without American support, the staggering Russian casualty figures he reports, and demands for Ukrainian presidential elections. He refuses to resign, rejects the idea that outside powers should choose Ukraine's president, and explains why wartime elections are not currently possible.
Greg Terry examines seven critical questions from the interview, including Zelenskyy's assessment of Putin and his determination to defend Ukrainian sovereignty. Piers Morgan closes with a direct appeal to President Trump, warning against appeasement and urging America to support Ukraine. This is a defining conversation about Ukraine's survival, America's choices, and the consequences of standing on the wrong side of history.

Russia launches devastating attacks on Ukraine, President Zelenskyy raises the alarm over missing ballistic missile warnings, and Washington faces urgent questions about U.S. intelligence sharing. President Trump says intelligence cooperation has not stopped—but the controversy exposes a much larger problem surrounding his proposed Russia–Ukraine energy ceasefire.
Ukraine reports deadly strikes in Kharkiv and Kyiv while Zelenskyy says Ukrainian forces have refrained from attacking Russian oil refineries and energy infrastructure for two days. Russia, meanwhile, continues its attacks. Trump insists the parties agreed to an energy ceasefire because he said they agreed, raising a fundamental question: Can there be a ceasefire when neither side has confirmed accepting one?
At the Warsaw Security Forum, Keith Kellogg delivers an extraordinary statement about targeting Russian oil refineries, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warns that Ukraine's future—and Europe's security—depend on strength, realism, and enforceable international law. We also examine Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov's comments on U.S.–Russian energy cooperation and Trump's statements about Russian and Chinese assistance to Iran.
Today we separate the statements, disputed claims, and actual developments from the political chaos—and explain why the difference matters for Ukraine and the future of European security.

President Zelenskyy is warning that Ukraine expects a major Russian strike involving ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones within the next 24 hours, with particular concern focused on the overnight period. At the same time, Ukraine continues attacking Russia’s southern logistics network, with the main Chongar crossing now destroyed and Russian forces relying on temporary alternatives.
Germany’s foreign minister Johann Wadephul delivers one of the clearest warnings yet about Vladimir Putin’s ambitions, arguing that Putin’s view of the Soviet collapse points toward an effort to reverse it—with Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, and the Baltic states directly implicated.
We also examine the confirmed movement of 30,000 metric tons of Belarusian potash through Russia’s Bronka port toward New Orleans, despite Lukashenko publicly claiming Belarus had no spare volumes available. And a growing diplomatic confrontation between Ukraine and South Korea could become increasingly important as tensions across the Indo-Pacific continue to deepen.

A 22-foot golden statue of Donald Trump was dedicated at Trump National Doral, and Pastor Mark Burns — one of Trump’s spiritual advisors — publicly defended the event by saying, “This is not a golden calf.”
But is that really the issue?
As a Christian pastor, I believe this crosses a serious line. Scripture commands believers to honor leaders, but it does not command us to create golden images of rulers, gather clergy around them, dedicate them with religious language, or turn political loyalty into spiritual devotion.
In this episode, Professor Gerdes and I break down why this is not biblical honor — it is political idolatry dressed in religious vocabulary.
We discuss:
• The difference between honoring leaders and idolizing them
• Why golden images of political rulers are spiritually dangerous
• Pastor Mark Burns’ defense of the dedication
• The “God preserved Trump” argument after Butler
• Why true gratitude should lead to humility and worship of God alone
• The danger of pastors blessing political loyalty as Christian faithfulness
• Why American Christianity must confront this before it goes even further
This is not about left versus right. This is about whether the church still has the courage to say that worship belongs to God alone.
If God spares a man’s life, worship God — do not build a golden image of the man.

Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides had already agreed. But President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine was unaware of any such agreement, while a Russian State Duma energy official also says he knows nothing about it. So what exactly did Trump announce—and where is the agreement?
In this urgent October 11 update, Greg Terry examines Trump's declaration, Zelenskyy's response, and reports of continuing Russian drone strikes and air alerts across Ukraine. Zelenskyy makes clear that Ukraine is prepared to reciprocate if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. But supporting a proposed ceasefire is not the same as confirming an agreement already exists.
Zelenskyy also responds directly to pressure from Trump and Elon Musk, challenges demands for Ukrainian elections during wartime, and says a 60-day total ceasefire would allow Ukraine to organize a vote. He argues that it is easier for critics to pressure Ukraine than to stop Vladimir Putin. Greg examines the timing of Trump's statement, the continuing attacks, and the sharp contradiction between a proclaimed ceasefire and the responses from Kyiv and Moscow.
The central question is accountability: Can Washington announce peace without a verified agreement from the countries actually fighting the war? Greg separates the reported statements from his analysis as this breaking story unfolds.

The fallout from Donald Trump's statements about President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian energy sanctions is growing—and the backlash is coming from Ukraine, Europe, and inside the United States itself. While Trump faces sharp criticism for his approach to Putin, Ukraine continues striking Russian targets, and American lawmakers are preparing a bipartisan challenge.
Ukraine reportedly struck a strategically important railway drawbridge in Rostov-on-Don, while drone attacks were underway near Sochi. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha defended Zelenskyy's legitimacy and the Ukrainian people's right to choose their own president. Meanwhile, Elon Musk publicly declared that Zelenskyy had "gone too far" following criticism of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure.
But the response in Washington is far from unified. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick publicly reaffirmed support for Zelenskyy and announced plans for the bipartisan Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act to block purchases of Russian oil. He intends to use a discharge petition to bring the legislation toward a House vote, potentially bypassing Speaker Mike Johnson. Keith Kellogg defended Ukraine's strikes against Russian refineries, while former Vice President Mike Pence sharply criticized Trump's decision to ease Russian energy sanctions.
Across Europe, leaders are calling for greater military assistance and continued economic pressure on Moscow. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned against easing sanctions and outlined plans for additional measures targeting Russia's war machine. Meanwhile, Kremlin-linked official Kirill Dmitriev echoed calls for new Ukrainian leadership. In this urgent update, Greg Terry examines the growing international backlash, the congressional response, and the consequences for Ukraine as the confrontation over Russian oil, American policy, and Ukrainian sovereignty intensifies.

Three major trends are shaping the Russia-Ukraine war right now: the fight over global diesel supplies, Russia’s determination to finance and man a long war, and an accelerating technology race that could determine what happens through the winter.
Greg Terry and Professor Gerdes challenge the claim that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries are the main cause of the global diesel problem and examine the broader energy picture. They then turn to Russia’s expanding defense spending, continued manpower needs, pressure on occupied Ukrainians, and the signals suggesting the Kremlin is preparing for a prolonged conflict rather than winding one down.
The final—and potentially most important—trend is the technological race. Ukraine continues developing drones, robotics, interceptors, and new air-defense capabilities while Russia adapts its own Shahed attacks against energy and electrical infrastructure. With a difficult winter period approaching, the central question becomes whether Ukraine can scale its defenses fast enough while Western partners continue supplying systems such as NASAMS and Patriot.

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.
