Ukraine Warns That Putin is Readying Massive Offensive to Capture Kiev and Odessa, Iran Says No Deal
"I'm told by my reliable sources that it was just an attempt to kill Zelensky and a plot was discovered by the SBU. That's the Ukrainian secret police, with the help, I assume, of MI6, which is heavily represented in the headquarters. To kill Zelensky, and this has failed. And 7 people were rounded up and promptly shot who apparently were part of this attempt."
Colonel MacGregor revealed insider information about a failed assassination attempt against Ukrainian President Zelensky by his own government officials. At least one Ukrainian intelligence officer was among seven people allegedly executed after the plot was discovered, reflecting internal despair within Ukraine's leadership over the war's trajectory and Zelensky's refusal to hold elections.

About this episode

On this episode of Redacted, hosts Clayton and Natalie Morris examined escalating tensions in two major conflicts and the accelerating digital surveillance state. The episode opened with breaking analysis from Colonel Douglas MacGregor, who revealed that Russian President Putin has authorized the General Staff to plan decisive offensives to capture both Odessa and Kiev, effectively abandoning hopes for negotiated settlement after disappointment with Trump's Alaska meeting. MacGregor disclosed insider information about a failed assassination plot against Zelensky by Ukrainian officials, with seven people allegedly executed after discovery by the SBU. He described the Ukrainian military leadership as visibly demoralized and exhausted, contradicting Western media narratives that Ukraine is winning. The conversation covered Putin's declaration that all territory from Kharkiv to Odessa is the final objective, which would leave Ukraine landlocked. The show then pivoted to domestic surveillance with privacy expert Maria Z analyzing the Kids Act, which just passed the House of Representatives. Despite claims it doesn't mandate age verification, the legislation creates legal liability that effectively forces platforms to implement identification systems. Maria Z warned this is part of coordinated global rollout happening simultaneously across Western nations, with over 80 digital ID bills currently active at US state level. She revealed Meta's new brain-reading technology and warned that pairing thought-decoding with real-time biometric verification creates unprecedented surveillance capability. The episode concluded with journalist Derek Brose reporting from Mexico on a rare victory against technocracy: up to 100 million Mexicans refused to register their phones with biometric data, forcing the government to delay enforcement. The episode emphasized that collective non-compliance can work, even after laws pass, offering a roadmap for resistance.
