    Despite Russian Claims, Fighting Rages in Kostyantynivka

    Join our truck fundraiser here! https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-offensive-2026Today we're looking at a battlefield update focused on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kostyantynivka. Bottom line up front, despite Russian claims of taking the city on July 3rd, it’s still heavily contested with Ukrainian forces scattered throughout. It’s not a good situation for Ukraine and continues to get worse by the day but it’s just not accurate to say that Russian forces hold the city. In fact, based on recent examples like Pokrovsk, we should probably assume this urban setting will be fought over for months still to come.

    Hopefully justice for this awful event comes soon

    4 years ago today, Russia murdered more than 50 Ukrainian POWs. The largest such killing of the entire war to date. In a flurry of disinformation, Russia quickly accused Ukraine of targeting their own men with a HIMARS rocket. A claim that has since been investigated and rejected by the United Nations. Today we’re talking with two men to better understand what happened here and why it still matters so much today. Nestor Barchuk, Head of international relations on POW issues First Corps Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine. Gennady Kharchenko, a soldier of the 12th Azov Brigade who survived the attack that night and was later returned home in a prisoner exchange.Follow Azov Media at the links belowInstagram: instagram.com/azov.media Facebook: facebook.com/azov.media4308 X: https://x.com/azov_mediaThreads: https://www.threads.com/@azov.mediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCewl92lzIMDO8QiAYOQ2d8wWhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va7Fxxl0bIdmcd6xbb1vProject documenting Russian war crimes: https://russian-inferno.comStore: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Contact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.

    CIA Says Russian Soldiers Have a Shockingly Short Lifespan

    Car4Ukraine fundraiser: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-offensive-2026Dzyga's Paw collab: https://prestonstew.shop/collections/dzygas-pawCar4Ukraine collab: https://prestonstew.shop/collections/car4ukraineLast week the CIA director said the average life expectancy for a Russian soldier on the battlefield is just 20-30 minutes. Which is crazy but also not true. I mean they don’t last long, especially once they’re pushed out on assault, which one Russian referred to as a one way trip, but even then, 20 minutes is a bit of a stretch.

    Russia Just Tried A Large Armored Assault, It Didn't Work

    Go to https://www.recwatches.com/the-x4009-series and use code PRESTON for 10% off. The X4009 is a strictly limited timepiece built from original WWII Spitfire aluminum, no two are identical. Part of every sale funds the restoration of the actual aircraft.It’s been a while since we’ve seen a Russian armored assault so I guess they thought they’d try again. And the results are about as expected. With one Russian commentator saying “the front is ablaze”. We also have even more Wildberries factories burning in Russia and a deadly strike on a Ukrainian defense Expo.Check out our truck fundraiser here: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-offensive-2026Sources:https://kyivindependent.com/explosions-in-kyiv-as-russia-launches-daytime-missile-attack/https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/russian-entrepreneurs-see-stock-go-up-flames-ukraine-targets-wildberries-2026-07-24/Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Unclassified Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPodContact: preston@warstories.co Learn more about your ad choices.
