00:00In September 2022, the Ukrainian armed forces launched an incredible counter-offensive campaign,
00:08recapturing vast swathes of lost land and pushing the Russian invaders back out of both the Kharkiv
00:13and Kherson regions. Fast forward four years and Ukraine is today celebrating another unbelievable
00:20victory. 200 square kilometers of territory have been liberated along the Eastern Front,
00:25and it only took four months to make this happen. It's one of the swiftest and most successful land
00:31recapture campaigns we've seen in years, a powerful sign of how much the momentum of this war has
00:36shifted and how far Ukraine has come. And it has no intention of stopping any time soon. Kiev's
00:43forces are already looking further afield, plotting their subsequent steps and eyeing their next
00:47targets, while their Russian foes are forced to ponder the worrying ramifications of these recent
00:52events. Before we explain exactly what happened, if you want to enjoy instant access to exclusive
00:58military reports about Russia, Ukraine, Iran, the US, and more, join the Military Show channel today.
01:04News of the recent Ukrainian victory came courtesy of French open-source intelligence analyst Clement
01:10Molin, who shared a detailed explanation of events via his personal ex-account. After four months of the
01:16Lehman counter-attack, Ukraine 3rd Army Corps managed to cut Russian salient north of Lehman
01:21and liberate more than 200 square kilometers. This is one of the most important victories for
01:26Ukraine in 2026, which will delay the offensive on northern Donbass. To understand exactly why
01:32Molin and other experts are calling this such a significant moment in the war so far, it's key
01:37to understand the importance of the area in which it occurred, just north of the city of Lehman,
01:42which sits in the Donetsk region, not far from the borders with both the Kharkiv and Luhansk regions
01:47of Ukraine. The area to the north of Lehman is quite a diverse landscape, featuring multiple rivers,
01:52valleys, forests, rolling hills, stretches of farmland, and numerous small settlements and
01:58villages dotted here and there. The rivers are arguably the most important of these features.
02:03For Ukraine, they serve as natural barriers. For Russia, there are obstacles that have to be
02:07traversed. That's not easy at the best of times, and it's even more difficult when you're facing swarms of
02:13unmanned aerial vehicles and fortified riverside positions. Thanks to that, Ukraine managed to hold
02:18onto most of the land on one side of the Zerebets River, and as Molin notes, they made good use
02:23of
02:23the high ground in that area to fire on any Russian assault squads that attempted to enter the zone.
02:28This led to immense losses on the Russian side, but one thing we've learned about the Russian war
02:32machine is that it's perfectly happy to expend vast amounts of troops in order to get what it wants.
02:38Even when suffering loss after loss and failure after failure, it will stubbornly persist with the
02:44same brute force tactics in the hope that eventually its opponent relents. That's what
02:50happened here. It took a long time, but bit by bit the Kremlin's forces slowly managed to form what's
02:55known in military terminology as a salient, a bulge or outward projection that extends into an enemy's
03:01territory between the Zerebets and the smaller Nitreus River, which is situated further to the west.
03:08After that, two more rivers, the Oskil and Donets, remain and are notoriously difficult to cross,
03:13which has allowed Ukraine to maintain control of the towns and villages around them.
03:17Still, the fact that the Russians managed to form this salient was a major cause for concern for
03:21Kyiv's forces. It wasn't just a meaningless patch of land, it was potentially the springboard that
03:27Russia needed to advance on other strategic locations nearby, like the city of Liman itself,
03:32or the supply lines that Ukraine relies on to feed key stronghold cities like Izium and Slovyansk,
03:37for instance. As Milan explains, the salient threatened to strangle the northern supply
03:41road into the Donetsk region, which is so important in helping Ukraine shore up its defenses in this
03:46critical section of the Eastern Front. And Russia had battled hard for this patch of ground, it wasn't
03:51going to give it up easily. But Ukraine couldn't simply sit idly by and allow its enemy to strengthen
03:56and solidify its salient, it had to destroy it. And so, as Milan explains, Ukrainian forces prepared
04:03their plans and in late May began the first phase of a multi-stage operation aimed at pushing the
04:08Russians back over the river for good. The opening move came on May 22, when a mechanized battalion
04:15from Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade, ably reinforced by elements of the 60th and 66th Brigades of the 3rd
04:21Army Corps, launched a mechanized offensive through the forests east of Izium and into the village of Nova.
04:27They hoped that their electronic warfare systems were proof sufficient to jam Russia's drones,
04:31allowing troops and vehicles to move in and establish a small but crucial foothold in the
04:35forest. This was vital, as the Russian troops were no doubt relying on their drone swarms to help them
04:41pick off any Ukrainian assets in the area and deter their opponent from attempting any sort of medium or
04:46large-scale assault on the salient. The mission didn't go flawlessly. Reports state that multiple
04:52Ukrainian vehicles were struck on May 22, but others managed to make it through, allowing Ukraine to
04:58establish supply lines and entrench themselves within the woods. After consolidating their forces,
05:03they took the next step, which involved clearing operations in and around Nova itself, which was
05:08completely under Russian control at the time. Additional Ukrainian units moved into other surrounding
05:13wooded areas, and together, they ramped up the pressure on the village and by June 1,
05:17it was almost entirely liberated. According to quotes from the 3rd Corps commander,
05:22Brigadier General Andrey Beletsky, it seems that Ukraine achieved this through a series of small
05:26assaults, with infantry teams advancing either on foot or in light-armoured vehicles, supported by drones
05:31from above, to break through Russia's defensive lines and weaken the enemy's grip on the village
05:36gradually, rather than rushing in with a large force and attempting to recapture it in a single swoop.
05:41This ties into the sort of strategies we've seen Ukraine deploy over the course of the entire
05:45conflict. While Russian commanders are perfectly content treating their troops like cattle and
05:50sending them to the slaughter, their Ukrainian counterparts tend to be much more cautious and
05:55resourceful, taking a more moderate and measured approach to achieve their goals with the fewest
05:59possible losses. They most likely made strong use of their forest positions and the long tree lines
06:05in the area near Nova to conceal their movements and confuse their enemy. And their enemy certainly wasn't
06:10sitting back and allowing Ukraine to attack unopposed. Open-source satellite imagery, which
06:15Milan and other analysts relied on to piece together the details of these events, shows that Russia
06:20carried out multiple glide bomb strikes on the tree lines around Nova in the early days of June.
06:25Ukrainian forces had to withstand those strikes as well as they could, and this seemingly slowed down
06:30their progress somewhat throughout the month of June, which seemed to be more about consolidation
06:35rather than conquest. By the end of the month, Milan reports that Russia had carried out 71 separate
06:41airstrikes in the Nova area, but it clearly wasn't enough to stop Ukraine from pushing on and whittling
06:46away at the salient even more. As the weeks went by, Ukraine's forces secured positions west of Nova
06:51and Lipova, before pushing on through more forests and tree lines to the south and towards other villages
06:57and settlements, such as the Lenya Dolina, which was secured in mid-July. The key here is that the
07:02Ukrainians weren't just moving in one direction or from one location. They were opening multiple axes
07:07against the salient, with different groups focusing on their own specific targets, so Russia couldn't
07:11simply consolidate its forces and focus on defending a particular area. It had to deal with numerous
07:17threats moving in on a continuous basis. That's much harder. By giving Russia many small problems
07:22to solve, rather than just one big one, Ukrainian troops were making the salient almost impossible to
07:27save. Even if Russian forces held a settlement in one area, they'd likely lose one somewhere else,
07:32and that meant their overall territorial control was diminishing.
07:35It happened relatively slowly, but it happened nonetheless. And in August,
07:40Ukraine made the breakthrough it had been waiting for, and Russia had been dreading.
07:44But before we explain what that is, if this is the kind of insight you want more of,
07:48make sure you are subscribed to The Military Show. We break it down like this every single week.
07:53By the latter stages of the summer, Ukrainian forces have made some sizeable gains in the south.
07:58They were still coming under heavy fire, with Milan reporting close to 200 airstrikes in total,
08:02but it still wasn't enough to stop them. And on or around August 15th,
08:07they arrived just north of the village of Kolodyatsy. The village itself isn't particularly
08:12noteworthy, but military maps revealed why it mattered so much. In reaching this location,
08:17Ukraine was close to cutting off the salient entirely. Its forces had almost encircled the
08:22projection, both above and below, and were eating into its eastern side. Any Russian troops left in the
08:28center were being isolated and their supply lines severed. It's not clear how many troops and other
08:33Russian assets were actually in the area at this time. Some may have retreated to safe ground in the
08:38east, on the other side of the Zerebets river, once their commanders realized what was going on.
08:43Others, however, likely remained in place, either due to stubborn leaders who refused to retreat,
08:48or simply waited too long to understand the gravity of the situation. Either way, Ukraine's work
08:53wasn't done. On August 24th, it took a big step towards finishing the job. It launched another
08:59major mechanized attack. Milan believes that the purpose of this assault wasn't just to help
09:03Ukrainian forces move further south, but also to the east, taking territory between the settlements
09:09of Katerinivka and Novolyubivka, which allowed it to, in the analyst's words, cut the bulge at last.
09:15Territorial control maps following that assault revealed that the Russian position had been almost
09:20entirely wiped out, with Ukrainian forces compressing and condensing it from almost every direction.
09:25And one of the most extraordinary aspects about this entire course of events is that it went largely
09:30unnoticed. Milan noted how media agents, analysts and even military officials on both sides said very
09:37little about what was happening in this particular part of the front, though they likely had very
09:41different reasons for doing so. The Ukrainians most likely didn't want to reveal too much information in
09:47public space about their troops' movements and intentions, especially when they were coming
09:51under such a plethora of airstrikes. The Russians, meanwhile, probably didn't want to acknowledge
09:56that their salient stronghold was being eroded, and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
10:00The French analyst even stated that open-source intelligence experts deliberately avoided sharing
10:05some of the information they were tracking, presumably in order to avoid compromising the Ukrainian
10:10mission. It worked. The Ukrainian army was able to advance and recapture lost terrain,
10:15one little piece at a time. And since Russia's high command either didn't know or didn't fully
10:19understand what was happening, the Kremlin's forces were unable to maintain any control over
10:24this valuable patch of land. It was only in early September, once an estimated 200 square miles of
10:29ground had been recaptured by Ukraine, that reports finally began to emerge. And while Ukrainian officials
10:35like Brigadier General Andrey Beletsky were celebrating, Russian military bloggers were once more
10:40forced to criticize and condemn their country's incompetent commanders for yet another failure.
10:46The Rybar Channel, for example, wrote, Ukrainian units have been systematically attacking southwards
10:51for several months and have achieved at least tactical successes. If confirmed, this would mean
10:56very serious problems for Russian forces operating west of the Zerebets river. It cannot be ruled out
11:01that the approach to Lehman from the direction of Zerychna has also been lost. Which leads us neatly to why
11:06all
11:06this matters so much. Obviously, every single square kilometer that Ukraine can recapture matters.
11:12It's always a cause for celebration for Ukrainian soldiers, people and their Western allies when
11:16the country's armed forces managed to push the Russians back and raise their flag over towns and
11:21settlements that once seemed like they'd been lost for good. But not every patch of land is the same,
11:26and this one is particularly valuable. That's why Russia had fought so hard for it for so many years,
11:32paying the price of countless lives and lost assets just to get across the river
11:35and start expanding its salient outwards. And it's why Ukraine was so eager to reclaim it.
11:41Now that it has done so, it has effectively forced Russia right back to square one,
11:45cancelling whatever plans Moscow might have had to use the salient as a launch pad for additional
11:49attacks on surrounding cities and Ukrainian fortifications. As EU Observer notes,
11:55this area is strategically important, and if Ukrainians have indeed cleared it out and forced Russian
12:00forces to withdraw, it will help defend major Donbass strongholds such as Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.
12:05On a larger-scale map, there was a risk that Russians could use this salient to bypass
12:09this urban area from the north. That possibility is now less likely.
12:14Woofers, another online open-source intelligent or OSINT researcher and analyst, agrees, stating,
12:19Improving the situation around Liman is crucial to preventing the bypassing of the belt of
12:24fortifications in Donbass. This also has the added benefit of buying Ukraine more of one of the most
12:29important resources of all time. Had Russia been allowed to solidify and extend its salient,
12:35it could quite feasibly have launched strikes on nearby strategic settlements before the end of
12:39this year, which could have paved the way towards a bigger, broader, and more impactful offensive
12:43into the northern Donbass. This seemed likely earlier in 2026, but Ukraine has now reset the clocks.
12:50It has undone years of Russian effort, and even if Moscow sends reinforcements to this region in
12:55order to get its forces back over the river, the salient isn't going to reappear overnight.
12:59And that means that any offensive maneuvers towards Liman or other locations west of the
13:04Zerebets will have to wait. Maybe until next year. But maybe they'll never even happen at all.
13:10Because this story ties into a much bigger one. The story of Ukraine turning the tide in this war,
13:15not only in the Liman area, but up and down the hundreds of miles of fiercely contested
13:19front-line territories and beyond. Throughout 2026, we've seen one report after another,
13:25detailing Ukrainian victories. Kyiv's troops haven't just slowed down Russian progress in
13:29certain sectors, they've stopped their enemy outright, and as this recent news proves,
13:35regained large amounts of lost land too. They've also carried out the now well-publicized
13:40middle and deep-strike campaigns against targets such as Russian oil refineries, supply lines,
13:44shadow fleet tankers, and logistics facilities, slashing the Kremlin's oil supplies, crippling
13:49its economy, and draining Vladimir Putin's war chest dry. And the rest of the world is taking notice.
13:55On September 8, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that American diplomats and
14:00military officials have openly acknowledged that Ukraine has strengthened its position on the
14:04battlefield and in turn gained greater leverage in any negotiations that may soon take place between
14:10Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine has become stronger on the battlefield. And Ukraine has a stronger
14:15negotiating position. By the way, the American side is also saying this, and their military and
14:19analysts acknowledge it. This is a fact. Zelenskyy went on to detail how the war has shifted over
14:24the last 12 months, with Ukraine rising as Russia is suffering unprecedented losses.
14:29In 2026, since the end of 2025, let's put it this way, we have been strengthening our position on the
14:34battlefield. Russia has many losses and few gains. This is, in principle, roughly the overall
14:40assessment. And those aren't empty words. Ukraine has reached a point where it doesn't need to fear
14:45large or rapid Russian advances on the front lines anywhere near as much as it did in the past.
14:50It's able to dig in and defend its ground much more effectively than ever before,
14:54and it has both the freedom and the capability to hit Russia where it hurts the most,
14:58like those aforementioned refineries, as well as warehouses, airfields, military factories,
15:03and other key pieces of high-value infrastructure. It continues, also, to take out Russian troops and assets at a
15:09remarkable rate, leaving the Kremlin with spiraling casualties, uncontrollable losses, and far more
15:15questions than answers. If and when the time comes for representatives from both sides to sit down at
15:20the negotiating table, Ukraine will, without doubt, have the stronger hand to play, and recapturing 200
15:26square kilometers of land certainly hasn't harmed its chances of getting the deal it both wants and deserves.
15:33Russia has had a very bad week. From Norway doing something massive
15:37by seizing a Russian state-owned vessel, to Ukraine retaking land and carrying out devastating strikes
15:44in Russia and the occupied territories, Putin doesn't know where to turn. So he's saying some crazy stuff,
15:50as his own economists warn him that his Ukraine war tunnel vision is crippling the Russian economy.
15:55There's a lot to cover here, so we're going to go story by story as we cover the six tales
16:00of Russian ineptitude,
16:01Ukrainian brilliance, and EU pain that have afflicted Russia. We start with Norway.
16:08Norwegian authorities have seized a Russian ship in the Arctic region. The Professor Molchanov was
16:13sailing off the Svalbard archipelago when the Norwegian Coast Guard decided to strike.
16:18After a 24-hour standoff, Norway got its way and the ship was taken.
16:22Norway hasn't done this randomly. The seizure was conducted to enforce a compensation claim won by
16:28the Ukrainian energy firm Naftagas related to the seizure of the company's assets when Putin illegally
16:34annexed Crimea back in 2014. Naftagas has been pursuing legal action against Russia since 2016
16:40regarding the seizure of these assets, and the $4.22 billion plus interest is part of a judgment made
16:48at a tribunal in The Hague in April 2023. Of course, Russia has made no attempt to pay this money.
16:54What's one more crime added to a litany for Putin? So, if Russia isn't going to pay,
16:59the judgment needs to be enforced.
17:11Norway stepped up as enforcer. The seizure comes as a result of Naftagas applying to the Norwegian court
17:17or the Professor Molchanov to be claimed. Naftagas had anticipated the vessel's arrival in Svalbard,
17:23on its way to the Russian mining settlement of Barentsburg. An application was submitted,
17:28the Norwegian court said yes, and now a Russian ship has been seized and is going to be held in
17:33Svalbard
17:34until further noticed. Russia is p******. Representatives from the Russian foreign ministry
17:39have already labelled Norway's move an act of piracy, with Putin also claiming that the act
17:44is tantamount to state terrorism. Even without The Hague judgment legitimizing the seizure,
17:49that claim coming out of the Russian leader's mouth is hypocrisy to agree that we can't even
17:54fathom. But there's a reason why Putin is so angry. The seizure of the Professor Molchanov could open
18:00the door for other European powers, to start holding Russian ships on behalf of Ukraine.
18:05After all, as the Kyiv Post points out, Moscow isn't meeting its international obligations.
18:10Any country that recognizes The Hague's Naftagas decision as legitimate may follow suit now,
18:14if Russian vessels enter their territory, turning European ports into a legal minefield for Moscow.
18:20The Molchanov isn't the only vessel Moscow has lost recently, because Russia's illicit Shadow
18:25Fleet has also taken a beating across Europe this year.
18:29Back in June, France seized a Russian Shadow Fleet tanker with help from the UK,
18:34and in the same month the UK got in on the action directly with a first-of-its-kind operation
18:38involving the Royal Marines, who seized a tanker named the Smyrtos. Russia is losing ships all over
18:45Europe, and it's all a direct consequence of Putin's aggression against Ukraine.
18:49Before we move on, there's an interesting coda to this story. According to Reuters,
18:54Norway is going to provide necessary assistance to Russians who are now stranded on the Svalbard
18:59Islands following this ship's seizure. The country's foreign ministry has even confirmed this, stating,
19:04Norwegian authorities are doing what we can to protect Russian citizens who have found themselves
19:08in a difficult situation in Svalbard now. It's seizure with a smile. If anything,
19:13that will only make Putin angrier, as Norway is doing more to help Russian people than the Kremlin.
19:17That anger isn't going to be made any better by our second story. The EU is likely to place new
19:23restrictions on Russian tourist visas following several attacks on Germany's Leipzig airport.
19:28In the wake of an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Ireland,
19:31the EU's foreign policy chief, Kaya Callas, says that there were discussions about a potential
19:36response, and it seems that a visa crackdown is something that has broad support across the bloc.
19:42There was broad support to move with an EU visa entry ban for Russian ex-combatants
19:46and tougher visa restrictions for Russian tourists, Callas said in the wake of the meeting.
19:51The move is actually a stripped-back version of the one proposed as part of the EU's 21st sanctions
19:57package, Euronews reports. The original proposal was that EU members should not
20:01issue visas to any Russian involved in the Ukraine invasion. France and Italy objected,
20:06both arguing that it would put immense pressure on consulates to carry out case-by-case investigations
20:11related to any assessment that could be exposed to litigation.
20:15So we get the move we see now. No ex-soldiers and a crackdown on tourism visas. Russia will be
20:20mad
20:20about this, but it has no right to be. Throughout August, several drones, some armed with explosives,
20:25were discovered loitering close to Ukrainian cargo planes at Leipzig airport. The first drone was
20:31discovered on August 4th, but it failed to explode due to a faulty detonate. A second drone collided
20:36with another aircraft on the same day and German authorities found a third on August 14th. What we
20:42see here is Russia actively launching attacks against an EU nation. Some may dub this hybrid warfare,
20:48others a direct attack, and Russia of course has denied responsibility. However, German authorities say
20:54that Russia is behind this, and according to the Guardian, Germany is one of the main voices behind
20:58the push to stop Russians from entering the EU. There's a simple logic here. Fewer Russians also
21:04means fewer opportunities for Putin to insert foreign agents into EU countries. The move isn't
21:10official yet. It has broad support, but the EU needs to dot the I's and cross the T's before Russian
21:15tourists and former soldiers are banned. But with this and the ship seizure, we're starting to see EU
21:20nations take a tougher stance against Russia. Of course, Ukraine has been taking a tough stance for
21:25years. And that brings us to our third story, which is that Ukrainian forces have pulled off
21:29something remarkable in Kupyansk. On September 3rd, the New Voice of Ukraine reported that assault
21:35troops from Ukraine's 23rd assault regiment have continued their push to remove Russian forces
21:40from the Kupyansk district, which is in Kharkiv. The latest push saw Ukraine liberate four square
21:46kilometers of territory as assault troops cleared areas between the settlements of Zapadny and
21:51Dvorichna, reports the Kartia Corps. The assault regiment worked alongside members of Ukraine's 35th
21:56Separate Marine Brigade to carry out the liberation, which comes on the back of several other assaults
22:01by the 23rd assault regiment. On August 25th, this same regiment cleared 7.5 square kilometers of forest
22:07in Kupyansk, and it followed that up five days later by clearing another two square kilometers,
22:12bringing the total for the last week or so to 13.5 square kilometers claimed back from the Russian
22:17invaders. Footage has been released of the clearing operations, showing assault troops
22:21sneaking through woodland and advancing on Russian positions. This is Ukraine's search and destroy
22:27strategy in action. Under the constant watchful eye of reconnaissance drones, Ukraine's forces hunt
22:32down Russian infiltrators as they attempt to hide out. Drones are also used to conduct strikes and
22:37soften fortifications. Ukraine's latest liberations come as another blow to Russia, which has been
22:43attempting to take Kupyansk for much of the war. Russia has even claimed to hold the city, as it did
22:48back in December ahead of peace negotiations. That was soon proven to be a load of nonsense. Not only
22:54did Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky visit Kupyansk to prove that Russia didn't hold the city,
22:59but Ukraine also carried out lightning-fast counter-attacks to push out the Russian troops
23:03that had managed to infiltrate their way inside. By mid-December, Ukraine had totally liberated the
23:09city, breaking through to the Oskil River to cut off Russian supply routes into Kupyansk in the process.
23:15Russia hasn't made much progress since. All it can do is send infiltration units and hold the
23:20surrounding land as best it can. Piece by piece, Ukraine is reclaiming what always belonged to the
23:25country. The latest liberations mean that Ukraine is now starting to form a buffer around Kupyansk itself,
23:31and it's also likely that Ukraine will use the ground that it's captured as a launching pad for future
23:35assaults to reclaim territory and settlements. So a ship seized, the EU biting back, and Ukraine doing
23:41what it's been doing throughout 2026 by liberating portions of territory when Russia claims that it's
23:46making massive advances. Not a great week for Putin, but it gets so much worse, as we still have
23:52three more stories to cover, including Ukraine conducting more devastating strikes and Russia's
23:58economy taking more blows. But before we get into all of that, this is a reminder that you're
24:02watching the military show. If you haven't subscribed yet, now's the perfect time to publish videos
24:07covering the Ukraine war and other major military events every single day.
24:12As Ukraine's assault troops made mincemeat of Russian infiltrators in Kupyansk, its drone teams
24:17were wreaking havoc inside Russia and the occupied territories. A one-two punch of long-range
24:22strikes has crippled a refinery and taken an expensive air defense radar out of the game.
24:28On September 3rd, the news broke that Ukraine's drones had scored a direct hit against a Castor
24:332E2 radar in occupied Zaporizhia. This radar station was located near the settlement of Vishneva,
24:39and it's been confirmed by the general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces. The strike itself took
24:44place two days before Ukraine broke the news with a general staff telegram post stating that Ukraine
24:48scored hits on the radar antenna and the hardware station of the radar machine.
24:54Score another shot against Russia's air defenses in the occupied territories for Ukraine.
24:58The Castor 2E2 is a mobile, three-coordinate radar that is used to track air targets at both low and
25:04extremely low altitudes. That means it's meant to specialize in seeing cruise missiles and drones
25:10coming long before they reach their targets. The data collected by the radar is then distributed to
25:15air defense control points, which are supposed to use that data to shoot down the incoming threat.
25:19The radar has a viewing range of up to 150 kilometers. It's also expensive. This is a $60
25:26million piece of kit that has just been rendered useless by mid-range drones that would have cost a
25:30tiny fraction of the price. United24 media confirms that Ukraine also struck several other Russian
25:36targets in the border region of Bryansk and the occupied Donetsk region on the same night the radar
25:41went down. However, the second strike we're going to cover before we move on to our next story took
25:46place much deeper inside Russia. In the Russian city of Kostovo, more of Ukraine's drones were flying.
25:52Their target was the Lukoil Nizhgorod-Neftyorg-Syntez. Ukraine's drones scored direct hits in an attack
25:59that took place on August 26th and involved FP1 drones. So why are we reporting it as news in the
26:05week that
26:05followed? New satellite images have emerged showing that Ukraine's drones did a ton of damage,
26:10causing several massive fires at the refinery. Process pipe racks and columns in several crude
26:16oil distillation units took serious damage, as did a vacuum gas oil hydro-treating unit.
26:22By September 3rd, none of this damage had been repaired and it was confirmed that the Lukoil
26:26facility is still completely offline as all operations have been halted. The Kostovo refinery has
26:32an annual processing capacity of 17 million tons of crude oil and is responsible for 11% of Russia's
26:38entire gasoline production, as well as a large portion of the country's diesel production.
26:43This is one of the most important fuel-generating refineries in all of Russia,
26:47and it will have been offline for close to two weeks by the time you're watching this video.
26:51This is just the latest refinery to go down. Ukraine's long-range campaign has crippled Russian
26:57oil infrastructure, the point where Fortune says an estimated 40% of the country's refining capacity
27:02is now believed to be offline. Russia has had to halt gasoline and diesel exports as it grapples with
27:09domestic shortages that have led to empty pumps at gas stations and massive queues at the stations
27:14that do have a little fuel available. According to Reuters, Russia's gasoline production has dropped to
27:1970% of domestic demand, meaning the fuel shortages aren't going to go away anytime soon. The Kostovo
27:26strike only makes all of this worse for Russia, and more will be coming. But as the pain at the
27:31pumps is being felt all over Russia, the economic impact of these strikes, which are limiting Russian
27:36fuel exports, is really starting to take hold. With that we come to our fifth story, which is that
27:42some key economists are now saying that Russia's economy is rapidly spiraling out of control,
27:46and it's not being helped one bit by Putin's insistence on focusing everything that Russia has on the
27:52Ukraine war effort. On September 1st, the New Voice of Ukraine reported that Boris Titov,
27:57who is Putin's representative for international development, warned that the Russian economy is
28:02on the verge of going berserk if Putin continues his incessant focus on the military-industrial complex.
28:09Appointed to his role in 2024, Titov has just taken a massive risk by exposing how Putin's poor
28:14decision-making has led to Russia's economy crumbling, but it's a risk that needs to be taken,
28:19as Russia's leader doesn't seem to be listening to anybody, right?
28:23This is not an economy at all. It's a kind of berserk mode that can only exist for a very
28:28limited time,
28:29and the necessity of which should be considered very carefully, Titov said, ahead of a major economic
28:34forum in the Far East that Putin is set to visit. And he's right. The growth that Russia experienced
28:39during the first few years of the Ukraine invasion, which was bolstered by the switch to a war economy,
28:43has disappeared. Reuters reports that the Russian economy is now only projected to grow by 0.4%
28:49in 2026, which basically makes it stagnant. Ukraine isn't helping anything. The refinery
28:54strikes we've already mentioned are ruining Russia's ability to make money from some of
28:58its most important products. Exports have all but dried up when it comes to refined oil,
29:02leading Russia to lean more heavily into selling crude oil at a discount. Balance is needed,
29:07Titov is warned, but balance isn't what Russia is getting.
29:11Russia's budget deficit is now 2.8% of its gross domestic product, or GDP,
29:15GDP, which is twice the country's original target for 2026. And there are still about
29:20four months of the year to go for it to get worse. Putin claims that Russia can handle this deficit
29:26as his war spending spirals out of control. One of his top economists is saying the opposite,
29:31especially as Russia seems to have no answer for the balance problem that Titov highlights.
29:36And it's not just Titov pointing to these problems. Russia's central bank has been forced to admit that
29:41Ukraine's long-range strikes are slowing the Russian economy. Followed by second-quarter
29:46GDP growth of 1.3%, which was made possible by higher oil prices in the wake of Operation Epic
29:51Fury in Iran, the third quarter will see Russia's economy slow down again, the bank says.
29:57In the third quarter, growth in the Russian economy may slow. This could occur primarily due
30:02to a temporary loss of production and logistics capacity, that is, the supply of goods and services,
30:06rather than as a result of demand restraint. This is a nice way of saying that Ukraine keeps
30:11destroying Russian refineries and, more recently, its online shopping platforms,
30:15including Wild Berries and Ozon. Everybody is telling Putin that he is tanking the Russian economy.
30:21But Putin doesn't listen to anybody anymore, and that's been made clear with our sixth and final
30:26story, which is that Putin has just made the ridiculous claim that the war in Ukraine is not
30:30the main reason for the declining birth rate in Russia. Putin made this claim during a plenary session of the
30:36Eastern Economic Forum, citing Japan and South Korea's low birth rates as an example of countries
30:41struggling with the same issue as Russia, only without war. Russia certainly has a birth rate
30:46problem. In 2025, the country's birth rate fell to its lowest point since 2006, hitting 1.305
30:53children per woman. It looks like 2026 is going to continue the downward swing, UA.News reports.
31:00272,000 children were born during the first quarter of the year, which is 17,000 fewer than the same
31:06period in 2025. Putin doesn't appear to have given any alternative reasons for why Russians are having
31:11fewer children, not that he could. If Putin tried to point to the economy, then that would be a result
31:16of the war. If he tried to claim that Russian people don't feel certain about bringing children
31:20into the world right now, this could be countered by saying, of course they don't. Their country is at war,
31:25their leader is cracking down on everything as he descends into isolationist madness,
31:29and there seems to be no real hope for the future in Russia.
31:32But beyond any of this, let's look at the obvious. Russia needs alive men to father children,
31:38and Putin's invasion has been sapping the population of men capable of having children
31:42by an astonishing degree. As of September 6th, Russia has suffered 1,496,440 casualties in Ukraine.
31:51It will only be a couple more days before Russia breaks past the 1.5 million casualty milestone,
31:56which is a figure that tells us everything that we really need to know about Russia's declining
32:00birth rate. Women can't have children when men are being blown to pieces by the thousands every
32:06single week in Ukraine. It's not a hard concept to grasp, but Putin just can't seem to get hold of
32:11it.
32:12Russia is doing what it can to counter this problem. There are active programs all over
32:16the country encouraging women to have children. France 24 reports that Russia's health ministry
32:21has even approved guidelines that allow health professionals to send women to see psychotherapists
32:26with the aim of fostering a positive attitude toward motherhood. It's a tone-deaf approach that
32:31sees Putin and his cronies treat the women of Russia as little more than baby machines who
32:35exist to serve whatever the Kremlin's needs might be. But it isn't working.
32:40For most of the war, Putin has been hell-bent on taking the Donbass. Loaded with mineral wealth and
32:47symbolically important to Russia, the Donbass would be enough for Putin to claim some sort of victory
32:52in his so-called special military operation. And within the Donbass, in the Donetsk region,
32:57is the settlement of Liman, a key battleground for many reasons and one where fighting has raged
33:04since 2022. Russia thought that it was getting the upper hand in Liman as the war headed into 2026.
33:10Russia was wrong. Ukraine was building something massive in the Liman direction and a few months
33:16into the year it unleashed it with a secret counter-offensive that has set Russia's Donbass
33:21plans back. Now there's no chance that the Donbass will fall by the end of 2026. And for Putin,
33:27a fight that already seems never-ending is going to stretch on for even long.
33:32In a revealing August 25th report, David Axe, who now writes for Euromiden Press,
33:37has revealed that the Ukrainian 3rd Army Corps has been launching targeted counter-attacks north of
33:43Liman for several months. These attacks have been top secret. Ukraine spent months preparing them.
33:48And all have been carried out under strict operational security. But they are happening
33:53without any fanfare. And we are starting to see evidence of the success that Ukraine is enjoying
33:58in Liman via the maps. Before we continue, are you enjoying our reporting? Subscribe and share your
34:04thoughts below. And if you would like to support the real people behind the channel, consider becoming
34:09a member for exclusive content. Ukraine's plan is simple in concept but complex in execution. In an effort to
34:16protect the fortress city of Slovyansk, which lies just 20 kilometers to the southwest, brigades from
34:22the 3rd Army Corps are working to blunt Russian offensives and push Putin's troops back. We have
34:27seen Ukraine make advances in the direction of Nova, which is an occupied village that is about 15
34:32kilometers north of Liman. And the only reason we have any evidence of this at all is thanks to
34:36open-source intelligence. In particular, analyst Clement Molan shares that Ukraine has been conducting
34:42counter-attack since May, starting with a mechanized assault on Nova. And it has been consolidating its
34:48positions ever since, as confirmed by geolocation and satellite imagery. Ukraine hasn't talked about
34:53any of this. Both Ukraine and Russia have been hesitant to share any details about what's happening
34:58in Liman for different reasons. The Kremlin doesn't want to reveal that it's losing ground. Ukraine wants
35:04to maintain operational security. However, Molan claims the time is approaching when Ukraine will
35:09reveal the full details about what it's achieved, likely after the consolidation process we just
35:14mentioned is completed. By the end of the month, we should have an official update on the good results
35:19of a Ukrainian offensive that has largely remained secret, Molan reports on X, even revealing that he
35:24has delayed his reporting on the situation several times so as not to reveal anything too sensitive.
35:30I've spoken about it four times, with a delay on the reality on the ground to avoid attracting
35:34harmful media attention for the terrain, Molan claims. So we have the basics. But the big question remains,
35:40what exactly has Ukraine been doing in the Liman direction? We can start by telling you about the
35:46impact that Ukraine's Liman counter-offensive has been having. Russia's forces in the region
35:51have been stalemated. That's according to an August 25th Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment
35:56by the Institute for the Study of War, or ISW, which says that Russian forces continue to launch
36:02offensive operations in Liman but have yet to make any confirmed advances. There are only rumors of
36:08advances coming from Russian military bloggers, the ISW says, and those should be taken with a grain of
36:13salt. What we're likely seeing here is Ukraine's consolidation after its own advance, serving as
36:18a defensive line against Russia's own attempts to counter. As for Ukraine's months-long secret
36:23operation, Axe offers up some details in his article. He reports that Ukraine's secret offensive was built
36:30up during the early months of 2026, and it began in earnest in mid-April with a series of small
36:35counter-offensives around Liman. Evidence of these offensives was scant, but that began to change on
36:41May 22nd with the assault in the direction of Nova that we mentioned. For that attack, Ukraine is
36:47believed to have deployed a small mechanized force, which could have been either the Presidential Brigade,
36:52the 77th Air Assault Brigade, or either the 60th or 66th Mechanized Brigade to occupy the settlement.
36:58Whichever brigade did the damage brought with it armored trucks, along with a BTR-4 armored personnel
37:04carrier, a Stryker, and an M113. Drones were also part of the assault, as Ukraine's operators deployed
37:10heavy bomber UAVs to provide aerial cover for the assault forces on the ground, Axe reports.
37:16Standing that brigade's way was Russia's 144th Motor Rifle Division. It fought back, fiercely
37:22attempting to defend the territory it held. Drones were deployed, including interceptors that tried to take
37:28down Ukraine's heavy bombers. Ukraine's BTR-4 barely survived the assault. Russian FPV and bomber drones
37:35hit it several times, though they failed to prevent the armored vehicle from dropping off its infantry passengers.
37:40Russia also launched drone attacks on Ukraine's soldiers. However, when the dust had settled and the smoke
37:45cleared, it was Ukraine that came out on top. We don't know how many soldiers Ukraine lost in the assault,
37:51but we do know that those who survived entrenched themselves in the Nova direction.
37:55More was to come. After consolidating its initial gains, Ukraine followed up its initial assault in
38:01the Nova direction. More gains were made. More consolidation occurred. And by early July,
38:06Ukraine's forces had advanced to the point where they had encircled the Russian occupiers in Nova itself.
38:12This was reported by the Thor Kill 65X account, which shared a map of the encirclement. As we speak,
38:19the fight for Nova appears to be ongoing. Russia's forces are increasingly being encircled and isolated
38:24from support. The most recent update on Ukraine's brilliant counter assault comes from AMK mapping,
38:30suggesting that Ukraine has advanced into other settlements as it creates a pair of pincers
38:34designed to cut the Russian forces off. Ukraine's assault groups have now managed to entrench themselves
38:40in the settlement of Chandryhalova. And in the Nova direction, they're pushing south along tactical
38:45high ground to secure strong points around the village. Russia is bombing these high points to
38:50try to push Ukraine back, but it is failing. Slowly but surely, Ukraine's Lehman forces are advancing.
38:56And that matters because Ukraine isn't the only country setting up a pincer. Russia itself is doing
39:01the same in an effort to surround the fortress belt city of Slovyansk. Specifically, there is a salient,
39:07measuring 10 by 10 kilometers, that juts into the battleground just north of Lehman. Russia's 144th
39:13Motor Rifle Division has been pouring soldiers into that salient in an effort to both lengthen and
39:18widen it. If Russia succeeds, the salient will surround Lehman itself, Acts reports, which would
39:24then give the Russian forces a clearer path to Slovyansk. So we have context for why Ukraine has launched
39:29its Lehman counteroffensives. It needs to stop Russia's plans in their tracks. The 3rd Army Corps'
39:34workers focused on putting pressure on the Russian salient, with Ukraine's pincer designed to isolate
39:40the soldiers being poured into it. This is turning the tables. Ukraine is taking advantage of the
39:45dangerous nature of salients, which are defined as a portion of the frontline that juts into enemy
39:49territory. That jutting can be a problem for the force creating the salient. As Russia's Lehman salient
39:55gets deeper, the troops being poured into it are more exposed on the salient's flanks. Ukraine is
40:01taking advantage of that fact. And by capturing Nova, as Acts points out, Ukraine will be able to
40:06position itself north of the Russian salient. From there, the artillery and drones can rain down
40:11on Russian positions south of Nova. Ukraine wouldn't even have to turn its pincer move into a
40:16full encirclement. With Nova secured, it could attack Russia from a distance, forcing Putin's forces
40:21back even further than they're already being pushed. Russia will continue to launch assaults, of course.
40:27As an August 25th UKR-INFORM report points out, Russian forces are highly active on both the
40:32Lehman and Slovyansk fronts. However, Ukraine's brilliant pushback in Lehman makes a massive
40:37difference. And that's not just because it's part of a wider series of counter-offensives happening
40:42across the front, and especially in the south, that have led to Ukraine liberating 745 square
40:48kilometers in the Oleksandrovka direction alone. No, what's happening in Lehman is important for other
40:53reasons. The city itself is key. Its role in the battle for Slovyansk even more so. And when you
40:59add all of this to what Ukraine's ingenious secret counter-offensive spells for Putin's Donbass plans,
41:05you get a multi-month campaign that changes everything. But before we get into that,
41:09this is a reminder that you're watching the military show. If you're getting insight from
41:13our channel, don't forget to subscribe and enable notifications so you catch what we have coming next.
41:19The reason why Ukraine's Lehman counter-offensive is so important, beyond what we've already explained,
41:25are multi-layered. And they start with Lehman itself. Russia has wanted that city since the
41:29beginning of the invasion. For a while it even held it. It wasn't until October 2022 that Ukraine's
41:35forces were able to push Russia out of Lehman, thus securing a city that is strategically important both
41:40in isolation and for what it represents to the Donetsk fortress belt. That city hasn't stayed completely
41:46secure. Neither side fully holds Lehman right now. The reason why so much fighting is happening in the
41:51smaller settlements that surround Lehman is that Russia wants to get its hands on a city that serves
41:56as both a rail and road hub for whoever holds it. That's Lehman. Its logistical infrastructure links
42:02supply routes in the northern Donetsk region and onto the front in Luhansk, which is also part of the
42:07Donbass. If Ukraine can fully reclaim and hold Lehman, it can complicate Russia's supply lines and grant
42:12itself a base of operations through which it can start launching more attacks against Russian forces
42:17attempting to advance from the east. For Russia, holding Lehman helps to protect its forces in the
42:22east and also offers a springboard that allows it to pressure the Donetsk fortress cities of Slovyansk
42:27and Kramatorsk. That brings us to the second layer of importance. The link to Slovyansk is vital here.
42:34We've already mentioned that Ukraine's attacks on Russia's salient are designed to stop Russia from
42:38placing pressure on this city. For Ukraine, holding Slovyansk is vital because it's part of what is
42:43known as the fortress belt. This row of four cities, which stretches roughly 50 kilometers from north
42:48to south along the H-20 Konstantinivka-Slovyansk highway, represents the last line of defense Ukraine
42:55has in Donetsk. It's also a lethal line of defense. Ukraine has spent well over a decade fortifying these
43:01cities, turning all four into death traps for Russia's soldiers. That's why Ukraine needs to preserve
43:07Slovyansk. The longer the city stands, the more damage the drone-infested kill zones that surround
43:13Slovyansk can do to Putin's forces. Slovyansk has evolved from a quiet and barely newsworthy
43:19city of 100,000 people into one of the war's key battlegrounds. And even beyond what the city
43:25represents for Donetsk, Slovyansk in particular is important because it's also close to the MO3 highway,
43:31which links Kyiv, Kharkiv and the Russian region of Rostov-on-Don. So if Slovyansk falls,
43:36other Ukrainian regions, including its capital, become more vulnerable. All of this gives more
43:42context to Russia's attempted advances. The pincer Russia is trying to create is aimed at
43:47Slovyansk. For that pincer to be completed, Russia needs to take Liman and the surrounding territory,
43:52allowing it to attack Slovyansk on multiple fronts. Russia is hoping that its enduring
43:57manpower advantage will be enough to overcome Ukraine's superior tactics. Ukraine has responded
44:02to Russia's pushes not only with the counter-offensive we've spoken about here, but also
44:06with a series of strikes behind the lines using mid-range drones. These attacks are weakening the
44:11Russian rear by taking out supply lines, logistical assets, drone launch sites and command and control
44:17locations, thus weakening Russia on the front. And a weakened Russia on the front presents Ukraine
44:22with more opportunities to unleash counter-attacks, just as we've seen in the Liman direction since April.
44:27As we said, there are layers upon layers. And now that Russia is losing ground in the Liman direction,
44:33desperation is starting to set in. Why? Winter is coming. And while that may be good news for Russia's
44:39aerial divisions, which will be preparing ever more intense waves of drone and missile assaults
44:43designed to terrorize Ukraine's civilians and knock out energy infrastructure, the cold weather spells
44:49doom for Russia's forces on the ground. With fall comes what the season was named for,
44:53the falling of leaves from trees. That removes much needed cover for Russian infiltration groups
44:59that are trying to make moves in the Liman and Slovyansk directions. Add the cold weather that
45:04comes with Ukraine's winter months, when temperatures often drop below freezing and you get even more
45:09issues. Staying warm is a problem. Setting fires when trying to hide under non-existent cover is a death
45:15sentence. So what Russia needs now, more than anything, is a fast advance into Liman. Setting up an even
45:21faster advance into Slovyansk so its soldiers don't have to try to survive the winter. Time is running
45:27out for Russia's soldiers. They only have a matter of weeks before the cover starts disappearing and
45:32just a handful of months before the temperatures plunge. That's what makes Ukraine's counter-offensive
45:37in Liman so impressive. What it has done is slow Russia's push toward the fortress belt town,
45:42the point where it's practically certain that Putin's Donetsk forces are going to face another harsh winter
45:47of being ordered to launch assaults when they're far more vulnerable than they are in the spring
45:51and summer months. It wasn't supposed to be like this for Russia. The Donbass was supposed to have
45:56fallen long before now. Instead, Russia now faces the almost certain prospect of failing to capture
46:02the Donbass by the end of 2026 and very likely a lot more fighting and death in 2027. We know
46:09that
46:09Russia expected to have already captured the Donbass because of the series of deadlines that Putin has set
46:14for his forces in the region. In an August 25 article, the Kyiv Post points out that Russia has
46:19set and missed a total of 15 deadlines and counting for the capture of the Donbass since the full-scale
46:25invasion was launched. For just a sample of the most recent of those deadlines, Russia's military
46:30commanders were telling Putin in August 2025 that Donbass would fall by October or November. That didn't
46:36happen. They then started telling him that Donbass would be fully captured by the middle of 2026.
46:42Russia hasn't even come close. Now those commanders are saying the winter will be when the Donbass falls.
46:47If what has happened in the Lehman direction during the last few months is an indicator,
46:51that deadline will fly by with no Donbass for Russia as well.
46:54The math absolutely doesn't play out in Russia's favor. For a start, Russia holds 79.89% of Donetsk,
47:02which is the region that needs to fall for the Donbass to be claimed. That amounts to 21,170 square
47:07kilometers, much of which was captured in the early months of the war. Russia's advance has been glacial
47:13since then. The 20 or so percent Donetsk left to claim includes the fortress belt we've discussed,
47:19which is the single most dangerous part of Donetsk for Russian forces to assault.
47:23And that 20% or so amounts to 5,330 square kilometers per an August 23rd ISW campaign assessment.
47:31So we have the key number. We know how much of Donetsk Russia has left to capture.
47:36Now let's look at Russia's rate of advance. In its August 22nd campaign assessment,
47:41the ISW reports that Russia has only managed to capture 8.52 square kilometers of Ukraine
47:46so far this month, assuming we don't count infiltration efforts, which aren't territory
47:51captures. That gives us a daily advance of 0.39 square kilometers, with 2026 in general seeing
47:57Russia's advances decline as time has gone on, along with Ukraine carrying out its counter-offensives
48:03to retake territory. A little bit of napkin math shows us that things aren't looking good for any
48:08Donbass deadlines that the Kremlin sets in the near future. At a rate of 0.39 square kilometers per day,
48:14it would take Russia over 13,660 days to take the territory that's left in Donetsk.
48:21That's about 37.4 years. Yeah, so the end of 2026 is not looking too hopeful, Putin. Of course,
48:27a single month of figures doesn't reflect the ebbs and flows of the battlefield or the changes that are sure
48:32to come in the future. However, what shows us is that Russia's campaign for Donetsk is failing bad.
48:38Taking the region by the end of 2026 looks impossible. According to the ISW, Russia has
48:44stalled in Liman, Konstantinivka and Dobropylia. No confirmed advances are being recorded. Ukraine's
48:50mid-range strikes aren't slowing down and the territory that Ukraine is retaking in the Liman
48:54direction only makes things worse for Russia. 2026 is a no-go. Unless something drastically changes,
49:012027 isn't looking too good for Russia either. As Euromiden Press reports, the pace that Russia
49:06was setting earlier in August means that Putin's troops won't be taking Donetsk by the end of 2027
49:12either. If anything, all Russia is doing now is setting itself up for many more months in which
49:17it loses tens of thousands of soldiers by forcing them into assaults against Ukraine's dangerous
49:22defenses. All of this brings us back to what Ukraine has pulled off in Liman. These weren't just
49:27secret counter-attacks. They were setups for everything that we've seen happening in Donetsk
49:31since the spring. A Russian salient has been dented which helps to protect Slovyansk. The
49:37fortress belt that was supposed to be under serious pressure by now still stands strong.
49:41Whatever plans Putin had for celebrating the capture of the Donbass in 2026 have evaporated.
49:46And as we speak, Ukraine's Liman push is ongoing. If Milan is correct, we're going to get more
49:52direct confirmation of all of this from Ukraine itself in the coming weeks. But even without it,
49:57the maps tell the tale. Ukraine unleashed something that Putin and his commanders never expected in
50:02Liman. Now Russia's Donetsk forces are paying the price. While we await more information from Ukraine
50:08about the Liman counter-offensive, why not dig a little deeper into the Oleksandrovka counter-attacks
50:12that have liberated 745 square kilometers in 2026? Our video explores those counter-attacks and why they
50:20matter, so check it out next. But before you go, subscribe and tell us what you think in the
