  Daily Updates on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

  Russia had a Bad (OR VERY BAD) Night

  Aug 15, 202617 min

  Ukraine launched one of the largest overnight strike packages we have seen in some time, with roughly 480 drones reported heading into Russia and occupied Ukraine. But the biggest story may be the Flamingo cruise-missile strike on the Progress Rocket and Space Center in Samara, Russia’s sole facility for serial assembly of Soyuz-2 launch vehicles and a facility connected to Moscow’s attempt to develop its own satellite capability after Russian forces lost unauthorized access to Starlink. Ukraine also targeted Savasleyka Air Base, home to MiG-31K aircraft capable of launching Kinzhal missiles. In this update, I break down what was hit, why these targets matter, what we know about the damage, the extraordinary Russian effort to intercept the Flamingos, and what the attacks tell us about Ukraine’s expanding deep-strike strategy.

  Daily Updates on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

  Wow: Putin Is Building a Gulag Economy

  Aug 14, 202617 min

  Russia may have just crossed a line that matters far more than another bad economic statistic. One of Russia’s best-known exiled economists says Putin is moving the country toward a harsh command economy—and the evidence is showing up in two places at once. The remaining anti-war political opposition is being pushed off the ballot, while Russia’s federal prison system is preparing to connect inmates directly with business and industrial production. That is the connection we need to understand tonight. Because authoritarian politics and economic control are not two separate Putin stories anymore. They are becoming one system. And if Igor Lipsits is right, Russia is moving toward something that looks less like a modern market economy and increasingly like a Gulag economy. 0:00 Russia May Have Crossed a Line 0:54 The Economist Putin Turned Into an Enemy 2:13 “Russia Is Going Down the Path of North Korea” 2:30 Why Removing Yabloko Matters 3:21 Russia’s Command-Economy Turning Point 4:21 Everything Is Now “For the War” 4:58 The Return of Prison Labor 6:11 Why Putin Couldn’t Risk an Anti-War Vote 7:51 What Russia’s FSIN Actually Does 8:38 Prisoners Become an Economic Labor Pool 9:58 Putin’s Authoritarian System Takes Shape 13:35 Putin Is All In 13:46 The Economic Trap Putin Is Creating 15:05 How You Can Help Ukraine #Putin #Russia #RussianEconomy #Ukraine #UkraineWar #PrisonLabor #Gulag #CommandEconomy #Yabloko #FSIN #RussianPolitics #PutinRussia #WarEconomy #RussiaUkraine #ProfessorGerdes Facts over noise.

  Daily Updates on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

  Russia Just Revealed the Next Phase of the War

  Aug 14, 202622 min

  Russia is sending an increasingly clear message about where the war goes from here. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says Moscow will not stop at the current line of contact and says Russia intends to use “much harsher” methods against the support sustaining Ukraine’s military. Meanwhile, Russia has rejected proposals to halt certain strikes and is openly signaling continued pressure against Ukraine. The timing matters. UN monitors verified 437 Ukrainian civilians killed in July—the deadliest month since May 2022—while Russia launched 429 missiles, more than twice June’s total. Ukraine is responding by rapidly developing new defenses, including jet-powered interceptor drones capable of speeds above 600 km/h. In this video, I break down Lavrov’s statements, Russia’s escalating strike campaign, Ukraine’s response, pressure on Europe and NATO, Russian hybrid operations, and the larger question: what would actually have to happen before Moscow became serious about negotiating? Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points. Principle over partisanship.

  Daily Updates on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

  Russians Wanted the War—Until Ukraine Brought It Home

  Aug 13, 202619 min

  In this video, I look at something potentially important happening inside Russia: not simply battlefield losses, but a change in the way Russians themselves are talking about the war. Residents of Novorossiysk describe an unprecedented night of attacks and fear. One Russian woman openly asks what the point of the war is and says people are reaching the breaking point. Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov says the constituency that strongly favors continuing the war has shrunk dramatically and that many Russians now simply want a ceasefire. Then Russian military commentator Maxim Kalashnikov goes much further—questioning Russia’s strikes on Ukrainian civilian targets, calling the “special military operation” a war, describing it as a fiasco, and warning that Russia itself could face a severe systemic crisis. And then there is Dmitry Medvedev, insisting that Russians who oppose the war simply have “problems with their brains.” The contrast is striking. The Kremlin is still selling the old message while more Russians—including some traditionally patriotic voices—are beginning to ask a very different question: what exactly has this war accomplished? 0:00 Russia’s tone is changing 0:25 Novorossiysk brings the war home 2:47 Russians begin questioning the war 4:41 Muratov: Russians increasingly want a ceasefire 6:16 Russian military commentator turns on the strategy 9:12 Why Russia’s war has reached a dead end 11:25 Medvedev attacks young Russians who oppose the war 13:40 What this shift inside Russia means 14:01 Three ways to directly help Ukrainians 17:07 One final Black Sea message Facts over noise.
