10,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or seriously wounded so far in October with most of them in the exact direction that Russian leadership lied about this past week. In fact we’ve got some footage from the Dobropillia direction that was just released showing the fields covered in Russian bodies after they try again and again to advance along the same deadly route, only to be met by Ukrainian drones.

Putin is standing in the way of peace

Check out our two fundraisers ongoing right now to support Ukrainian units fighting in the east

Looks like Putin has rejected Zelensky’s ceasefire proposal but accepted one from Melania Trump. Didn't expect that one today but it's good news for the people of Oleshky.

Lukashenko is walking a political tightrope. After reportedly disabling the Belarusian repeaters used to help guide Russian drone attacks into Ukraine, he responded with fiery rhetoric aimed at showing strength without actually escalating. In this video, we examine why Belarus backed down, how Putin is increasing pressure on Minsk, why Zelensky’s warning appears to have worked, and what comes next as Ukraine prepares a major 40-day campaign to increase pressure on Russia. We also cover new European military aid, Russia’s growing fuel shortages, Trump’s latest comments on Ukraine, Tucker Carlson’s latest controversy, and what all of it means for the broader trajectory of the war.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has confirmed that the United States is stepping back from direct participation in Ukraine peace negotiations unless “the dynamics change.” Critics of the talks say the diplomatic process had become a dead end — or worse, a strategic advantage for Russia. Former Ambassador Michael McFaul called the effort a complete failure, arguing the U.S. made concession after concession while getting nothing meaningful in return. Others, including Anne Applebaum and Michael MacKay, argue that ending what they describe as a “fake peace process” may actually strengthen Ukraine’s position rather than weaken it. Meanwhile, retired Lieutenant General Ben Hodges says the battlefield momentum has shifted irreversibly toward Ukraine, raising a larger question: was America’s diplomatic strategy slowing down the inevitable?

Zelensky says Ukraine has intelligence suggesting Russia may be pressuring Belarus into opening a new front against Ukraine or even threatening NATO territory through the Suwałki Gap. In this video, we break down what the possible northern threat could look like, why Chernihiv and Kyiv matter strategically, and what Zelensky revealed about alleged Russian plans targeting Ukrainian leadership. We also examine new EU drone funding for Ukraine, Russian claims about Ukrainian information warfare inside Russia, the latest tribunal developments against Putin, ongoing Kremlin nuclear saber-rattling around the Sarmat missile, and the return of Ukrainian POWs after years in captivity.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Ukraine sent 440 drones toward Russia and occupied territory overnight—more than three times the number Russia sent toward Ukraine. And enough got through to hit a major refinery 1,300 kilometers from the border, another Wildberries logistics hub, infrastructure in Crimea, and Russian military targets.

The overnight strikes were only part of the story. Russia’s Orsk refinery may now remain shut for months, Ukraine says it struck Russian drone-control infrastructure in occupied Crimea, and new battlefield reporting shows Ukrainian forces reclaiming territory even as competing maps give sharply different pictures of Russian gains. I’ll separate what is confirmed, what is claimed, and what the available evidence actually shows.

Ukraine appears to be running a deliberate long-term campaign against Russia’s energy infrastructure — pausing briefly around the May 9 parade before resuming strikes across refineries, fuel systems, and military targets deep inside Russia. But this video goes beyond refinery hits. It also reveals how Ukraine is adapting technologically, turning drones, glide bombs, attrition, and economics into one integrated strategy against Moscow.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has issued a striking warning about Ukraine’s government, corruption, and the need to develop a mechanism for elections even while the war continues. The arguments themselves deserve serious consideration—but the timing has triggered criticism inside Ukraine. Fedorov released his message just as President Zelensky nominated a permanent replacement for him, after Fedorov reportedly rejected another government role. In this update, I examine what Fedorov actually said, why the election argument is controversial, how Ukrainians and analysts are reacting, and why this move could ultimately damage the political standing of one of Ukraine’s most popular and capable leaders.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Ukraine’s overnight strike on Moscow appears to have been larger and more successful than early Russian reports suggested. New geolocated flight paths and strike analysis indicate Ukrainian drones penetrated several defensive layers surrounding Moscow before striking oil infrastructure, pumping stations, industrial sites, and logistics targets around the capital. Analysts argue the attack demonstrated that Russia still cannot fully defend Moscow despite concentrating some of its strongest air defenses there. Meanwhile, Russian civilians reacted with growing alarm as drone strikes disrupted daily life near the capital. The attack came as Russia launched another massive wave of missiles and drones against Ukraine, including strikes on residential areas in Dnipro and Odessa that wounded civilians and children. The contrast between Ukrainian strikes on infrastructure targets and Russian strikes on apartment blocks is becoming harder to ignore as the war enters another dangerous phase.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

I examine early reports that Ukraine’s Third Army Corps has cut a Russian salient north of Lyman after a four-month counterattack, reportedly liberating more than 200 square kilometers. If confirmed, this is more than a local map change: it could disrupt or delay Russia’s planned northern Donbas offensive. The timing is notable, as Ukraine says Moscow has moved its deadline to capture all of Donbas from December 31, 2026, to March 31, 2027.

I also cover the major exchange of long-range strikes overnight. Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Rosneft Saratov refinery—said to process about 4.8 million tons annually—along with UAV launch infrastructure and command posts. Russia’s retaliatory attack on Kyiv and other cities involved drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles; the exact ballistic total remains unclear. I assess reported air-defense interceptions, damage to civilian sites including a Kyiv supermarket and TV studio, and Ukraine’s expanding use of unmanned ground vehicles for logistics and casualty evacuation.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

I examine an extraordinary October 5 battlefield tally: 727 Russian vehicles and fuel tanks reported destroyed, 2,020 Russian personnel losses, 4,687 total targets struck, and 637 Russian troops reportedly hit by Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces. These records came on a day with only 177 combat engagements, well below the recent average—raising an important question about Russia’s slowing pace of territorial advances in 2026.

I also track the overnight drone war. Russia launched 205 UAVs at Ukraine, including 49 jet-powered Shahed-type drones, while an energy strike in Poltava Oblast left 22,000 customers without power. Ukrainian forces reportedly struck Russian UAV infrastructure, command posts, and a depot in occupied territory, alongside reported Su-34 and Su-35 losses. I assess Ukraine’s AI-enabled gun turrets and anti-drone road tunnels against Russia’s evolving defenses, including barrage balloons intended to protect oil refineries from drones.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Putin is not talking like a man looking for peace. He is talking like a man building a case for escalation. After ordering more mass strikes on Ukraine, claiming victories Russia has not actually achieved, and accusing Europe of involvement in attacks on Russia, Putin appears to be preparing the narrative for something larger. Intelligence warnings about possible Russian provocations against Poland or the Baltic states make this especially dangerous. The question is no longer just what Russia will do next in Ukraine. The question is whether Putin thinks he can test NATO without triggering a full response.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

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, and a pattern begins to emerge. In this video, we examine whether these incidents are isolated events—or evidence that the Kremlin is becoming more willing to take dangerous risks as the war continues.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Ukraine is hitting Russian oil refineries as Zelensky prepares to meet Trump—and I explain why those strikes are a bargaining chip Ukraine cannot afford to surrender without something in return.

I examine Ukraine’s reported strikes on the Kuibyshev and Ufa refineries, reports that Moscow’s refinery has halted crude processing after an earlier attack, and Ukrainian strikes targeting Russia’s drone infrastructure. The strategic question is straightforward: why should Ukraine stop hitting Russian refineries while Russia continues attacking Ukraine’s electricity and energy supplies?

I also cover Russia’s overnight attacks, the reported destruction of a Ukrainian oil and gas facility, power outages ahead of winter, and the latest battlefield developments. I distinguish reported damage from uncertain estimates—including the claim about how much Russian refining capacity is offline.

Finally, I discuss drone warfare, an unconfirmed report of strikes on Russian FSB sites, and the former Russian mayor whose journey from a bribery conviction to the battlefield offers a grim illustration of this war.

My argument: any agreement to halt attacks on energy infrastructure must protect Ukraine’s energy system too. Pressure on Zelensky alone will not accomplish that.

Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points. Principle over partisanship.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

I examine reports that Russian Major General Anton Grunas, commander of the 4th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade, was killed in occupied Donetsk Oblast on September 12. Grunas had personally briefed Vladimir Putin on Russia’s claimed capture of Konstantinovka and received the Gold Star Hero of Russia less than three weeks before his reported death. Yet available battlefield maps do not support a full Russian capture of the city. I assess what this episode says about propaganda, command vulnerability, and Ukraine’s unmanned systems forces.

I also cover Ukraine’s reported strike on an Su-24 at Saki airfield in occupied Crimea, the reported shutdown of the Kirishi refinery and reduced output at other major diesel facilities, and damage to a warehouse beside Taganrog’s Atlant Aero drone producer. On the ground, I review Operation Vivaldi north of Lyman, where Ukraine’s Third Army Corps reports clearing 75 square kilometers and pressuring a Russian salient.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

Russia keeps getting partial relief: softer enforcement in some areas, continued global demand for commodities, workarounds through third countries, and even geopolitical moments that buy Moscow breathing room. But despite all of it, the broader economy still looks strained. Inflation pressures remain, labor shortages are growing, interest rates are high, industrial inefficiencies are mounting, and wartime spending is distorting the entire system. The Kremlin can still stabilize parts of the economy temporarily, but stabilization is not recovery. This video breaks down why Russia keeps catching breaks yet still cannot seem to convert them into sustainable economic momentum—and why that matters for the long-term trajectory of the war and the Russian state itself.

Senator Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly at 71—just after returning from Kyiv. His final work included advancing sweeping sanctions against Russia and strengthening U.S.-Ukrainian drone cooperation. Ukraine has lost more than a supporter: it has lost a powerful Republican advocate with direct influence inside the Trump administration.

Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign is no longer occasional harassment. Russia is now facing repeated overnight strikes on refineries, logistics routes, military infrastructure, and occupied territory — while Ukraine simultaneously adapts faster on the battlefield. Tonight’s developments reveal not just damage inside Russia, but a deeper problem: Ukraine is innovating faster than Russia can respond.

#UKRAINE #UKRAINERUSSIAWAR #UKRAINEWAR

For nearly four years, Greg Terry and I have worked together to help Ukrainians affected by Russia’s full-scale invasion. What began with a simple effort to get medical supplies into Ukraine grew into support for humanitarian needs, armored ambulances and vehicles, reconnaissance drones, and Ukrainian defenders.

Now we are launching something new: Ukraine Support Bridge.

The idea is simple. Ukraine Support Bridge does not collect your donations. It provides one trusted place where you can see verified needs, follow the progress, and give directly to the organizations and people responsible for each project. The money does not pass through Greg or me. Each donation link takes you directly to the appropriate destination.

Our first three projects represent three different groups profoundly affected by this war.

The first is Sava, a deaf Ukrainian boy whose mother serves in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Sava needs cochlear implant surgery that could allow him to hear. The goal is $31,000, with donations going directly through our Ukrainian and American charitable partners.

The second is M, a Ukrainian teenager who fled Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. She earned a full-tuition refugee scholarship to attend college in the United States, but that scholarship does not cover room and board. Her remaining need is approximately $12,000 for this year. Because her U.S. immigration paperwork remains in process, we are protecting her identity publicly. I know M and her adopted family personally, and I am personally vouching for this fundraiser.

The third is Project Constantine, which is helping equip Ukrainian frontline brigades with vehicles, communications equipment, power systems, optics, night vision, and other critical equipment. Donations through Ukraine Support Bridge go directly to Project Constantine.

These needs can look enormous when we see the total. But they become much more achievable when thousands of us participate. As Greg points out in this video, even a $219,000 combined need represents 8,760 people giving $25.

You do not have to support every project. Look at the stories. Look at the needs. Decide which one speaks to you.

Help a Ukrainian child hear.

Help a young Ukrainian refugee continue her education.

Help Ukrainian soldiers defending their country.

That is what Ukraine Support Bridge is designed to do: see the need, track the progress, and connect your generosity directly with verified support for Ukraine.

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 night's most significant developments, Ukrainian forces reportedly struck two Tu-142 strategic bombers and destroyed an Iskander launcher. Meanwhile, Russia launched nearly 300 drones and missiles against Ukraine, but Ukrainian air defenses intercepted more than 95% of incoming threats. On the battlefield, Russian forces suffered approximately 1,430 personnel losses, 70 artillery systems destroyed, and a record-setting 483 vehicles and fuel tankers eliminated in a single day, all while failing to achieve confirmed territorial gains. The fighting reached 291 combat engagements, among the highest levels seen in recent months, suggesting Russia's offensive pressure remains intense but increasingly costly. The night also highlighted Ukraine's resilience as damaged infrastructure and businesses resumed operations only days after Russian strikes.
