Putin just said the most insane thing

By Caolan Robertson · September 2, 2026

Things in Ukraine have started moving very quickly again.

Strikes on Kyiv are intensifying. Modi has publicly pushed Putin on ending the war. Putin is reportedly increasingly worried about what happens if he can’t claim some kind of victory in Donbas. And it feels like, politically and militarily, everything is accelerating at once.

Since I finished making this video, Zelensky has also issued an extraordinary warning that Russia’s own airspace could effectively begin closing as Ukrainian drone operations intensify. So I have a feeling the next few days are going to be very interesting.

In this video, I try to break down what has happened over the last 48 hours and, more importantly, what it might actually mean.

To help make sense of it, I also sat down with my good friend Bill Browder, who has spent decades studying Putin, the Kremlin and Russian society, and has a fascinating perspective on where all of this could be heading.

I really hope you enjoy the video.
