An Iranian man named "Kazem" told Iran International he was forced by IRGC to aid a deadly crackdown in Tehran on Jan. 8-9, 2026, amid protests following a Pahlavi call. He described "hunting leaders" via infiltrators and rooftop snipers targeting protesters, herding crowds into kill zones, with no arrests intended. Bodies, including ~200 children's, were loaded into Mihan ice cream trucks; he witnessed looting of a girl's corpse. Estimates: 1,800+ killed. Claims unverified by authorities; Amnesty/Reuters confirm past sniper use. Families allegedly paid to retrieve bodies.

Garry Kasparov is asking the question NATO still hasn’t answered: if Western forces could help shoot down Iranian missiles headed for Israel, why not Russian missiles headed for Ukraine?

That question comes as Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warns that if Russia reaches a survival-level crisis, Moscow could turn to whatever “last resort” it has available.

Meanwhile, Russia launched major attacks on Odesa and Zhytomyr, damaging energy infrastructure, homes, and a German-owned automotive plant employing roughly 3,500 people. Ukraine answered by destroying a long-targeted Russian S-400 system near Gelendzhik and striking additional Russian air-defense and military targets.

President Zelenskyy says every Russian strike will be answered and that the campaign against Russian oil is becoming increasingly painful for Moscow. Magyar then lays out his five conditions for how this war ultimately ends: Russia must lose the financial, military, logistical, manpower, and political capacity to continue.

Where does this escalation lead—and should NATO finally help defend Ukrainian airspace?

Ukraine’s war is moving on several fronts at once. In this update, we go inside Russia to examine footage from Moscow showing a long fuel line on one side of the road and a burning Wildberries warehouse on the other — then use the visible GPS coordinates and street imagery to verify the location.

We then turn to Mykhailo Fedorov’s major interview and his warning about what it may take to force Russia to end this war. Fedorov says Ukraine will have its own ballistic missile and gives a three-to-six-month estimate for when one could strike a target inside Russia. That comes as Ukraine continues debating key government appointments and protesters keep demanding Fedorov’s return.

And in Zaporizhia, we see another brutal reality of civilian life near the front: a minibus fitted with anti-drone cage protection to survive Russian FPV attacks. Shortly before recording, a new image arrived showing that same minibus destroyed. At the time of this video, information about possible injuries had not been confirmed. I also explain why I am holding back a separate FSB blackmail story until the evidence can be fully verified.

Ukraine says 26 populated areas have been liberated and brought back under Ukrainian control in an offensive that largely stayed under the radar. At the same time, Vladimir Putin is widening his threats far beyond Ukraine.

In this update, we go directly to the Ukrainian frontline command briefing with President Zelenskyy, examine where Ukraine is reclaiming territory around the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Dnipro directions, and look at Putin’s new warnings involving Japan, NATO in the Pacific, international shipping and Arctic sea routes.

We also hear from Kalashnikov CEO Alan Lushnikov as Russia’s own defense industry openly talks about an “era of great upheavals.”

Ukraine is pushing forward. Putin’s response is more threats. What does that tell us about where this war is heading?

In a development that reads like a spy thriller, reports are emerging that Brigadier General Esmail Qaani — head of Iran's elite Quds Force and the most senior IRGC commander still standing after Operation Epic Fury — has been arrested and possibly executed on charges of treason. The accusation stems from a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: Qaani was absent from every major strike that killed Iran's top leadership, including the IDF operation that destroyed Khamenei's underground bunker with 50 fighter jets and ended the Supreme Leader's life. Known as "The Man With Nine Lives," Qaani's extraordinary survival record has apparently exhausted Tehran's patience. Meanwhile the war continues to widen — Israel is striking Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut's southern suburbs, Iran has reportedly blown up Bahrain's largest petrol refinery, and the US is actively working to sink what remains of Iran's navy.

Ukraine has launched a growing campaign against Crimea’s critical infrastructure, striking power and water facilities while putting increasing pressure on the peninsula’s energy and logistics networks. The strikes are worsening electricity and water shortages, with residents facing prolonged blackouts, fuel rationing, and growing dependence on generators and alternative power sources.

At the same time, attacks on ferries, the Kerch Strait, and other transport routes are reducing Russia’s ability to move supplies into Crimea, deepening the pressure on the occupied peninsula.The crisis is now spreading into everyday life, with tourism collapsing, businesses struggling, and shortages affecting basic services across Crimea.

As Ukraine continues targeting the infrastructure that keeps Crimea functioning, Russia faces a growing challenge: how long can it sustain the peninsula under constant pressure?

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.

This 4K Ukrainian drone footage from Bakhmut shows how radically drones have changed modern warfare—and the new imagery from Chasiv Yar is devastating.

We take a close look at Ukrainian fiber-optic FPV drones operating around Bakhmut, the extraordinary precision of their operators, and why cheap drones can destroy equipment worth vastly more. We also examine Ukraine’s growing drone scale, including 54,870 drones reportedly knocked down in July and hundreds of fixed-wing drones now being launched nightly.

Then we go inside updated imagery of Bakhmut and Chasiv Yar to see what years of Russia’s war have done to these cities—and why drones may be one of the biggest reasons Ukraine has been able to keep fighting against a much larger enemy.

Watch closely, because this footage reveals a side of the war that maps and headlines simply cannot show.

This is a comprehensive front-line tour of Ukraine with Professor Gerdes, moving from Odesa and Kherson through Zaporizhzhia, the Pokrovsk sector, the Donbas fortress belt, Kupyansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Chernihiv, and the wider strategic picture.

We examine where Ukraine has pushed Russian forces back, why the fight around Kostiantynivka and the fortress belt remains so important, and why Russia’s effort to reach critical supply routes near Dobropillia could shape the next phase of the battle. We also look at the growing danger from FPV drones, glide bombs, ballistic missiles, attacks on bridges, and the systematic destruction facing communities near the front.

Then we zoom out. Russia is increasing pressure on Ukrainian infrastructure and key crossings along the Dnipro while Ukraine continues striking Russian logistics, fuel trucks, bridges, and rear-area infrastructure. We also discuss worsening fuel problems in southern Russia, reconnaissance drone activity over western Ukraine, and the growing Russia-Iran supply connection through the Caspian Sea.

This is the battlefield as it stands on August 19, 2026—not just who controls another village, but the roads, bridges, cities, logistics corridors, infrastructure, and strategic pressure points that could determine what comes next.

A Ukrainian volunteer says the FSB used his own children to pressure him for information—and that he ultimately went to Russia rather than betray people in Ukraine or abandon his son. In this update, I share the now-confirmed story of Mykhailo Puryuchov and the extraordinary appeal he made publicly before placing himself in Russian hands.

We also have major political developments in Kyiv as Khamara and Andrii Sybiha move toward confirmation votes, plus new evidence from the Flamingo strike on Russia’s Progress Rocket Center. The damage could have consequences for Soyuz-2 production and Russia’s effort to deploy its own Starlink-style satellite network.

Russia is also dealing with fuel restrictions across multiple regions, while questions remain over possible Witkoff and Kushner travel to Kyiv or Moscow. And Ukraine is watching another potentially dangerous development: reconnaissance drones over western Ukraine, tactical aviation movements, loaded Kalibr missiles, and other indicators Greg believes could point toward preparations for another large Russian strike.

A captured Russian soldier warns Russians NOT to sign military contracts—then Zelenskyy explains why he believes Putin is preparing a much larger covert mobilization.

Greg breaks down Zelenskyy’s eight key warnings: “shadow” recruitment contracts, possible travel restrictions, pressure on Europe, cyber and missile escalation, Putin’s effort to sell concessions as victory, Ukraine’s refusal to surrender Donbas, growing strain on Russia’s economy, and the Kremlin’s attempt to divide Ukrainian society from within.

And then there’s the captured soldier’s unforgettable comparison of Putin and Medvedev to two pieces of a Twix bar—as he describes how Russian recruits can be promised jobs as drivers or cooks before being sent to fight.

Plus, a serious warning about the possibility of another major ballistic strike against Ukraine.

Russia may be preparing for another major mobilization—and inside Russia, the warning signs are getting harder to ignore.

In this update, we go inside Russia to examine a military enlistment notice received by a 38-year-old Russian, damage at a Wildberries facility in the Tula region, and a growing queue at a Moscow Rosneft gas station. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed Russian preparations for a new mobilization after parliamentary elections, potentially involving several hundred thousand additional Russians.

Then we turn to Ukraine’s next major danger: winter. The Institute for the Study of War and Ukrainian officials are warning that Russia is likely to intensify attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure while Kyiv continues to face shortages of critical air-defense interceptors.

From Russian mobilization to missiles, energy infrastructure, Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and other major Ukrainian cities, the direction of this war is becoming increasingly clear.

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.

One year after Lukashenko predicted Russia would grind through Ukraine’s defenses, Ukraine is still fighting—but its air-defense crisis is becoming critical.

President Zelenskyy is demanding urgent political decisions to secure PAC-2 and PAC-3 Patriot interceptors. Donald Trump says America needs those missiles too, while Fedorov warns that Russia is producing missiles far faster than Ukraine is receiving the weapons needed to stop them.

This update examines the global Patriot shortage, dangerously limited NATO and European stockpiles, Trump’s renewed “not our war” position, and what continued Russian ballistic strikes could mean for Ukraine.

Ukraine appears to have opened a new front in its long-range strike campaign—not by abandoning attacks on oil refineries and the shadow fleet, but by expanding to Russia's logistics backbone.

I explain why repeated strikes on Wildberries distribution centers, oil depots, cargo ships, and military supply routes represent a coherent strategy designed to increase the cost of sustaining Russia's war effort. The discussion also covers the latest battlefield update, the appointment of Mykhailo Drapatyi as Ukraine's new Commander-in-Chief, and continued Ukrainian pressure on Russia's occupied logistics corridors.

Putin just gave a revealing interview — and it showed exactly how deep Russia’s war aims still go.

In this video, Greg Terry breaks down Vladimir Putin’s 25-minute interview with Pavel Zarubin, including Putin’s admission that Ukrainian strikes are creating infrastructure and fuel problems, Crimea’s urgent supply needs, Russia’s scramble to protect energy facilities, and Putin’s continued obsession with “Donbas and Novorossiya.”

Putin also discusses Ukraine’s drone and missile pressure, claims about the front lines near Sumy, Kupyansk, Slovyansk, Kramatorsk, Konstantinivka, Zaporizhia, and Crimea, while dismissing Western support for Ukraine and reacting to Macron, Trump, Rubio, the G7, and the so-called “spirit of Anchorage.”

This is a serious look inside Putin’s own words — and what they reveal about Russia’s intentions, Ukraine’s pressure campaign, and the danger still facing Europe.

If you believe the world needs to hear what Putin is actually saying, like this video, share it, and subscribe for more pro-Ukraine geopolitical analysis.

Russian reporters are asking unusually direct questions: Is Moscow losing track of its own cycle of attacks and responses, how serious are Russia's fuel problems, and why are Iran and North Korea now among the Kremlin's closest allies?

Greg breaks down Dmitry Peskov's answers on Russia's war claims, fuel supplies, and the reported proposal for a Trump-Zelenskyy-Putin meeting. He also examines Sergey Lavrov's defense of Moscow's alliances as Russia portrays NATO and the United States as active opponents.

The update then turns to Serhii "Flash" and his assessment that LTE modems connecting with Belarusian base stations may be helping Shahed drones maintain their routes toward Kyiv. Finally, Ukraine's defense minister argues that Putin will stop only when Russia begins losing through sustained pressure - and warns that the Kremlin's ultimate goal extends far beyond the occupied regions to all of Ukraine.

At least 30 people, including two children, are at risk of execution in Iran following the January 2026 uprising, according to Amnesty International. The rights group says eight individuals were sentenced to death in February after what it describes as fast-tracked and grossly unfair trials, with others facing charges such as “enmity against God”. Amnesty has raised concerns over alleged torture and forced confessions, urging authorities to halt the executions. Amid mounting pressure, exiled prince Reza Pahlavi has called on Shia Muslims to reclaim their faith from political control and unite across sectarian lines against the ruling establishment.
