Zelensky says Russia sacrificed 150,000 troops for roughly 50 square kilometers of territory. That staggering exchange reveals how slowly Russia is advancing—and how heavily Putin is paying for every marginal gain. Meanwhile, Ukraine reshuffles its government, Europe deepens defense cooperation, and Washington moves closer to major new sanctions.

Major changes may be coming inside Kyiv as President Zelenskyy returns from Paris—but the biggest names and positions remain unconfirmed.

Greg breaks down reports of a wartime leadership shake-up involving Mikhail Fedorov, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s prime minister, and key defense, energy, and foreign-policy positions. Ukraine has also extended martial law and mobilization for another 90 days.

At the same time, Zelenskyy’s meetings with Emmanuel Macron and the Coalition of the Willing produced major defense commitments: Ukrainian production licenses for SCALP missiles and AASM bombs, cooperation on Aster 30 missiles and the FREYA anti-ballistic program, enhanced SAMP/T NG air defenses, and plans for 16 French fighter jets.

Meanwhile, Peskov and Lavrov sharpen Russia’s attacks on Europe as the divide over Ukraine’s future security grows—and a Russian commentator makes extraordinary claims about damage to Moscow’s fleet.
