President Zelensky just delivered a powerful message to Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. And he did it from the front lines of the war where Ukraine just won a major battle against Russia. You saw Zelinsky there at Kupiansk, the front lines. He was so close to where the Russian forces were trying to advance. While the Ukrainian drone army over the past three days repelled Russia's elite 76th Air Assault Division. The Ukrainian army, filled with these advanced drones, pummeled Putin. Now, Putin previously said that he controlled this region of Kupiansk. He said it was his on November 20. And the top Russian general says Kupiansk has fallen. The Russians have control. On December 2, Vladimir Putin said, we invite the foreign media to see Kupiansk. And on December 12th you had President Zelensky on the front line saying hello from coupian Donald, hello from poo coupian Putin. And you saw Zelinsky right there delivering that message. So let's talk about what went down. And you have Donald Trump and Putin trying to recalibrate. You've got Trump saying, you know, 82% of Ukrainians are want to settle right now and give all of eastern Ukraine to Russia. Actually, Donald, the poll that you're thinking of is 82% of Ukrainians want to fight for their survival against Russia and you and the rest of the Putin bootleggers. Okay, let's talk about what went down over the past 72 hours. So you know the background here, right? That Donald Trump and Putin have been trying to get Zelinsky to surrender before Christmas. And Trump and Putin have tried everything. They laundered a 28 point plan of surrender, Boom. Zelinsky and the Europeans expose that. Then they have a plan where Donald Trump's like, just give up all of don boss and give up all of Zaprezia or else. And Zelinsky's like, now I'm going to speak with our allies in the Europe, not America anymore because screw you guys. And he met with Keir starmer in the UK and McCrone and Chancellor Mertz. And then he went to other places in Europe where he met with Mark Rut, the Secretary General. They built a strength and understanding together and push back against what Trump and Putin were trying to do. Now, when Trump and Putin were trying to put this pressure on you had Putin trying to launch this sneak attack using his elite 76th Air Assault Division which has been trying to push forward about three days ago. In particular though, they launched a sneak attack and Ukraine repelled them. As Jay and keeps us for context, Russia's 76th Air Assault Division that has now been decimated, essentially completely destroyed by Ukraine is their most elite unit. It's sometimes compared to America's 101st Airborne Division. And in only three days time, it has been essentially wiped out by Ukraine's newly minted unmanned system forces, the usf. And you see photos right here. This was probably one of the biggest battles in the war to date in terms of the utter humiliation for Putin and Zelensky. Zelensky showing his utter strength right here. Here's how it's being reported elsewhere. Ukrainian drones wipe out Russian manpower equivalent to two battalions in just 48 hours. A commander says Russia's 76 Guard air assault Division redeployed in the Donetsk oblast reportedly suffered the heaviest losses under Ukrainian drone strikes in recent history. There, on December 10, Ukrainian troops first repelled the Russian mechanized assault conducted by the 76th Division. The began in the morning with Russian troops attempting to exploit poor weather conditions to advance toward Povrosk. The mechanized columns advance from the south toward the northern outskirts of the city, where Ukrainian troops were destroyed most of the Russian equipment and troops. As Sprovdi writes, the agent Russian dictator thought that he had a winning idea, a big propaganda win going into the holiday season, that likely he was coordinating with Donald Trump. And Witkoff and Kushner, they would send that elite 76th air assault to clean house near Provost. But sadly for that old kleptocrat, things are not working out with Ukraine's unmanned system forces now liquidating Russians at a record rate. An absolute massacre. And take a look at Zelensky right there on the front lines. And I can't help but think about the contrast here with Zelensky on the front lines of the war. I mean, he's right. I mean literally front lines. Not like, oh, well, he's close to war. No, no, that's where the war is. And he's standing there strong and proud with his troops. So those were the photos coming out of Ukraine. Contrast those to the photos coming out of Washington, D.C. today as the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee released more photos linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, his former best friend. So, on the one hand, you have Zelensky projecting courage. On the other hand, you have Donald Trump showing the perversion that is Trump and this disgusting maga mov movement of his. You've got Donald Trump and young girls with their faces redacted because they're likely Epstein survivors. You've got Donald Trump and like, what do they call this? They call it extreme restraints. Pussy pumps. Uh, what else is Donald Trump? Trump Condoms. These bizarre gloves that are used for some sexual purpose. Jawbreaker gags with terms and conditions. That's what's coming out of the White House. Perverts. Ppp pedo protection program. Perverts. While you have Zelensky standing strong and proud and courageous. Want to see what these perverts in Washington, D.C. have been doing as well? Well, the Trump regime joined forces just the other day as Zelensky is showing strength. The perverts in the Trump regime, they were joining forces with Belarus, China, Cuba and North Korea to vote against a UN Resolution on strengthening international cooper and coordination of efforts to study, mitigate, and minimize the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. And it's spelled Chernobyl. The Ukrainian spelling, not the Russian spelling. That's one of the reasons that Trump and Russia voted against it. The other reason is because it mitigates the effects of its impact on Ukraine. So it's a way to help Ukraine deal with Russia's negligence, maliciousness, despicable conduct. So Trump and Russia voted against a resolution that would be favorable to Ukraine and the rest of the world that cares about democracy voted with Ukraine, but Trump voted against it.

Now, again, as I said at the outset of this video, all of this was planned, right? Russia sending in its 76th, in my opinion, coordinated with the Trump Putin plan to try to force a surrender on Ukraine. And they wanted to do it right before the holiday season. As Donald Trump is also getting ready to invade Venezuela. You see what's happening. This is what Trump views as his spheres of influence. America conquers the Western hemisphere. Russia, you take all of Europe and take Ukraine. China, you've got Taiwan, you've got Asia. That was in Donald Trump's national security strategy. Hello. That says spheres of influence. Listen to what Rubio said before. And so this was all being planned. Trump's going to do Venezuela. You go finish, conquering Ukraine, Trump puts the pressure on Zelinsky. But Zelensky and those that drone army of his pushed back. So Trump gave Zelensky an ultimatum. You better respond in days or else Ukraine is gone. Boom. The 76th of Russia, their most elite unit, sneaks in. Zelensky repels them, says, screw you. Meanwhile, you have Lavrov, you have Putin's Lavrov, the foreign minister, saying that Russia and the US have agreed in Alaska that Ukraine belongs to us non aligned, neutral, non nuclear. And then you have Donald Trump saying that Zelensky needs to be realistic. They're losing a huge number of people. 82% of Ukrainians are demanding that Zelinsky make a settlement with Putin and give up all of eastern Ukraine. Trump is literally spewing the Putin talking points. The 82% of Ukrainians don't want Zelinsky to give up. Quite the contrary. They want the fight. But here's what Donald Trump said. Play this clip.
D
I think he has to be realistic. And I do wonder about, you know, how long is it going to be till they have an election. It's democracy. It's a long time. They haven't had an election in a long time. It's losing a lot of people. And it's possible that the people, you know, if you look at the polls, I will say 82%. There was a poll came out, 82% of the people are demanding a settlement be made. Ukrainian people, they want to see a settlement. I understand that. They're losing thousands and thousands of people a week. They want to see it ended.
C
Poll reveals 82% of Ukrainians actually support continuing fighting against Russia even without U.S. support. Even without U.S. support. 82% say we fight. We don't give up our land. We don't give up eastern Ukraine. We're not Putin bootlickers. We're not perverts like Donald Trump. And the PPP, the Pedoprotection Program in Washington D.C. as Richard Woodruff says, Zelensky is the. He quotes Trump here where Trump says Zelensky is the only one who doesn't like the peace plan. And Woodruff goes, as someone on the ground in Ukraine, I can confirm Zelensky is the only one who doesn't like the peace plan because the rest of us effing hate it. And the Orange man, stupid face. Here's what Donald Trump said in the Oval Office heading into the weekend, other than Zelensky is. People love the concept of a deal. Trump always talks about concepts of a deal. They, they love the concept of a deal. And Trump's like, it's very complicated. It's like a real estate deal. Y' all gotta. You gotta give this land. You gotta. Trump has no clue what the hell he's talking about. He's a freaking idiot. Here, play this clip.
D
The security agreement, basically, that they call it the security. Yeah. We would help. We would help with security because it's, I think, a necessary factor in getting it done. I thought that we were very close with Russia to having a deal. I thought we were very close with Ukraine to having a deal. In fact, other than President Zelensky, his people loved the concept of the deal. You know, we threw something out. Is this the four part deal that you. Well, there's four or five different parts. It's, you know, a little bit complicated because you're cutting up land in a certain way. It's not the easiest thing. It's sort of like a complex real estate deal times a thousand. Right. But it's a deal that would have stopped the killing of thousands of lives every month. Thousands and thousands of lives. Mostly soldiers, but as you know, there's some bombers.
C
Now, let's talk about what else Zelensky is saying. He says the following. Today we are in the Kharkiv region. I visited the guys in Kupiansk front lines, congratulated them on Land Forces Day, and presented them with state awards. For a long time, the Russians boasted that they had captured our Kupiansk, our Kupians, the Ukrainians. Slava, Ukraine. The Russians have long been telling everyone in the world that Ukraine is supposedly weak. They are lying. You are strong. Ukraine is defending its position. And the stronger our defense on the front line, the stronger our positions will be in negotiations. Ukraine is doing everything to end the war with dignity and respect for our warriors, for our entire state, and for every hero of ours who gave their life defending Ukraine. Our memory of Ukrainian heroes is a key part of our negotiating stance. Ukraine must be respected. Glory to the Ukrainian warriors. Glory to Ukraine. Powerful, powerful words right there. And I will leave you with this. You then had NATO's Secretary General, Mark Rut, at the most recent Munich security conference just this past week. And he said, winter is coming. Specifically, he said, war is coming. If we don't stand up right now and assert our authority as NATO, as Europe. We need to be ready for the type of war our grandparents fought in World War II and World War I, because that's what's coming. He says Russia wants that. Right now, they're ready to invade the way Nazi Germany did. And anyone who aids and abets that is aiding and abetting a world war. And this is what Secretary General Mark Rudd of NATO had to say. Play this clip.
F
We need to be ready. Because at the end of this first quarter of the 21st century, conflicts are no longer fought at arm's length. Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great grandparents endured. Imagine it, a conflict reaching every home, every workplace destruction, mass mobilization, millions displaced, widespread suffering and extreme losses. It is a terrible thought. But if we deliver on our commitments, this is a tragedy we can prevent. NATO is here to protect 1 billion people on both sides of the Atlantic. Our mission is to protect you, your families, your friends, and your future. We cannot let down our guard. And we won't.

In this episode, the Meiselas brothers dive into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's forceful message directed at both Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, delivered dramatically from Ukraine’s front lines. The episode contrasts Zelenskyy’s courage with Trump’s actions and rhetoric regarding the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Through detailed analysis, the brothers expose misinformation surrounding the conflict, the reality of the recent Ukrainian military success, and the broader implications for global democracy.

Throughout, the episode is marked by the brothers’ characteristic banter, biting sarcasm, and outspoken pro-democracy values. They blend humor with sharp, unapologetic analysis and make no secret of their disdain for the Trump-Putin axis.
This episode sharply highlights the dichotomy between Zelenskyy’s hands-on wartime leadership and Donald Trump’s self-interested, often misleading commentary. The Meiselas brothers offer a thorough, evidence-based critique of U.S. political maneuvering, European support for Ukraine, and the global democratic stakes at risk. With direct quotes, fact-checks, and passionate rhetoric, they call on their audience to remain vigilant, informed, and engaged—a resounding endorsement of standing up to autocracy.
