A haunting firsthand account from Cape Fiolent describes late-summer Crimea as almost deserted—silent streets, parked cars, burning land, incoming drones, and residents seemingly detached from the war unfolding around them. Greg examines why this reported “ghost town” atmosphere may be one of the clearest signs yet of how Ukraine’s campaign is changing daily life across occupied Crimea.
The update also covers Russian attacks on Sloviansk, Odesa, Kyiv, and Ukrainian civilian and logistics infrastructure. Meanwhile, a report attributed to The Economist claims Vladimir Putin fears that failure in Ukraine could threaten his own survival—and may be preparing to send hundreds of thousands more Russians into the war.
Greg connects that report with warnings from Ukraine’s defense leadership, Russia’s still-active 2022 mobilization decree, and Putin’s latest increase in Federal Protective Service personnel. Together, these developments raise a critical question: Is mounting pressure in Crimea and inside the Kremlin pushing Putin toward an even more dangerous escalation?

The Kremlin has now publicly responded after the CIA director’s trip to Moscow—and Dmitry Peskov’s message was unmistakable: Russia says its offensive continues, negotiations over Ukraine are “deeply on pause,” and Moscow claims the battlefield remains in its favor.
We examine Peskov’s statements, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski’s warning that NATO should accelerate its defense preparations, and Alexander Lukashenko’s striking comments about a “common problem” in southern Belarus and southwestern Russia ahead of his meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine is also continuing its long-range campaign against Russian military and energy infrastructure. Satellite imagery discussed in the video shows damage to a Tu-95 bomber at Engels-2 airbase, while strikes on Russian oil infrastructure continue. At the same time, Russia is heavily targeting Ukrainian commercial and logistics infrastructure, including Nova Poshta sorting centers and Epicentr locations.
We also break down Kyrylo Budanov’s latest assessment of the war and new Ukrainian information about Russia’s Geran-4 and Geran-5 jet-powered drones—including reported production approaching 3,000 drones per month and a confirmed flight of roughly 960 kilometers from Crimea toward northwestern Ukraine.

Russia’s hybrid warfare against Europe may be entering a far more dangerous phase. In this conversation, Prof and Greg Terry examine sabotage, cyber operations, GPS interference, drones, suspected attacks beyond Ukraine, and the growing risk that Moscow could eventually miscalculate its way into a direct confrontation with NATO.
The discussion focuses on why Vladimir Putin may believe the West still lacks the willingness to respond decisively. Greg draws on more than three decades of experience working in Russia and the region to explain the Kremlin mindset, while the conversation turns to Germany, Poland, the Baltic states, Moldova, Transnistria, Odessa, and the possibility that Russia is deliberately testing the limits of NATO’s tolerance.
They also examine signs surrounding possible Russian mobilization, Moscow’s wartime economy, NATO air-defense shortages, Donald Tusk’s increasingly forceful posture toward Russia, and the danger that one hybrid operation causing significant European casualties could trigger political pressure for a much stronger response.
The central warning is simple: Russia may view Western restraint not as de-escalation, but as permission to keep pushing. Ukraine understands the Kremlin because it has been fighting this war for years. The question is whether Europe and the United States will recognize the danger before a calculated gamble becomes something no one can control.

After the Trump-Putin call and a full day of statements from Moscow, NATO, Germany, Ukraine, and the United States, the direction of this war is becoming harder to ignore: serious officials are now openly preparing for a conflict that could continue for months—and potentially years.
In this update, I break down Yuri Ushakov’s account of the Trump-Putin conversation, Dmitry Peskov’s insistence that Russia still intends to achieve the goals of its so-called “special military operation,” and Moscow’s apparent belief that winter pressure could weaken Ukraine. At the same time, Britain and Germany are moving additional air-defense support toward Ukraine as Russia intensifies attacks on critical infrastructure.
Germany’s Boris Pistorius warns that Russian air raids could increase as temperatures fall. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte calls on allies to dig deeper, while U.S. Undersecretary Elbridge Colby delivers one of the clearest statements of the day: the West must be prepared for a protracted conflict and for Ukraine’s requirements to continue for months and years ahead.
We also look at Ukraine’s battlefield situation, the growing importance of drones, and the wider strategic pressure on global air-defense supplies as Iran launches another major missile barrage in the Middle East.

A secret Ukrainian counter-attack near Lyman has trapped up to 4,000 Russian troops in a massive encirclement.
Former intelligence planner Philip Ingram examines how Ukraine's 3rd Army Corps kept a two-month operation under total operational security, catching elements of Moscow's 144th Motor Rifle Division in a trap.
Meanwhile, long-range Ukrainian drones continue to cripple Russia's logistics, hit industrial targets in Belgorod, and wipe out irreplaceable Tu-95 strategic bombers deep inside Russian airspace.

Putin believes Russia is winning a global war against the West, even as Moscow resorts to arming disabled citizens and bank staff to defend its own skies.
@JasonJaySmart breaks down how the Kremlin is attempting to hide its severe 200-soldier-a-day manpower deficit as casualty rates skyrocket.
From drone incursions testing NATO airspace to indoctrinated schoolgirls training with assault rifles, Russia’s strategy relies on escalating hybrid warfare to exhaust Western political patience.
Meanwhile, pro-Kremlin commentators are beginning to publicly admit defeat on the front lines as economic desperation forces Moscow to beg Beijing for financial lifelines.

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.

Ukrainian forces have delivered a major operational blow to Russian plans in the Donbas.
Codenamed Operation Vivaldi, Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade—led by Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky—cleared 75 square kilometres of territory north of Lyman, completely disrupting Vladimir Putin’s northern pincer movement aimed at encircling the fortress cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
In this video From The Newsroom, military expert Philip Ingram breaks down raw combat footage from the assault.
From house-to-house room clearing and dense forest trench combat to drone reconnaissance and frontline casualty evacuation, we take an in-depth look at the tactics, command and control, and logistics that made Operation Vivaldi a tactical game-changer.

A Ukrainian journalist got the chance to ask President Donald Trump three direct questions while President Zelenskyy and senior U.S. officials were sitting in the room: What happens with the Lindsey Graham sanctions bill? Will Trump press China? And will the United States move forward on possible Patriot missile production in Ukraine?
Trump said the sanctions legislation is being studied, indicated China would likely come up in discussions, and said talks about Patriot production were continuing. The timing matters because Dmitry Peskov responded the following morning with Moscow’s own message on Ukraine, negotiations, and the possibility of future U.S.-Russia meetings.
In this update, I walk through those exchanges in sequence and examine how the answers from Washington were followed by the Kremlin’s public position. Peskov accused Ukraine and Europe of moving away from peace negotiations, said Putin and Trump remain open to another meeting if necessary, and repeated Moscow’s position that Zelenskyy could come to Moscow for talks.

I examine two election results that could sharpen the strategic pressure on Ukraine: AfD’s 38.3% result in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where Friedrich Merz’s CDU fell below the 5% parliamentary threshold, and United Russia’s new constitutional majority in the Duma. AfD leaders have said they would end support for Ukraine, restore relations with Moscow, and resume Russian gas purchases—making Germany’s political instability a major test for European cohesion.
I also look at Ukraine’s effort to build fuel storage in Hungary amid fears of winter strikes, plus the claimed 416 km/h Zorylet V5 interceptor drone. On the Russian side, I assess plans to expand carbon-fiber capacity that could support 28,000 additional Shahed-136-type airframes annually, alongside reported Dan-T missile production targets. The central question is whether Europe can sustain support for Ukraine while Russia further consolidates political power and military-industrial capacity.

President Zelensky and Ukrainian military experts set the record straight on critical Patriot interceptor shortages, Russian Iskander strike realities, and Western political pressure. Here is the unfiltered geopolitical reality facing Ukraine’s air defense
In this episode of The Greg Terry Experience, we analyze direct statements from President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko on CNN, and military expert Serhiy "Flash"
What we cover in this update:
- Patriot Interceptor Deficit: President Zelensky confirms Ukraine has received 3x fewer anti-ballistic missiles in 2026, citing Middle East combat operations and potential political pressure from Western partners
- Targeting Russian Launchers: Oleksiy Goncharenko's CNN appearance addressing unused allied stockpiles and the urgent need to strike missile launchers inside Russian territory
- The Iskander Truth: Serhiy Flash breaks down why mobile Iskander/S-400 systems and underground manufacturing plants make targeting far more complex than standard surface facilities
- European Defense Logistics: Fact-based breakdown of Patriot operators (Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Romania) vs. SAMP/T systems (France, Italy), and Joint Pact II/III production timelines starting September 2026

I break down President Trump’s UN General Assembly remarks and his public meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky in New York. Trump said Congress had provided him with new tariff authorities associated with Senator Lindsey Graham, but framed their use as conditional. When asked whether Ukraine could regain all occupied territory, he declined to define a settlement, saying only that the sides would make a deal.
I also examine the strategic tension in Trump’s response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and fuel infrastructure: he acknowledged a serious hit on Russia while warning about higher diesel prices. Zelensky pressed the urgency of ending the war before winter, while his discussions with Emmanuel Macron included additional SAMP/T systems, interceptor production, and the Freya missile-defense project. Finally, I assess Trump’s evasive response to Zelensky’s proposed Miami G20 meeting with Putin and the tentative discussion of Patriot missile production in Ukraine.

@WesODonnellX breaks down Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi and how airborne drones dropped killer ground robots behind enemy lines.
Ukraine is now dropping exploding killer ground robots out of bomber drones more than six miles behind Russian lines.
Apparently, giving drones their own explosives wasn't enough. Now the drones are delivering other drones, and these little robots are being sent into Russian rear areas specifically to attack positions and interfere with logistics.
The operation has a suitably dramatic name: Vivaldi. Ukraine's Third Army Corps says the offensive has already brought 125 square kilometers back under Ukrainian control, including 50 square kilometers recovered from Russian occupation.
And the strangest part may actually be what these machines are doing when they aren't blowing things up, because according to Ukrainian commanders, ground robots cleared 30 kilometers of mined routes in just two nights, without losing a single sapper.
So how exactly did Ukraine begin airlifting killer robots behind Russian lines, and could this change the way armies conduct offensive operations?

#russia #ukraine #war
On September 25, I examine reports of a large Ukrainian long-range drone operation across Russia, including fires at Lukoil’s Perm oil refinery—some 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine—and strikes on the Iskra electronics plant in Ulyanovsk. Iskra is reportedly tied to semiconductor components for Kh-59 missiles, Pantsir air defenses, radar, and communications equipment. Reported targets also included the Novoshakhtinsk refinery, a synthetic-rubber facility in Voronezh, a logistics site in occupied Luhansk, and two radar stations in Rostov.
I compare this dispersed strike pattern with Russia’s overnight drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, including the deadly strike on a Kyiv residential high-rise and reported casualties in Kharkiv Oblast. I also assess airport disruptions, air-defense pressure, the earlier Kuibyshev refinery damage, and Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian logistics on the Zaporizhzhia front. The strategic issue is whether repeated, clustered drone raids can impose sustained costs on Russia’s oil, defense-industrial, and logistics networks.

I will show you AMAZING context today.
First, I examine Ukraine’s reported September 26 strike on the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant in Russia’s Rostov region, a facility reportedly linked to components for at least seven Russian missile programs and described as the sole supplier of two essential Kh-101 components. The confirmed strike’s real damage and effect on missile output remain unverified, but it raises a consequential question: can targeted attacks create production bottlenecks in Russia’s long-range strike arsenal? I also assess claims that 14 Russian refineries are offline, nine are operating at reduced capacity, and 97 refinery strikes have occurred this year.
I then turn to Russia’s 170-drone attack, Ukraine’s reported decline in drone interception rates from 86–90% earlier in the year to roughly 70%, and the challenge posed by jet-powered Geran drones. Finally, I look at Ukraine’s tactical shift against Russian reinforcements, the proposed Army of Robots, NC-13 kamikaze ground vehicles used in Operation Vivaldi, and the UN debate over mandatory human control of autonomous weapons.

#ukraine #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainewar
HUGE day for Ukraine.
I examine an extraordinary day of reported Ukrainian operations: strikes on four oil depots in Krasnodar Krai, defense plants in Tula and Voronezh, and Russian drone, radar, electronic-warfare, air-defense, and maritime assets. Ukraine says seven refineries were hit over the preceding week at ranges of up to 1,600 kilometers behind the front. I assess why sustained pressure on fuel distribution, air defense, and drone infrastructure could impose costs well beyond any single strike.
I also break down Operation Vivaldi near Liman, where Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps says it captured more than 250 Russian personnel after trapping forces west of the Zherebets River. Ukrainian reporting listed 2,090 Russian casualties for the day, alongside major equipment losses, while Russian attacks killed civilians and damaged sites across multiple Ukrainian regions. The strategic issue is whether deep strikes and battlefield deception can translate into lasting operational leverage.

Russia’s Reported $20M Bounty on Magyar Brovdi: Why Ukraine’s Delta Network Matters
Delta Battlefield System: Why Russia Reportedly Put $20M on Magyar Brovdi
Magyar Birds and Delta: Ukraine’s Drone Ecosystem Challenges Russia’s Winter Strategy
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces: The Leadership Lesson Behind Russia’s Reported Bounty
Can Patriot Interceptors and Delta Help Ukraine Withstand Russia’s Winter Pressure?
I examine reports that Russia has offered a $20 million bounty for information on Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, and why he has become such a high-value target. Drawing on Wall Street Journal reporting, I focus on the operational system behind Magyar Birds: Ukraine’s Delta battlefield-management network, which links drone crews, sensors, strike platforms, map-based target alerts, and post-mission data.
The larger lesson is not simply that drones matter. It is that cheap, rapidly adaptable systems can gain power when paired with decentralized decisions and fast feedback. I also assess Russia’s reported winter strategy of long-range missile and drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure; Kyiv’s stated resilience preparations and interceptor shortfalls; Kaja Kallas’s call for European states to transfer Patriot interceptors; and the political pressures in Germany and France that Moscow may hope will erode support for Ukraine.
