All Hell Breaks as Kyiv and Moscow Burn

Russia has launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine, deploying 20 ballistic and cruise missiles—including advanced Garrett-4 and Garrett-5 drones—targeting cities like Keeve, Zapprezia, and Sumi, resulting in civilian casualties and mass sheltering in metro stations. In response, Ukraine has intensified its counter-attacks, striking key Russian infrastructure such as an oil refinery in Moscow and a major fuel hub in Sochi. President Zelensky emphasized Ukraine’s limited defense capabilities, citing a dramatic drop in drone interception rates due to the sophistication of Russian drones and the lack of U.S.-promised interceptors. Meanwhile, Iran is reportedly seeking access to these Russian drones, signaling deeper military cooperation ahead of a bilateral meeting at the CIS summit. The attacks on civilian ships off Romania and Bulgaria suggest a pattern of hybrid warfare, with no formal NATO response despite violations of maritime zones. Political concerns grow over U.S. ties with Russian-aligned regimes, including the involvement of Trump-linked operatives in Bosnia, and the absence of meaningful defense support for Ukraine. Critics argue that the Trump administration’s policies have enabled and normalized aggressive military actions, including attacks on civilian infrastructure, and have created a dangerous precedent for future conflicts. The situation reflects a broader escalation in asymmetric warfare, with Russia, Ukraine, and North Korea all advancing in ballistic and drone capabilities.

All hell is breaking loose as Russia has been reigning down ballistic missiles on Keeve. Let me show you what took place moments ago. Let's play this clip. Here's another angle of some direct hits by Russian ballistic missiles in Keeve. Let's play it. Now with the ballistic missile alert sounding throughout Keeve, you have a lot of residents now living in the underground metro area. Let me show you what it looks like right now in Keeve, let's play this clip. Here is another angle of the metro station where people are sleeping in the metro stations or they're sleeping in underground garages in order to try to avoid these deadly ballistic missile strikes. One after the other, here play this clip. Now I'll show you what it looked like earlier in the day in Odessa. This is a Russian Shaheed drone attacking a civilian convoy of vehicles on the Odessa highway. The vehicles were heading towards the borders of Europe. According to local media, let me show you what that looked like right here. Now we're getting some information about these specific type of ballistic and cruise missiles and also drones that have been used by Russia in this strike in a moment. I'll show you how Zelensky has responded striking in Moscow, striking in other areas in Russia. Here's what we want to talk about though. Now the following missiles and ballistics and cruise missiles and drones were launched by Russia. Six iskender and ballistic missiles, six K and 23 ballistic missiles, four onigms, supersonic cruise missiles, sevens, micron hypersonic cruise missiles, so 20 missiles in total and dozens and dozens of Shaheed drones and Garen-4 and Garen-5 drones. You can see over here the missile flight routes that Russia was using when they were sending off these ballistic missiles striking Keeve. They also struck Zapprezia. 47-year-old man was killed. I'll show you what the scenes looked like outside of Zapprezia and also Russia hit Sumi near a shopping center. One person killed. Show you this video footage of the plane. Now President Zelensky of Ukraine posted the following video message. We've got updated intel on Russia's preparations for a massive strike. I ask you please to take care of yourselves and respond to missile threat alerts. Ukrainian services and our Air Force are ready to respond as much as our defense allow and a lot depends on our partners every country in the world that has the defensive capabilities we need and can provide them to us. It's very important that there be the political will to do this particularly in the United States and Europe. And just as Zelensky was saying that we learned about this meeting by Trump political operatives and Russian operatives as well. The two top Trump advisors James Blair and Chris Lassevita traveled to Bosnia's Republic Asperska to provide election advice to its Russian align government while also simultaneously leading Republican efforts for the U.S. midterms the pair were reportedly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars each through a Washington law firm. Republic Asperska led politically by Mila Rododik's nationalist party has cultivated close ties with Putin while also courting Trump and his allies Trump linked lobbyists and operatives have received more than $4 million from Republic Asperska's government since early 2025. And Donald Trump was asked if he's going to be speaking with Putin soon about a number of topics including the fact that another individual seems to have died of the plague in Serbia. Sorry in Siberia at a lab that was taking a bio lab there in Siberia. Here's what Donald Trump says he says he has a call with Putin very soon let's play this clip. Now the U.S. State Department has issued a level four travel advisory for Americans to not travel to Russia after pneumonic plague death stare quote U.S. citizens currently in Russia should depart immediately U.S. citizens planning to travel to Russia are again strongly advised to not to travel to Russia going back to Zelensky statements here for a moment I find the language that he used notable. He says we're going to defend ourselves as much as our defenses allow what he means by that is Ukraine doesn't have interceptors doesn't have the pack threes doesn't have the that interceptors the Trump regime promised it to Ukraine never gave it never gave interceptor licenses that were promised to Zelensky and then the Garrett Ford Garrett five drones by Russia are these highly advanced jet powered or jet fuel drones much harder to shoot down Ukraine used to be able to shoot down these Shahed drones at a 90% interception rate and right now they can only knock down these Garrett Ford new Russian drones at about a 51% interception rate and then the Garin fives a much less interception rate we're talking probably 30% 20% maybe even less because those Garin fives are almost more of a cruise missile than a drone also we've learned that Iran has been asking Russia for those Garin for and Garin five which is interesting because Russia used to be using all of the Iranian Shahids then they used the Shahid base to upgrade to Garin four and so it's basically an upgraded Shahid and we do know that a major meeting will be taking place between Russia and Iran in the coming days Russia's president Putin and Iranian president Dr. Pazeskin will be meeting Friday on the sidelines of the CIS summit that's the council of the head of state Commonwealth of independent states the CIS is a regional organization of former Soviet republics formed in 1991 that coordinates political economic security and cultural cooperation Iran has been invited as like an honorary guest they'll be participating in the sidelines but folks Zalinsky's not just sitting back and taking it I mean Ukraine striking back pretty hard as well although let's be clear Kiev is under a massive bombardment but take a look right here of the massive fire reported in the Russian Black Sea port city of Sochi during the evening local channels report that a ship exploded in the port area over there I'll show you more footage of what it looks like indeed very apocalyptic I mean take a look I'll just keep on showing some more b-roll there and we are learning this as well there there did appear to be more strikes off the coast of a NATO member yet again so two days ago we reported how a tanker or a large vessel that was carrying Ukrainian grain which struck off the coast of Romania no invocation of article four or five of NATO even though Romania is a NATO member and it was in NATO's economic zone and yesterday morning two commercial ships were hit by drones off Bulgaria sinking one in the first reported attack on shipping in Bulgaria's economic zone the Togo flagged alpha-watt and sank about 70 nautical miles off Bulgaria with its crew still missing the second vessel able caught fire and its 18 crew were rescued some injured the origin of the drones remain unknown officially although I think it's pretty clear that it's Russian drones but no one wants to say that because then you would have to invoke article four and five and I think there's a lot of questions about how article four and five could be invoked when the United States the one of the main members if not the main member of NATO seems to be more interested in attacking NATO and sending political operatives to help Putin and trying to do deals with Putin for like luke oil like the Russian oil company international assets than anything else Zalinsky posted our intelligence and special services are now working to establish all available information about yet another attack in the black sea targeting civilian vessels two civilian vessels were attacked in Bulgarian waters one sank while the other sustains significant damage and they believe Zalinsky believes it's part of Russia's effort I made this little map here this is where the blue X is where a vessel was struck off the coast of Romania and its economic zone the black sea look at Bulgaria where two tankers were struck believed to be by Russian drones although Russia isn't saying that they did it and where this is what is being referred to as the so-called hybrid warfare that we're seeing another video here of residents of Kiev sheltering at underground metro stations following Zalinsky's warning let me show you what this looks like over here let's play it Now I'll show you this graph. The monthly missile in drone strikes on Ukraine and Russia since the beginning of 2022. The main increase has been observed since the beginning of 2026. You can see Ukraine increasing its drone strikes deep in Russia. You can see Russia significantly more drone strikes in Ukraine. But take a look right over here. I mean, you really see the acceleration during the Trump regime presidency. And then over the past year, you've seen that accelerate. And one of the reasons I attribute to that as well, not just as Donald Trump's weakness. But I think that Donald Trump has created a permission structure for just all out catastrophic war on civilian infrastructure. The way Donald Trump handled the catastrophic war in Iran and the United States lost to Iran, but Trump blowing up bridges and civilian infrastructure and slaughtering little children, Donald Trump taking over Venezuela and stealing its resources, even though the people of Venezuela, you know, are still suffering. And frankly, there's not more resources that are being extracted than before. But Trump is, you know, I want that. I want that. You know, so he has a Katari bank account where, you know, some of this money's being funneled. He claims that there's a 65 billion barrel oil deal that may be hypothetically happening sometime in the future. But we don't believe that you can't extract that Venezuelan viscous sour dense oil for a very long period of time. It wouldn't even go into our strategic petroleum reserves. And a lot of American oil companies don't want to do business over there. It's why the Trump regime had to create its own Trump state oil company within the Pentagon to do a deal with one of these, you know, Venezuelan oligarch types, who's responsible for all those power outages there. Just the level of corruption is just next level. We're getting more footage as well over here. What are we looking at over here? Ukrainian drones attacking Moscow's oil refinery. A big one too. Russia's Boulder Sky LPDs, a major storage and distribution hub supplying jet fuel diesel and gasoline for the Russian capital. You can see it over here as the facility burns. And I'll show you just another angle of the Ukrainian drones attacking that Moscow oil refinery. You can see it for yourself. Let's play that clip right here. Let's play it. Yeah, so a lot of developments happening. And by the way, in the that very first image that I showed you that first video, those are North Korean ballistic missiles that are striking down on Kiev. And that's part of North Korea's alliance with Russia. I should note that yesterday Donald Trump was giving one of his deranged speeches at the Naval shipyard in Baltimore, where they want to build Trump battleships and these massive nuclear submarines and everything. And it's just like, you know, wasting our taxpayer dollars on things when it's obvious the war of the future is being fought today with these ballistics and these guarantors and these cruise missiles. Then North Korea and Russia and Ukraine, they're really developing these weapons of the future. And so you see them all here. I'm looking at you posted every step of the way. Hit subscribe.
