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.

Chapters:
0:00 Fedorov’s surprising new move

2:19 Why the timing looks political

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.

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.

Russia just keeps sending guys forward

Check out our ongoing fundraisers below!
https://artwine.com/
https://ukraineaidops.org/blog....s/fundraising-campai

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.

NATO jets just shot down what were likely Russian drones in Romanian airspace. Ukraine carried out their largest ever drone attack on St. Petersburg with a major refinery going up in flames. And Ukraine released new footage dispelling Russian claims of advances in the south, “Russian troops continue to die for a picture for propaganda.”

Looks like the war in Ukraine is moving underground. A Ukrainian unit today released this footage showing offensive operations in a tunnel where they say they ambushed Russian soldiers, some who had been living underground for weeks, even months.

We’ve seen these maneuvers before from the Russian side but this marks the first publicly known Ukrainian underground advance, and it looks like they’re just getting started.

Crazy they keep walking that same path

Ukraine Aid Ops campaign: https://ukraineaidops.org/blog....s/fundraising-campai
ArtWine campaign: https://artwine.com/

This is a Russian soldiers view of the approaches to Dobropillia. Not usually something the Kremlin likes to have released, because there are bodies of Russian soldiers everywhere. We saw this same view from above a few days ago as Azov showed how one after another, Russian soldiers kept trying and failing to take the same deadly route.
This is one of the most deadly sections of the front and Russia is forced to advance there because their offensive further north was snubbed out during Operation Vivaldi. Which hopefully works in Ukraine’s favor as the newest round of peace talks look to begin.

https://www.youtube.com/@UCZqVYM3Rbd1a8DnKcqEdUEA

Overnight a Ukrainian missile strike destroyed four Su-34 fighter bombers at an airfield 370km from the front. Marking one of the largest losses of Russian aircraft in a single mission in over a year. Even better, these were loaded up with bombs ready to launch into Ukraine.

We also have the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps announcing the completion of phase four of Operation Vivaldi, their counteroffensive in the east. Saying they’ve now liberated nearly 300km of territory and eliminated 8,000 Russian soldiers.

Russian mobilization hasn't ever stopped

Check out our fall fundraiser with Car4Ukraine here: https://car4ukraine.com/campai....gns/preston-stewart-

There’s a lot of speculation that Putin will order a mobilization in the coming months to backfill troop losses in Ukraine. But here’s the thing, it’s already happening and has been for some time.
The challenge Putin faces right now is that they’re running out of people they would prefer to send to war, the undesirables, and they’re stuck having to explain why they need so many more soldiers while telling the population that they’re winning the war and advancing on all fronts.

The race is on to see who adapts faster

So Russian logistics continue to burn across the occupied territories, but, as expected, the Russian military is learning and adapting. In fact, Russian milblogger Military Informant just said, “There is progress, provided that the enemy does not sharply increase its attacks.” So today we're looking at the four ways Russia is trying to mitigate the impact of the Ukrainian middle strike campaign: stopping traffic, mobile counter drone teams, jamming Starlink and passive measures.

All Russian targets are vulnerable

Ukraine just carried out significant strikes in the St. Petersburg area on the opening day of the International Economic Forum. An oil refinery was hit, giving quite the show to the guests traveling in from around the world and then a corvette was struck in the same area. These targets are 1,000 km inside of Russian territory and their getting hit highlights the challenge that Russia is experiencing in defending all of their territory from Ukrainian drones.

This problem affects everything

Check out our fundraiser to support these soldiers in the south: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front

So there’s a major issue in southern Ukraine. The soldiers don’t have enough fuel. Now they’re not completely out but right on that line. Some units have so little that troops are having to stay in position for months on end. That’s a problem.

This affects everything from combat operations to training, logistics to medical evacuation.

So to help break down what’s happening with this, we’re joined today by Rachel Jamison of Protect a Volunteer.

Wonder what phase two will look like?

Last day of our merch collab with Dzyga's Paw! https://prestonstew.shop/collections/dzygas-paw

Ukraine just announced the first phase of a counteroffensive in the east
GEN Biletsky Commander of the 3rd Army Corps “Good news is coming, but for now, our actions require silence. The Russians have acknowledged these advances with one milblogger warning that these forces aren’t just scared conscripts, but battle-hardened mechanized units who are back to their favorite activity – killing Russians.

Russia wanted this to go differently

Trump likes winners. And Ukraine, recently, has started winning. That was a NATO official explaining why we saw some pretty significant changes from the US at the summit this past week and honestly, it went way better than I thought it would.

Bottom line: good news for the United States, good news for NATO and good news for Ukraine.

This situation is changing fast, I don't think it's resolved quite yet

In a shocking move, the popular, but more importantly, highly successful Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov was removed from his post yesterday. This prompted pretty significant pushback and today we’re seeing Ukrainians take to the streets to protest this surprising move.
Today we’re joined by Kateryna Lisunova to discuss what happened and what this means.

Kateryna is a journalist at Razom for Ukraine who has the contacts and background to understand what exactly is playing out here.

I was out for like three days and Ukraine just about shut off the Sea of Azov. I mean this looked like a turkey shoot. Fuel tankers trying to reach the besieged Crimean peninsula were easy targets and in four days, 35 ships were hit.

The US is lining up on the wrong side of this

Ukraine Aid Ops campaign: https://ukraineaidops.org/blog....s/fundraising-campai
ArtWine campaign: https://artwine.com/

Over the past few days we’ve seen the United States make a series of decisions that I personally believe amount to strategic blunders and moral failures that will only serve to prolong and maybe expand this war.
We’re making things worse, not better.
