Ukraine’s overnight drone campaign reportedly struck 15 vessels in the Sea of Azov while hammering energy facilities and Russian air defenses across occupied Crimea.

In this July 13 war update, Greg Terry examines Ukraine’s growing long-range strike campaign, including reported attacks on seven tankers, five cargo ships, Crimean infrastructure, S-400 systems, radar stations, and other Russian military targets.

But Russia is escalating too. We examine the emerging FPV drone threat along the critical Kryvyi Rih–Dnipro supply route, the destruction facing Orikhiv, the terrifying reality civilians experienced during the Sumy attack, and Russia’s massive ballistic missile strike on Odesa.

President Zelenskyy is also in France strengthening the Coalition of the Willing as Vladimir Putin promises increasingly powerful retaliation. Reports now warn that Russia may be preparing another large-scale attack involving as many as 1,700 Shahed drones, while Ukraine remains dangerously vulnerable to ballistic missiles.

Plus, a brief look at renewed tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

What happens next could shape Ukraine’s security heading into the fall and winter. Like the video, share your thoughts below, and subscribe for continuing Ukraine war coverage and analysis.

Senator Lindsey Graham has died suddenly after returning from Ukraine—triggering grief, urgent questions, and a flood of speculation that must be separated from confirmed facts.

Greg examines what is known, why calls for a full and transparent investigation are growing, and why Graham’s recent Ukraine visit and push for tougher Russia sanctions are central to the questions now being asked.

The focus then turns to the battlefield: Ukraine reports 90 Russian vessels struck during its expanding Sea of Azov campaign, while Ukrainian lawmaker Roman Kostenko warns that Russia could open a new northern front toward Chernihiv with support from Belarus after Russia’s September elections.

This update also covers Russia’s growing deep-strike threat, deadly glide-bomb attacks in Sumy, Poland’s transfer of only five Patriot interceptors, and severe electricity and water shortages across occupied Crimea.

Ukraine’s maritime campaign has escalated dramatically. Ukrainian drone units reportedly struck 28 Russian vessels overnight, bringing the five-day total to 76. Russia has halted traffic through key Sea of Azov routes as the attacks threaten military fuel deliveries, merchant shipping, port operations, and the vessels sent to recover damaged ships.
