Warfare Russia/Ukraine War

"This episode of Break the Fake breaks down how a staged Russian drone showcase was unexpectedly exposed by Ukrainian hackers, revealing a system heavily dependent on Chinese components relabeled as domestic technology. It then shifts to the broader reality of sanctions-era industry, where imported substitutes highlight the gap between propaganda and production capacity. Finally, we close with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s remarks on political longevity, offering insight into how authoritarian systems frame time, power, and permanence. "

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump envoys ‘disrespectful’ for visiting Moscow not Kyiv, Zelensky says

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has criticised the repeated visits made by Donald Trump’s envoys to Moscow to meet Vladimir Putin, saying it was “disrespectful” that they had not once travelled to Kyiv.

Former real estate magnate turned diplomat Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have flown to Moscow several times and met Putin as recently in January. In December, they spoke for four hours before the American diplomats toured the Russian capital.

Witkoff and Kushner are yet to travel to Ukraine even once, having only hosted the Ukrainian delegation in Miami.

“It's disrespectful to come to Moscow and not Kyiv, it's just disrespectful. I understand we have complex logistics... If they don't want to, we can meet in other countries," Zelensky said.

"Ukraine turned decades-old FV103 Spartan carriers into fast, reliable battlefield workhorses. Lightweight, quiet, and highly mobile, these discarded vehicles became vital for rapid troop transport, medical evacuation, and maneuvering through terrain that stops heavier armor. Adapted with new weapons, comms, and drone countermeasures, the Spartans proved that simplicity, speed, and smart tactics can outperform expectations in a modern, drone-saturated war."

"Russia’s top general, Valery Gerasimov, claims the full liberation of Luhansk—but the reaction inside Russia tells a very different story. Military bloggers and even pro-war voices are pushing back, mocking repeated victory claims and exposing a widening gap between Kremlin messaging and battlefield reality. From drone warfare failures to manpower shortages and quiet mobilization efforts ahead of elections, the cracks are no longer hidden. This video breaks down what Gerasimov said, why it doesn’t add up, and why even loyal Russian voices are starting to say it out loud." - Professor Gerdes.

"What happens when the war you start forces your enemy to become something you can’t defeat? Tonight’s strikes reveal a dangerous shift: Ukraine isn’t just holding—it’s evolving faster than Russia can respond. From relentless drone assaults to precision hits on infrastructure and logistics, the balance is changing. But this isn’t just about damage—it’s about transformation. Ukraine is becoming a battlefield innovator at scale, deploying systems and strategies that may redefine modern warfare—and threaten Russia in ways Putin never anticipated." - Professor Gerdes.

Footage of Russian Lancet-51 kamikaze drone strikes on a Ukrainian Caesar 155mm wheeled self-propelled howitzer (SPG) near Shavrovo. The Caesar SPG is produced in France. There were three Lancet drone attacks, and this is the first recorded instance. The first Lancet drone, with automatic guidance, was caught in a camouflage net. The SPG then attempted to flee. The second drone attacked the SPG from a distance, using a shaped charge using a technology called "explosive projectile force (EFP)." The rangefinder onboard the Lancet drone, armed with the EFP, calculates the distance to the target and activates the shaped charge. The third drone attacked the SPG after it stopped.
