12:05He examines plans to route evacuated Ukrainian civilians through Krasnodar and Belarus.

"They're churning water when it comes to territorial control," Preston Stewart says, using battlefield maps to explain his assessment of Russia's advance in Ukraine.

"The Russian Army is Stuck in Ukraine" was the most watched of his four uploads this week, reaching roughly 368,000 views. Stewart follows Ukrainian counterattacks near Kostyantynivka and reports around Velyka Novosilka before turning to a different kind of movement: civilians leaving Oleshky during a local humanitarian ceasefire. He examines the proposed evacuation route through Krasnodar and Belarus, rather than treating the announcement as the end of the story.

His follow-up, "Russia Just Had Its WORST Month of the War," carries the strongest momentum now. In it, Stewart argues that limited Russian territorial gains in October matter beyond the battlefield because they could shape negotiations. That is his central thread across the week's Ukraine coverage: what can military pressure actually accomplish?

An interview with Armen Akopian of the 18th Sloviansk Brigade brings that question down to defensive positions and logistics around the Donetsk front. Elsewhere, Stefano Rittondale, introduced as Artorias's chief intelligence officer and the person behind All Source News, joins Stewart to discuss the military response to a Coast Guard vessel coming under fire at the US southern border.

The channel added about 2.4 million views over the week while its subscriber count held steady. Daily viewing is moderately above its usual level. Among nearby military and geopolitics channels, Max Afterburner had a much larger week for views, while BFBS Forces News also drew a substantial weekly audience. For Stewart, the freshest viewing is concentrated on the October battlefield assessment and the brigade interview.
