EXPOSED: Putin's double HUMILIATION - Kupiansk flop and losses in Pokrovsk | Battle Plans

In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, military expert Philip Ingram MBE analyses the high-stakes shifts of 2026. As the war enters its fifth year, Putin's "special military operation" has now officially outlasted Russia's involvement in WWII (the Great Patriotic War)—a psychological blow to the Kremlin's narrative.

Ingram breaks down the evolution of the battlefield, from Russian troops forced back onto horseback due to logistics failures to the terrifying new "pipeline offensives" in Kupiansk. We also look at the massive political shakeup in Kyiv, where spy master Kyrylo Budanov takes on a pivotal new role as Chief of Staff, and how a €90 billion European funding injection is set to reshape the conflict.
