    Putin’s REVISED Middle-Game Strategy is Clear

    Putin’s short-term strategy is becoming clear: overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses with massive drone swarms, then use ballistic missiles to deliver the most destructive strikes. But this is only the middlegame. Russia cannot sustain these missile barrages indefinitely. Missile production is limited, inventories matter, and Ukraine is racing to strengthen its defenses with Patriot, SAMP/T, and domestically produced systems. At the same time, Ukraine is expanding its ability to strike Russian military production, logistics networks, oil infrastructure, shipping, and other assets supporting the war. Professor Gerdes explains the strategic contest now unfolding: whether Ukraine can survive Russia’s missile campaign long enough to build a stronger defensive shield—and whether Russia can withstand Ukraine’s growing long-range strike capability. #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #Putin #Zelenskyy #Missiles #MilitaryAnalysis #Geopolitics #ProfessorGerdes Facts over noise.

    HOW MANY WILDBERRIES WAREHOUSES WERE HIT LAST NIGHT?

    Ukraine appears to have doubled down on one of its most effective economic strategies, striking more Wildberries warehouses overnight while also hitting oil infrastructure, radars, and additional shadow fleet vessels. Professor Gerdes explains why these attacks matter far beyond the immediate destruction and why they may reveal a deliberate campaign against Russia's logistics and economy. Russia responded with one of its larger combined missile and drone attacks in recent weeks, including a missile that entered Polish airspace before crashing in a field. Meanwhile, new reports suggest 30–40% of Russia's refining capacity has been disrupted, and Ukraine continues receiving significant European financial support. Facts over noise.

    I Never Thought I’d See This Shift on Ukraine

    Something significant appears to be changing in Washington. Following President Zelensky's Oval Office meeting with President Trump, reports indicate that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are preparing to visit Kyiv—the first such visit of its kind. Combined with discussions on Patriot interceptor production, meetings with Lockheed Martin, renewed diplomacy, and growing bipartisan pressure for tougher sanctions on Russia, this could mark an important turning point in U.S.-Ukraine relations. Today, Professor Gerdes examines the evidence, separates confirmed developments from speculation, and explains why Ukraine's battlefield success may be reshaping the political landscape in Washington.

    HUGE NEWS: U.S. Senate Advances Russian Sanctions Bill

    The U.S. Senate voted 86–12 to advance a major sanctions bill targeting Russia and Iran. This was a cloture vote—not final passage—but the overwhelming margin shows just how much support exists in Washington for increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin. I explain how it differs from Lindsey Graham’s original 500% sanctions proposal, why several Democrats voted against it, what happens next in the House and Senate, and whether Congress could override a presidential veto. The bill would impose mandatory sanctions on Russian leaders, oligarchs, defense entities, and others supporting Putin’s war. It would also give President Trump the authority—but not the requirement—to impose tariffs of up to 100% on countries purchasing Russian or Iranian oil. President Zelensky watched the vote from the Senate gallery following meetings with senators, President Trump, and major U.S. defense manufacturers. #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar #RussiaSanctions #USSenate #Zelensky #Putin #Trump #Geopolitics #ProfessorGerdes Facts over noise.

    Ukraine had ANOTHER FANTASTIC DAY!

    Ukraine had one of its biggest nights in months. According to overnight reporting, Ukraine launched approximately 320 drone strikes into Russia, compared with roughly 80 Russian strikes into Ukraine. More importantly, Ukraine appears to have concentrated those strikes on targets that could create lasting economic and military consequences. The biggest story is another successful strike against a Wildberries logistics center. This latest attack, in Ryazan, reportedly brings the total number of Wildberries facilities hit to at least ten. Before this strike alone, estimates placed the damage at roughly $1.9 billion. In this video, I explain why I believe the Wildberries campaign is becoming one of Ukraine's most effective economic strategies. These attacks are not just destroying warehouses. They are reducing logistics capacity, disrupting sellers, eliminating jobs, lowering tax revenue, creating pressure on lenders, and forcing ordinary Russians to experience the costs of the war firsthand. I also cover Ukraine's reported strikes against the Ryazan and Perm oil refineries, including critical processing units at Russia's seventh-largest refinery, along with attacks on military logistics, radar infrastructure, export facilities, and other strategic targets.
