Zelensky's decision to remove Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has evolved from a personnel change into one of the most politically volatile moments Ukraine has faced during the war. What began as an attempt to resolve reported disagreements inside the military has instead sparked nationwide protests, resignations by senior defense figures, growing resistance inside parliament, and uncertainty over whether Zelensky's preferred replacement can even secure enough votes. In this video, we separate confirmed facts from speculation, examine why so many Ukrainians are rallying behind Fedorov, and ask whether this has become Zelensky's first major wartime political miscalculation.

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 Kremlin relies on endless human-wave tactics to sustain the front line, structural logistics failures, command vulnerabilities, and targeted Ukrainian strikes continue to undermine Russia’s long-term war effort.

In this video, former Commanding General of US Army Europe Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges breaks down why Russia's willingness to absorb massive casualties cannot offset the fundamental strategic vulnerabilities of Vladimir Putin's invasion.

#ukraine #russia #putin

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.

Putin’s own words — and the Kremlin’s response today — make one thing clear: Russia is not preparing for peace. It is preparing for escalation.

In this update, Greg breaks down Peskov’s confirmation of Putin’s position, Zelenskyy’s warning that Putin has ordered Donetsk seized by December 31, and the larger Novorossiya objective that would cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea.

We also look at the brutal reality in Konstantinivka, the pressure on Ukraine’s fortress belt, Lukashenko’s sudden meetings with Putin and Xi Jinping, Belarusian threats after Zelenskyy’s warning, signs pointing toward Russian mobilization after September, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments to Russian state media.

This is a serious moment for Ukraine, NATO, Europe, and the United States — because Moscow is saying out loud what it intends to do next.

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.

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.

I examine the reports of a possible pneumonic plague incident linked to a BSL-3 laboratory in Russia’s Irkutsk region, where a laboratory worker reportedly died and nearly 200 people were said to be under observation. Local restrictions, including hospital limits and a mask mandate at the Irkutsk aluminum plant, contrast with official claims that the epidemiological situation is stable. I separate those reported facts from what remains unverified—and explain why Russia’s record of contradictory messaging makes careful sourcing essential.

I also assess Dmitry Medvedev’s threat involving Russia’s Rassvet satellites and Starlink, Ukraine’s race to counter faster jet-powered Shahed-type drones, and the ChaharNik system designed to cut the fiber-optic control cables of FPV drones. Finally, I cover Zelensky’s stated plan to intensify strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, damage in Kyiv, humanitarian concerns in occupied Oleshky, and Germany’s announced military and energy-repair support.

#ukraine #russia #war

Industrial cranes are meant to build cities. In Iran, they are increasingly being used as gallows.

The public hangings of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan have become a chilling symbol of Iran's escalating execution campaign. As the world focuses on war, Tehran is rapidly carrying out death sentences against protesters arrested during January's nationwide uprising.

Former UN prosecutor Professor Payam Akhavan argues these are not lawful executions but arbitrary killings that may amount to crimes against humanity under international law.

"These are killings. They are murders. There is no legal justification whatsoever for these killings." — Professor Payam Akhavan

In this episode of Eye for Iran, we examine why Iran has resumed public hangings, whether those responsible could one day face prosecution, and why Professor Akhavan believes the latest executions form part of a continuing crime against humanity.

We then turn to President Donald Trump's repeated promise to "finish the job" in Iran. What does that mean in practical terms? Admiral Robert Harward (Ret.), former Deputy Commander of US Central Command, and Blaise Misztal, Vice President of Policy at JINSA, discuss Washington's strategic objectives, Iran's nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz and whether regime change has become the ultimate end state.

Finally, Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, and Nicole Grajewski, Assistant Professor at Sciences Po, analyze Ukraine's unprecedented strike on an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea and what it reveals about the growing convergence between the wars in Ukraine and Iran.

• Professor Payam Akhavan — Former UN Prosecutor; Human Rights Chair, Massey College, University of Toronto

Thank You for Standing With Ukraine
https://ukrainesupportbridge.com

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.

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.

A Russian court has removed Yabloko’s federal candidate list from the upcoming State Duma election — striking at the anti-war party campaigning for “peace, freedom, and life without fear.”

In this breaking report from Moscow, we go inside the courtroom for the ruling, examine the accusations used against Yabloko, and watch protesters gather outside chanting in support of the party and against the decision. Then the situation takes an even darker turn: young demonstrators are warned they have only minutes to disperse or risk being taken by bus to military recruitment offices.

What does this tell us about political competition, election control, opposition to the war in Ukraine, and the Kremlin’s mobilization pressure inside Russia?

Watch the evidence and judge for yourself.

President Trump says Vladimir Putin is not looking to attack NATO territory as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner prepare for visits to Moscow and Kyiv. We examine Trump’s latest remarks, why Russian state media is amplifying them, and whether this diplomatic mission represents anything genuinely new.

President Zelenskyy confirms the American delegation is coming and says Ukraine will suspend its own strikes during the necessary travel and negotiation window—while demanding Russia reciprocate. We break down why Zelenskyy’s language matters and what it says about Ukraine’s diplomatic position going into the visit.

We also examine Ukraine’s planned response after Russian strikes, including the attack on the SBU building in Kyiv. Zelenskyy says proposals for a response have been approved and that Ukraine will choose the time of its response. The discussion also looks at claims surrounding how the Shahed attack may have been controlled and why the precision of the strike is drawing attention.

Finally, we share important Ukraine Support Bridge updates: the fundraiser for Saava exceeded its goal, reaching $37,000 toward his hearing-related surgery, and preparations for the cochlear implants are moving forward.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner went to Moscow for more than three hours of talks with Vladimir Putin—and what happened inside the Kremlin raises serious questions about how the Trump administration’s envoys are approaching Russia and the war against Ukraine.

In this update, I break down Witkoff’s extraordinary opening remarks to Putin, including a translation nuance that quickly drew attention in Russian media. I also examine Yuri Ushakov’s account of the closed-door meeting and dinner, where Putin presented the Russian version of the battlefield, repeated Moscow’s demand to address the so-called “root causes” of the war, and pushed propaganda claims about Ukraine.

The talks also went beyond Ukraine. According to the Russian account, the two sides discussed potential large-scale Russian-American economic projects. Witkoff and Kushner then left Moscow for Kyiv, where they are expected to meet Ukrainian leaders and hear directly about the reality of Russia’s war.

The central question now is whether Ukraine can challenge the narrative these American envoys heard in Moscow—and whether their visit to Kyiv changes how they understand Putin’s demands and Russia’s conduct of the war.
