Russia Threatens Nukes—Zelensky Heads to the Front

Russia is threatening NATO with nuclear weapons over Kaliningrad. Meanwhile, Zelensky is meeting frontline commanders about what their soldiers actually need: pickup trucks, drones, artillery, and support. I examine that contrast in leadership—and Ukraine’s reported recovery of 125 square kilometers in the Lyman sector. In this September 30 Ukraine war update, I also cover reports of starvation in occupied Oleshky and one mother’s escape, Estonia’s attribution of a sabotage attack to Russian intelligence, and reported plots against Kremlin critics abroad. I examine Daniel Fried’s explanation of sanctions leverage, bipartisan opposition to possible Russian sanctions relief, and the question that matters: will Washington use the pressure available to it?
