Sergey Lavrov used the United Nations podium in New York to launch a sweeping attack on the United States, Europe, NATO, and Ukraine—while defending Russia’s war as being fully consistent with the UN Charter.

In this episode, I break down Lavrov’s speech in context: his accusations against the United States over Venezuela and Iran, his claims that the West is destabilizing the world, his attack on Germany and Europe, and his extraordinary allegations about Ukraine, Nazism, language rights, and Western military support.

Most importantly, we examine Russia’s central justification for its invasion of Ukraine and Lavrov’s insistence that Moscow will continue its fight “regardless of any circumstances.” I also explain why his final argument about one country’s security coming at the expense of another cuts directly into Russia’s own justification for creating security and buffer zones inside Ukraine.

Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign came directly to Moscow on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections, with the Moscow oil refinery hit amid a massive wave of Ukrainian drones and missiles. Greg breaks down what the strike pattern reveals about Ukraine’s growing ability to saturate heavily defended Russian airspace, why he believes Moscow’s unusually limited public response matters, and what the attacks could mean for Russia’s fuel and military logistics.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says Ukraine has destroyed an estimated 30% to 40% of Russia’s refining capacity—even without the ability to operate its air force over Russian territory. Greg examines that assessment, Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capabilities, Russia’s election-day response, and the growing economic pressure created by repeated attacks on Russian refineries.

Also covered: President Zelenskyy’s call with President Trump and their planned meeting in New York, Axios reporting that Trump again pressed Zelenskyy over strikes on Russian oil refineries, warnings of possible major Russian attacks on Ukraine, and Ukrainian efforts to prevent panic as Russia continues targeting fuel and logistics infrastructure.

In this video, we will analyze how false Russian claims ended in the biggest disaster of the year.

Here, Russia is claiming the city of Kostiantynivka has been captured, and the Ukrainian defense has been overrun. However, piles of Russian bodies and Russians begging Ukraine for a ceasefire suggest something else is happening, as Ukraine found a devastating way to answer Russian claims.

High-ranking Russian officials claimed up to ninety-six percent of Kostiantynivka is under Russian control, presenting staged flag-raising videos in the northern districts as proof that Ukrainian units holding the area have collapsed. Yet Ukrainian footage shows something completely different, as geolocated videos demonstrate Ukrainian troops operating across northern, central, and southern parts of the city, while active fighting continues throughout the town. Still, official Russian sources continue to insist that only isolated Ukrainian holdouts remain in basements and peripheral districts, with their clearance being only a matter of time. Despite these claims, even Russian military analysts now compare the announcement about Kostiantynivka capture to the fake capture claim of Kupiansk in November of last year. These doubts are confirmed by Russia’s own artillery footage showing active shelling of Ukrainian positions in areas that the Russian military claims is under full Russian control.

This goes further than just the public backlash from their own side, as in response to the Russian claims, Ukrainians massively intensified their shelling of Russian positions as punishment. Geolocated footage shows a Ukrainian Mig Twenty-nine is destroying a building used as a Russian drone base, while a Ukrainian Mirage Two-thousand struck a substation where Russian infantry was massing for further assaults. Ukrainian artillery has been continuously buildings used as infiltration hideouts, while heavy bomber drones, FPV, and reconnaissance drones monitor every approach and attack every movement.

As a result, Russia’s premature victory claim has made the disaster worse, as the Russian command was forced to sending new infiltrators forward in large numbers. Just like what happened around Kupiansk, Russian commanders now face immense pressure to make reality match their false symbolic claims, as soldiers are sent forward to hold on to the claim that the city is under Russian control. Instead, Ukrainian drones, artillery, and aircraft hunt them while they move between ruins, attempt to reinforce positions, or wait for orders.

The clearest evidence about how things really are on the ground comes from the Russians themselves, as footage filmed by a Russian assault soldier shows him moving along what has effectively become a path of death. Dozens of Russian bodies lie within meters of each other, piled along both sides of the route into Kostiantynivka. The approaches and the streets are becoming a graveyard in which the infiltrating Russians have nowhere to hide from the Ukrainian drone strikes.

The losses have become so severe that the Russian Defense Ministry has now begged Ukraine to halt its shelling of the city. Russians claim they want to stop Ukrainians shooting, so that they can supposedly evacuate civilians and recover bodies. However, the real reason is that a ceasefire would silence precisely the Ukrainian strike-and-search system that prevents Russia from gaining control of Kostiantynivka. The humanitarian pretext is an excuse to indirectly beg Ukrainians to stop shooting at their overwhelmed soldiers, as such significant losses are causing footholds to slip out of their control.

This is particularly distrustful, as Russia did not demand a ceasefire while its bombs and drones were destroying Kostiantynivka as the siege began. It was Ukraine that conducted the civilian evacuations, dedicating sparse armored vehicles under great risk to move residents out of the town. It was Ukrainian soldiers who had to clear Russian drones laying in ambush on the evacuation roads out of Kostiantynivka, while Russian operators attacked any movement regardless of whether vehicles carried soldiers or civilians. Only when Russian bodies began piling up did their commanders begin begging Ukraine for a pause to the fighting.

Overall, the Russian capture claim serves a political purpose, strengthening Russia’s position before the world audience. But the Russian command has repeatedly shown that after announcing imaginary victories, it will sacrifice thousands of soldiers trying to make them real, and Kostiantynivka is becoming the next example. Russia declared victory, intensified infiltrations, and watched its troops die faster, then effectively started asking Ukraine to stop firing long enough for them to advance...

Ukraine’s deep-strike campaign continues at a punishing pace. The Ilsky and Syzran refineries were reportedly struck, additional Russian shadow-fleet vessels were targeted, and one Ukrainian drone was filmed evading three Russian air-defense missiles.

Yet the information environment has shifted toward pessimism—even as Russia’s territorial advances remain limited and its losses continue. Professor Gerdes examines the widening gap between what is happening militarily and how the war now feels psychologically. He also covers Russia’s deadly ballistic-missile attacks, Ukraine’s air-defense shortage, the battle for Kostiantynivka and Slovyansk, and the strategy of destroying Russian missiles before they can launch.

Recently, a Ukrainian raid proved far more successful than simply winning ground, setting a domino effect in motion that beheaded a crucial section of the Russian frontline and left several gaps wide open. It all began when Ukrainian operators attacked and cleared a Russian strongpoint in the forest of the Li-man direction. Ukrainian soldiers can be seen wearing ghillie suits to blend into the forest, helping them avoid detection by Russian soldiers and reconnaissance drones simultaneously while they are moving forward. Modern ghillie suits are also tailored to dampen heat signature, which further reduces the possibility of being detected by thermal drones. After stealthily moving through thick vegetation, the Ukrainian soldiers reached the Russian strongpoint, as the poor trash discipline evident from the visible empty cans they left all over the position had revealed the Russian presence. As the Ukrainian operators pushed deeper, they quickly came into contact with two Russian soldiers in the next dugout. After a fierce firefight broke out, the Ukrainians killed the Russian infiltrators and pushed deeper to fully clear the position. Ukrainians took off jackets and gear so they could go through the intelligence from cover, instead of out in the open. They captured documents, maps, and radios that the Russians had on them. This kind of captured intelligence and sensitive equipment is extremely valuable, as Ukrainians use this to tap into Russian communications and listen in on commanders revealing key information.

After tapping into the Russian communications, the Ukrainians were able to track down the commander of Russia’s thirty sixth Motor Rifle Regiment. They followed the exact movements of the commander, mapped out his routine, and patiently waited until he was exposed. The ideal moment to strike came while he was completely vulnerable and exposed on the road, as there is no option to quickly hide or run away, with cars often driving over one hundred kilometers per hour on damaged roads to reduce travel time and minimize exposure to Ukrainian observation. However, this did not save him this time, as a Ukrainian kamikaze drone closed in on the commander's car and hit it over eighty-seven kilometers behind the front line near the settlement of Dmitrivka. As a result of the successful Ukrainian drone strike, the newly appointed regiment commander was heavily wounded, and three of his staff travelling with him sustained injuries as well and were out of commission, effectively beheading the entire Russian regiment with a single drone.

This is crucial because now this Russian regiment has lost its commander and his entire entourage, leaving its command without an immediate replacement. By wounding the commander's second, third, and fourth replacements as well, it will be hard to reinstate the command of the regiment and find other subordinates who can do their duty. This is particularly damaging because Russian command remains highly centralized and junior officers generally have limited freedom to make decisions without approval from higher headquarters, effectively paralyzing the full regiment. That paralysis quickly spreads beyond the headquarters itself because this regiment is currently responsible for advancing through the forests toward Lyman, with multiple assault groups relying on the headquarters to coordinate their movements and direct artillery, drone, and aviation support. Once that command structure is disrupted, communications begin breaking down, assault groups lose coordination, and supporting fires become delayed or unavailable. Because modern frontlines are tightly interconnected, the neighboring units depend on each other to secure their flanks. If one regiment suddenly becomes static because its leadership has been removed, the formations on either side become exposed. They must either divert forces to cover the growing gap or continue advancing while risking encirclement. This creates exactly the opportunity Ukraine is looking for because now, Ukrainian forces can exploit these weak points, maneuver through the emerging gaps, outflank neighboring Russian units, and threaten their rear. In this way, the elimination of a single regiment commander can trigger a chain reaction across the sector, disrupting the Russian offensive and potentially undoing months of hard-fought progress, or at the least massively delaying their efforts.

Overall, this operation demonstrates that Ukraine is increasingly targeting the Russian military's decision-making rather than just its frontline positions. By combining intelligence gathered during a small infantry raid with precision drone strikes, Ukrainian forces can paralyze entire formations at minimal cost...

Something is happening in Europe. Yesterday we had multiple nations warning about the possibility of a Russian escalation creeping into NATO and EU territory.

These warnings aren’t new and one at a time isn’t anything special. But in the last 48 hours we’ve had Poland, France, The Netherlands, Finland, Lithuania and Switzerland issue warnings while the US uncovered a Russian plot to carry out assassinations inside the United States.

Now on the bright side President Trump signed the new Russia sanctions bill into law and the US appears ready to sell the largest batch of weapons to Ukraine in years, more on that later in today’s video.

My name is Denys, and I am Boeing 737 Captain. Before I used to fly ATR 42/72.
