Russians DEMAND Putin to FLEE to North Korea

80,000 wildberries workers are not happy with Putin right now, and they may not be the only ones. Because Russians are now openly criticizing the swore on camera, and some of them are even proving the identities first, they're telling Putin to leave the country and go live in North Korea. You see, Ukrainian strikes inside of Russia are doing damage, Putin never thought he would have to deal with. Russia's refining output just collapsed to a level the country hasn't seen, since Putin became really Putin. All that progress that he made in the 2000s is now disappearing in front of our eyes. Russia is heading back to the 90s. I guess he's truly rebuilding the Soviet Union. He's literally taking the country back in time. To make matters worse for Moscow, Ukraine has now launched new weapons, new missiles and new drones are coming on to the battlefield, and Russian war bloggers are in full panic mode. The Russian casualties are out of control, and the situation is going to keep getting worse if Ukraine keeps on innovating. As you guys know, my name is Sam, you're watching Business Basics, and let's get into all of this. Now, I want to show you guys the wildberry workers who are now losing their jobs because of Putin. But first, I have to show you guys this clip of Putin's convoy trying to get supplies onto the front lines. And as you guys know, according to Ukraine's Operation Lockdown, that's a no-no. So let's take a look at this clip. Now, as you guys know, because of Operation Lockdown, the highway has become highway of death. And now we can see why. To get around Ukrainian drones, Russia has sent three air defense vehicles. So the black circles, those are air defense vehicles. You can see one on the front, one in the middle, and one in the end. And with these three air defense vehicles, Russia has sent three fuel tankers or fuel trucks, whatever you want to call them. In the red, you can see the fuel truck. Unfortunately, it seems like it was a waste of time sending their air defenses because they did not do anything. Take a look. Here's what I mean. Seems like their defense truck was just watching the movie. He was just enjoying the scenery. It didn't seem like he did anything. I'm pretty sure all the other ones are now running away. But it's not gonna be a pretty sight for them either. And that's the second one. Not good success rate. Now, as if this couldn't get any worse for Russia. There was another fuel convoy that came down this exact same road right afterwards. And it captured everything that went down, the whole aftermath. And of course, the Russian driver was commentating the whole thing. So I don't have to do it for you guys. Just take a listen and take a look. The road to Melito pole. We have to travel like this now, accompanied by a mobile fire group. It's safer this way. More secure. So this is what we've come to. Look at us now. 2026, escorted by a mobile fire group. The price. This is what our little work trips look like these days. They just fucking burned one. There was a strike. It's burning. Here's another one. It burned today. It's still smoking over there. That's a military-year-old truck. And over there in the distance, they burned another one. Something's burning. Some kind of vehicle too. Some kind of equipment. Donetsk-star-o-beche-vi-highway. There's another one over there. They burned this fuel truck today. Now, these are what I would call middle-range strikes. Or I guess that's what everyone is calling them. Not really me. And Ukraine has been using these to hit supply lines to make it harder for Russia to feed its frontline troops. And of course, its occupied territories. But again, that does not mean Ukraine has given up on long-range strikes inside of Russia. Those have continued too. And those are the reason behind why 80,000 workers are now pissed at Putin. Let me show you what I mean. Those 80,000 workers work at Wallberries warehouses. And once I show you the recent strikes, I think you'll get the picture. Just yesterday morning, Ukraine hit another Wallberries warehouse this time in St. Petersburg. An economist are not saying that if this campaign continues, it could push the Russian economy into a full crisis. We have a footage of the strike happening in real time. And there is a PSA I have to say before I show you this footage. This may be the last footage we get out of these Wallberry warehouses that are burning down. Because the company has implemented a new policy. It's now banning employees from having their phones on the job. I'm guessing they're doing this because they don't want footage like this coming out. So take a look and enjoy. And of course, here's our bingo cart. You can see this facility was a top 10 Wallberries facility in terms of its size. It was number six right here in the Leningrad region. And of course, just a quick Russia lesson. St. Petersburg used to be called Leningrad. That's the city. But the region itself, like the state area is also called Leningrad. And this warehouse was near the city of St. Petersburg. Its size was roughly 150,000 square meters. That's roughly 20 football fields just for you to visualize. And on top of that, the newest section of this warehouse just finished building in March of 2026. So just a few months ago, and I don't think they got a lot of use out of it. And remember, these are like Amazon. This is basically Russia's Amazon. And what that means is this company invested a lot of money in this warehouse. And it was hoping to make that money back over its lifetime. Maybe it's 20 years, 25 years, 30 years. I don't exactly know. But it put in a lot of money hoping to make a profit down the line. And now that the warehouse is destroyed, I'm guessing it's going to count it as a loss. So not good news anyway. Take a look at the fire that was burning after the strike. So on your screen, you see a graphic that shows all the strikes that have taken place against wildberry warehouses. 13 in total. And in the top left, you can see the strike that we just saw. That was the cross knee bore. Well, that strike affected 7,500 people. Those were the workers who were employed at their warehouse. Now, that's just one facility. If we zoom out, we can see 13 facilities have been destroyed. And if we add up all the people working at all these places, that's 82,000 people who are probably out of a job. And of course, that's not good news for any leader. Now, to be fair, let's go back to our bingo card because I want to point out something. Not all of these facilities have been completely destroyed. Roughly three of them were hit, but they weren't completely destroyed just damaged. So that 80,000 number maybe a small over estimate if we just look at the wildberries warehouse workers, but not by much. And on top of that, we have to keep in mind that it's not just the workers who are working in the warehouse that are getting affected. There are sellers who used to sell on the platforms, sell on Russia's Amazon, who are now being affected because warehouses are not operational. People can order something, but if they don't get it, the company wildberries is not going to make money. And that means sellers who are selling on wildberries are not going to make money. Now, because of these strikes, a big portion of the Russian society is mad, including those sellers that we just talked about. And of course, Russian propagandist who won Russia to win this war, but doesn't look like things are going according to plan. Now, before we talk about those propagandists, let me show you this clip from a wildberry seller who's talking about how he has to shut down his business, lay off people because of this. Take a listen. What do we have today? Another warehouse. I don't even want to talk about it anymore. We're going under with wildberries. We don't even count our losses anymore. Yeah, we're going under. We stopped counting our losses a long time ago. I don't know if we'll be able to push off from this bottom anymore. Either everything will shut down or something will change. I just don't know yet. Restructure. Something has to be restructured. I don't even know yet how all of this will work out. We'll see. Time will tell, guys. The most important thing, guys, is take care of your nerves. Take care of your nerves because nerve cells don't regenerate. And that's your health. Yeah, in this situation, there's nothing we can do anymore. Yes, there's nothing we can do to change this situation anymore. And here we have the complete estimate of exactly how much damage these strikes are doing to the Russian economy. And important to point out here that these estimates are coming from Russian sources. Because keep in mind, Ukrainians, there are in a fight for their life, fight for their land against Russia. So Ukrainians have a habit of overestimating things. They usually try to lean towards the high end of any estimate, which makes sense. If I was defending my country, I would do the same thing. But Russians, on the other hand, don't have an incentive to overblow any crisis. In fact, you can argue that Russians, especially Russians who are living in Russia, they probably have an incentive to, you know, underplay any crisis because Putin has a habit of throwing critics in the gulags. So if they want to stay out of the gulag, they probably want to, you know, criticize in a respectful way. And this is what the Russian analysts are saying. Take a look. Without government support, wildberries will not survive. The attacks on the warehouses have put the company on the brink of collapse. Direct losses for wildberries from the destruction of warehouses could already exceed 100 billion rubles. That's roughly or little more than one billion dollars. And in the worst case, these losses could reach up to 200 billion rubles. That's 2.5 billion dollars. Now, of course, dollar figures don't really matter much to Russians because they earn in rubles, they spend in rubles, including Putin for the most part. Of course, the oil cells are coming in dollars. So let me put this in perspective. Russian government budget is around 25 trillion dollars when this war started. So that means 200 billion dollars is almost 1% of that budget. Just one company damage to just 13 warehouses could have an impact that's affects 1% of the Russian budget, so definitely a big deal in that sense. Now it's unlikely Russian government is going to help out this company because they're kind of tied on money right now, but nonetheless, let's continue with this report. The damages to sellers from the lost goods is already measured in hundreds of billions of rubles. After the first attacks on July 18th and 22nd, it was estimated 250 billion rubles and since then, the area of attacked warehouses has almost doubled. All sources believe that the authorities will not allow the company to collapse and go bankrupt. Their reputation of damage would be too great and Walburys also has a strong lobbying presence in the Kremlin and Moscow. However, saving the company will be very expensive and company itself will have to reinvent itself, which will require at least doubling its debt. Walburys is already heavily indebted. The company's debt at the end of 2025 exceeded 1.3 trillion rubles. And of course, this is also problematic for Russian banks as we talked about in the last video, because banks have lent a lot of money to these companies that are not suffering. And that means if they go bankrupt, banks are losing out to billions of dollars. And I'm sure you guys know that saying, if you owe a bank a million dollars, that's your problem. But if you owe a bank a billion dollars, that's banks problem. Well, guess what? Some of the biggest state banks in Russia have lent tens of billions of dollars to this company. And that means this company is Russian state bank's problem. That means it's Russia's economy's problem. Despite all this, though, in my opinion, in my humble opinion, I think it's unlikely that Putin's government is going to help them out a lot. And you'll see the reason why exactly later in the video, the economy is just not doing good. And we have more data coming out of Russia, economic data that tells us exactly how bad everything has gotten. But before we get to that, let me show you how Russian propagandists are reacting to all this. But remember, these propagandists are very pro-war people. They were celebrating when Putin launched his invasion in 2022. And now, well, they're not celebrating. Let me show you some comments from them. Another Wallberries warehouse is on fire after a Ukrainian strike. And Russian war bloggers are becoming steadily more irate about air defense failures. So here we have a war blogger named combat reserve. He's furious pointing to the lack of willingness among commanders and officials to take responsibility. This war blogger says that "regions helplessness is mired in bureaucracy and an inability to take responsibility." The governor of the region is trying to help, but he's hamstrung by laws that prevent him from putting weapons in the hands of private individuals. Now you guys want to take a guess why Putin does not want normal Russians having weapons? You know, that's probably the most dangerous thing to any dictator. And that's why who rather let the warehouses burn down, then give weapons to just normal Russians who are unhappy with the invasion he started. But nonetheless, let's continue. We have more comments from another war blogger named Veterans Notes. And he actually has some suggestions to the problem, and he diagnoses the problem pretty well. He has a pretty good diagnosis, so let me point this out. Last night, there was a massive attack. Many drones were shot down in the Belgrade region. However, once the remaining drones break through the Belgrade region, they almost reach their targets without significant losses. Thus the enemy launching 300 drones loses about 250, but the rest of the 50 reads the destination and inflict damage. In some cases, a single drone is enough to just show an entire enterprise, or oil refinery. Therefore, the solution is obvious. First, it is necessary to significantly increase the number of territorial defense units, TODs, and the border regions, through which many transits of enemy attack drones take place. Second, in each region, it is necessary to create volunteer, anti-aircraft units, TODs, that are not part of the Ministry of Defense. I want to read you guys what he says, why they're not part of the Ministry of Defense, and then we can talk about it. Unfortunately, abuse of people's trust has led to the fact that no one believes that when they assign a contract with the Russian MOD, they are specifically joining a TOD and not for example, an assault unit. And of course, this is a common thing Russia has been doing for a very long time. To get 10 and farther for the front line, they claim that hey, you can sign a contract with the Russian military, you can get all these bonuses that they're giving out, and you're not even going to go to the front line, you're just going to work behind the scenes, maybe you're going to work, you know, in some city that's close by just working on the supplies. These are the promises that they tell you before you sign a contract. And you meaning if you're a Russian watching this. And then once you sign the contract, you're given very little training and send straight to the front lines. And guess what, people are learning these stories now, and that's why we have a Russian war block, a way publicly saying that hey, if we want to set up a system where public helps take down these drones, we have to set this system up outside of the MOD, because Russians just don't trust the Ministry of Defense anymore. That's pretty telling, that's pretty telling that this guy's trying to help. And of course, he's, I'm guessing pro word now that he's trying to help. And he even he realizes that the Russian Ministry of Defense has a habit of lying to its own public. Now, all these lies is exactly why Russian people are tired, and some of them are so tired that they're publicly calling out Putin and telling him to just leave the country. Go live in North Korea. So I want to play you guys this clip, it's definitely a great clip, but I do have a quick warning before the clip. I know last time we had a clip that had a lot of f-bombs, and we bleep the f-bombs, but you guys were not happy about the bleeping at all. So this time, we're not going to bleep it, but if you have kids in the room, or if you don't want to listen, a lot of f-bombs, just skip the next clip. And just as a warning, this is a Russian guy who's very angry. So hopefully you get a sense of how many f-bombs he's about to drop, and now here's the clip. Addressing you Kremlin wankers, we are absolutely sick of you terrorizing Ukrainians and Russians. You've even pissed off every stray dog by now for f**k's sake. Long-range sanctions from Magyar landed here in Samara. Our warehouses are burning, oil depots, and other f**king shit. Everything is burning and blowing up f**k's sake. People are dying in Ukraine, people are dying in Russia. Our economy is just crawling for f**k's sake. On its bent, grazed knees, like a f**king girl from a brothel. Put a f**king end to all this, f**k off to your f**king partners in Afghanistan or North Korea. Play up the arse with them. Tell each other about your traditional values and other f**king bulls**t. We hate you. We have no respect for you. Off out of here. You f**king cunts. You're funny, f**king arse. Hope you enjoyed that. Now, you wanna hear the funniest part of all this? After clips like these started coming out, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs did something very suspicious. Not even suspicious. I can't think of the right word, but they did something that's a bit comical and you're gonna have a hard time believing it. Take a look at this report. The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has now officially advised Russians to not share their opinions online. I think Putin is getting a bit too butt-hired about what Russian people are telling him. So guess what? Then I'm just asking pretty please, can you guys stop sharing what you guys really think? That's what the Russian government has come to. Unfortunately for them, I don't live in Russia, so I don't have to listen to them. So here's another clip. We have another Russian citizen who talks about how he is Russian citizen. So he proves it by showing his passport and then he calls out Putin's regime has failed the Russian people and only way to save it is by bringing in the Ukrainians. Take a listen. My name is Maxim Petrenko. I am a citizen of the Russian Federation. I was born and have lived my entire life in the city of Vladivostok. Five years into this war, I believe there is nothing left to do but appeal to the government of Ukraine to come and liberate my country. I ask and urge everyone who considers themselves a patriot of Russia to appeal to the Ukrainian government to anyone who can help free Russia from the vile, despicable, criminal regime that seized power and has held it for a quarter of a century. I don't know if there are still people who are so stubborn that they fail. Understand this regime will never leave on its own. Look at Putin. There is no one more cowardly, more despicable or more pathetic than a man who holds so much power and yet clings to it in fear. Of course he will never give it up voluntarily. So please, everyone who carries this little booklet lets unite, lets at least speak out. Let's do everything that is within our power. That is what patriotism truly means. For the past three years, I have been donating money. Now one big reason why so many Russians are this unhappy is of course the economic situation inside of Russia which is getting very problematic. Ukraine has not slowed down its refinery campaign at all. A.K.A. they have continued hitting Russia's cash cow machine basically where Russia gets a lot of its money and just recently it had a record high. And I do want to go over that quickly but before that I want to show you something that recently happened that has made world news. Everyone is paying attention on the front lines and what Russian soldiers are doing. This clip is truly despicable so if you are someone who doesn't want to watch this, I recommend you skip a little bit. But here we have Russian soldier hunting Ukrainian civilians with FPV drones. And take a look at the clip and then I'll explain why this is such a horrible situation. *Sounds of the gun* Now of course we have a lot of money. we cannot show you guys the end but right there at the end the drone hits that man and goes up. There's a blast luckily though fortunately the guy survives he suffers blast trauma but he's completely okay he's talking his giving interview because he's one of the lucky few. Now importantly the more important part to point out here that he's just a normal civilian he sells vegetables and fruits out of his van he's not a military guy and despite that Russian FPV drones are targeting him and I want to point out how sick this is because FPV drones are not like these big drones that we are seeing go inside of Kiev or the ones we are seeing that are attacking Russian refineries. These drones have a person sitting on the other side wearing a logo and he can see everything that the drone is seeing that means that person that Russian soldier decided that he's gonna go off to the civilian and toy with him before he hits him and I'm sure the soldier was hoping that the guy doesn't survive but luckily he survived. Now this is a tactic that Russia has been using on the frontline cities for years now and it actually has a name it's called human safari. Russian soldiers are literally hunting down humans Ukrainian civilians and then they're posting videos posting clips of their achievements in Russian telegram channels and celebrating as to what they're doing. Now imagine if this was happening in any other city in the world imagine if this was happening here in the United States people would call this terrorism but this is happening in Ukraine every single week probably every single day and not many people are talking about it that much at all. Now luckily this specific clip has gotten far more attention than the Russia would have liked and because of that the world is learning exactly what's going on and how Ukrainian civilians especially civilians who are living on the front lines are truly living they have to survive every single day because Russians are like out to hunt them and this is exactly why we do what we do we try to reach as many people as possible that way we can you know inform more people about the reality of this war so if you can please help us reach more people by showing this video that makes a huge huge difference the bigger we grow the more we can ground out the Russian propaganda and also the more we can ground out the false framing from the mainstream media and on top of that just recently we launched our own membership called basics insider you can join by clicking the button down below or by going to basics insider by going to our patreon or wherever you like now in return for supporting us you actually get something valuable every single day we upload exclusive videos that never appear here on youtube we go deeper into the stories that we are covering here right now into the details that don't fit into those videos and best of all my personal favorite is we bring on experienced veterans who break down what's happening on the front lines who point out things in the footage that you and I normal civilians would never catch it's our uncensored extended coverage for people who want to understand this conflict beyond the headlines so if that's you you can join us by clicking the button down below or by using any of the links in the description your support means a lot to us and it helps us produce more and more videos now let's talk about that chart that I mentioned earlier this has to do with the russia's refining industry it's not looking pretty just yesterday morning and overnight Ukrainian strike reach russia's sujohn oil refinery this refinery sits roughly 900 kilometers or around 550 miles deep into russia it's one of the largest facilities russia has processing around 7 million tons of crude oil per year and here's the important part look at the pictures the refinery is vast but the ukraine is hitting specific pieces the exact pieces that make it the hardest for russia to restart this facility now I can finally pay off the hint that I was pointing at earlier we know exactly how ukraine is pulling this off and we have details that we never had before take a look this reporting comes from the financial times and it describes how ukraine has adapted its strikes against russia's energy industry and new strikes or new focus in these strikes is to hit critical components here's how it works before the mission starts before drones ever take off of course drone operators go through their regular planning right like the military planning gets to how they gonna circumvent Russian air defenses but path they gonna take and you know how they gonna do all the dust stuff but after that they meet with technical engineers so oil engineers who have knowledge about these refineries and how they operate and then these engineers hand operators a priority list with pictures so these lists are being made for specific refineries that their drone operators are gonna hit and this priority list basically points out that hey this pipeline right here that's priority one so if you can hit the pipeline definitely go for it but if you cannot hit that then go for this chimney that's priority two or this equipment connection whatever you can think of these oil engineers are literally telling them showing them pictures of what they have to hit because from their knowledge from their experience in the field they know that if they can destroy this part of the refinery the impact is a lot bigger than you could have by hitting something else according to this report ukraine and military planners are calling this systematic warfare they treat russia's energy infrastructure as an interconnected network rather than like just individual targets that means they try to find points in the system and hit there to have the most impact like most amount of chaos so they're looking at Putin's whole war machine the whole machine that's producing him cash so he can keep funding the war and then they're searching for parts that can hurt the most when they break and then they go after that part and of course it's obvious the second thing they're doing which is basically once they hit something of course russia tries to repair it quickly they go back and hit it again right before the repairs are done that way the facility can never resume operations or they can delay it as much as possible now in this interview ukraine and military actually gives credit to us intelligence and french intelligence for helping ukraine figure out this whole system as to where to hit how to find critical components and stuff like that so as an american definitely something that's been very positive and that's something that ukraine has implemented and has paid great dividends for ukrainians on the front lines and of course at the very end we have drone operators saying very publicly that this campaign is only gonna go up an intensity from here so russia should be ready but i don't know if russia is gonna be ready because they're already suffering pretty badly take a look at this chart this shows you russia's refining output and it's literally falling off a cliff i'm not kidding now after looking at this some of you may be feeling a deja vu like you have probably seen this before and you're right we have looked at this chart on this channel before but back then we did not have the data for June and july we only had data up until may and even by just looking at the data till may we can see that russia and refining output this year is suffering very heavily but take a look at that slow for June it seems like June was the worst month for puttin so after the july strikes this output or this refining output is now at a 23 year low not since 2002 has russia refined this little crude oil puttin has officially driven his country back to where it was when he first took power and i told you at this start he really is taking russia back in time and guess what this is only gonna get worse and let me show you the evidence for that first we have a message from a russian war blogger again who's talking about how the tables have turned take a look at this message this guy says that in 2023 he used to wake up and check what russians had destroyed on the ukrainian side so inside of the ukrain and now in 2026 he wakes up and checks what the ukrainians have destroyed inside of russia well well well how the turntables and here's the bigger picture of the turntables maguer who's the head of the ukrainian drone unit reports that operation krimian switch saw his units hit 13 energy nodes in 72 hours from july 1st to august 2nd so roughly 32 days his units have struck 177 energy targets in occupied southern ukrain including power plants and of course substations that's so roughly in 32 days he hits 177 targets if i'm good at math in my head that's roughly six targets per day and of course this pace is gonna accelerate because ukrain is innovating at a very fast rate as i covered in previous videos ukrainian is approving two new drone designs every single day for 2026 so this whole year every single day two new designs have being approved now of course not every single drone is gonna make it to the front lines but it's like a funnel right the more they test the more they're gonna have successful designs that i gonna hurt russia where it hurts the most and guess what apparently ukrainian may have a design that russians are very scared about and the reason i'm sharing this design is because russian bloggers russian propagandist are panicking about this so let me show you what this is panic among russia's military bloggers today with confirmed sightings of ukrain's homegrown three dire robotics high speed drones targeting russian facilities this drone has speed of 650 to 700 kilometers per hour range of 2000 kilometers and it can carry a load up to 200 kilograms these drones are not only very difficult to shoot down but also have a huge range and cause significant damage to russian targets this drone is as fast as a Mustang fighter jet from world war two shooting down such a drone is practically impossible a helicopter or a light aircraft would be as useless as interceptors now let's see if we can get a video of one of these drones in action very soon and i remember the exact feeling from before because i remember talking about flamingos maybe two years ago or a year and a half ago where ukrainian used to show these missiles at weapons expos or talk about production ramping up or development continue right and we recovered because this would be one of the best cruise missiles that ukrain was building well guess what this year i'm pretty sure you guys have seen it i've shown you on this channel too flamingos are now flying inside of russia and we are seeing russian residents just building the missiles and passing and then posting that video on social media so we can see something that was created in front of our eyes and now we're seeing it on the battlefield and being put in action so that's kind of cool maybe cool is not the right word but that's That's pretty cool. Now, of course, talking about missiles, Ukraine still has a long way to go to catch up to Russia. Russia has a lot of ballistic missiles and of course they're producing a lot more of them every single month. But, Ukrainians are catching up. They are making progress. And that progress is freaking out the Russian media, more specifically the Kremlin TV. Take a look at this clip. Why is our society so concerned about the possibility of ballistic missiles being supplied to the Ukrainian armed forces or being assembled in Ukraine? The reason is that it would fundamentally change the nature of the war. It would take it to an entirely different level. Why? Because right now, most aerial attacks on targets inside our country are carried out primarily with unmanned aerial vehicles. They can be countered with anti-aircraft gun and missile systems, small caliber anti-aircraft artillery, and interceptor drones. They can also be intercepted by attack helicopters. Sometimes a single attack helicopter can shoot down dozens of drones in a single sorty. Crews missiles are a different matter. Storm shadow or, for example, scalp are a different type of weapon altogether. You can't shoot one down with an interceptor drone. Nor can you bring it down with small caliber anti-aircraft artillery. Only an anti-aircraft missile system can bring it down. Everything else belongs in the realm of miracles. It would seem that a red line should have been drawn after storm shadow missiles were supplied. But ballistic missiles are an even more consequential type of weapon because they fundamentally change the nature of warfare, creating major challenges for air defense systems. Now that's all I have for you guys today. Recently, we've been bombarded with negative reviews from Russian bots. So if you can take a second and leave a positive review on the podcast, it really helps us keep going.
