Ukraine Just ERASED Russia's Entire NAVAL Port

This is not 2022 anymore, and Putin is slowly realizing that. On August 13th, Putin made a catastrophic mistake. He publicly warned that if European countries don't stop enforcing their sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet, then Russia will be forced to start attacking European ships and tankers. But you see, he forgot. One thing, Russia's ships stopped answering to Russia a long time ago. In the Black Sea, it's Ukraine that decides where Russian ships get to exist or not. And there's a reason Russia's Black Sea fleet had to run away from Crimea, abandon Sevastopol and go hide in Nova Rossist. And guess what, even that wasn't far enough. Ukraine just responded to Putin's threat, and their response made one thing painfully clear to Kremlin. The Russian navy is not really a navy anymore. One of Russia's main naval base is burning in front of the world, and Russian warships officially have nowhere to hide. And guess what, in the middle of all this, we get a report that JD Vance personally picked up the phone and called Kiev with a request that nobody saw coming. And Ukraine's answer surprised even more people. Plus, on top of that, Ukraine is now doing something it has not done in this entire war. So let's get into all this and more in today's video, starting with the most important news. As you can see from the report on your screen, European countries, led by especially Italy, have now started actually enforcing their sanctions. Just recently at the start of this month, an Italian-led force boarded a Russian tanker to make sure it wasn't breaking any EU laws. Now, this wasn't really a Russian tanker because a lot of ships flagged convenience, but it was most likely carrying Russian cargo. Now, of course, Putin was not very happy about this because, you know, when people start enforcing rules, it gets harder for Russia to keep breaking them. So Putin had to come out publicly and start his saber-rattling again, like he has been doing all this war. Basically, he made a statement saying, "Hey, we can make life hell for everyone, as if Russia is not doing that already. Just take a listen to what he said." I would like to draw your attention to the decisions of the European Union, which took place not long ago. We see that the authorities of some countries, in violation of international maritime law, are trying to limit the movement of the vessels of our economic operators, civilian vessels, actually, and recently, they came up with the idea of capturing our ships and selling the stolen property. Of course, this is nothing more than piracy and robbery. And if it starts to happen in practice, we will have to answer with mirror actions. And not necessarily in those waters where attacks on our ships are planned. But wherever we ourselves deem necessary and appropriate to do so. Now Putin will come to regret these words very soon. But first, it's important to point out that it wasn't just Putin who was making threats. We had other Russian officials, like Putin's favorite little puppet Medvedev, who was making the same threats towards the Europeans. Take a look at what he said. Here's the comment that Medvedev said. Here's his quote. Here's the quote. "Those European dogs have no right to detain commercial vessels sailing under non-Russian flag, but carrying cargo in Russia's interest. The vast majority of Western European vessels also sail under flags of convenience. So Russia has the right to attack any commercial vessel belonging to enemy countries, whether in our waters or neutral waters. If there is sufficient reason to suspect it is carrying cargo in enemy interest, any cargo, there are plenty of search vessels. Now, this last part he's going to come to regret it. Let me show you what he says. The Russian armed forces are capable of dramatically expanding their operations beyond the Black Sea. Now I don't know if Medvedev is actually dumb or is he just pretending to be dumb. You guys let me know in the comments down below, but I'm pretty sure he knows that there are no Russian warships or the Russian navy ships in the Black Sea. That's because of Ukrainian attacks. And guess what? This is not something that's just coming from some random pro-Ukrainian YouTuber. This is something that Russian officials themselves have confirmed. Take a look at this report and keep in mind, this report is from 2024, so roughly two years ago. Ukraine's attacks force Russian Black Sea fleet to move warships from Sevastopol to Novoreshiks. This is something a Russian official confirmed to Reuters. Now it's important to point out how big of a deal this was when it happened. The Sevastopol base was basically D-base for Russian Black Sea fleet for decades, going all the way back to the Soviet Union. And Russia was forced to give that up because of Ukrainian attacks and Ukrainian drones. And let's not forget, only reason this is happening is because Putin started the three days special military operation. Now after giving up Sevastopol, Russian navy moved to Novoreshiks. Basically, hundreds of miles away from this area. But unfortunately, as we just learned two days ago, that was not far enough. So I think the Russian navy is like without a home, it's homeless now. So if you guys wanna help it out, maybe drop some recommendations as to where they go next. My recommendation is at the bottom of the sea, but I doubt they'll take it. But nonetheless, let's take a look at this Ukrainian attack. Now as you guys know, Russia spends billions of dollars to push out their propaganda. And we try our best to fight back as much as we can. You see all these drones flying into Russia from Ukraine? This happened on August 11th. Pay attention to that group at the bottom in the south. Those are the drones that are heading towards the Black Sea fleet and the naval base sitting in that city. And this is what it looked like on the ground when that attack actually hit. Here we have a Russian guy, slowly realizing on camera what's happening. Initially he thinks it's just a UFO that he's seeing and then he quickly realizes. Oh shit, take a look. Now Russia tried so hard to stop this attack that the night sky in this city was glowing up like fireworks or like it was morning. Unfortunately, it did not work and we'll get to the damage that this attack did. But before that, I wanna show you how the sky looked while Russian air defenses were just going off. They were just open firing, blasting away at anything and everything. Take a look. Now here's the damage. This is being reported by Euro-Midant Press, other outlets and of course this is something that the Ukrainian government itself announced and Russian war bloggers have confirmed it. So this is a news that we're getting confirmation from multiple different sites. It's not just one site saying hey look the kind of damage we did, but this is the damage. Four different Russian warships were damaged in this attack. Two caliber carrying frigates, one missile ship and one patrol ship. Now we actually have the names. The two frigates that were damaged were called the Admiral Markov and Admiral Essen. These are among the newest and most important surface ships that Russia has kept in the Black Sea. Both of them are capable of launching caliber cruise missiles at Ukraine and I'm sure they were probably doing it every single night. Those missiles have been heading Ukrainian cities on a regular basis and finally Ukraine got its revenge. Those exact ships that were heading Ukrainian civilians are now probably not useful anymore. Now there's another part of this attack that was shocking for everyone and this is something President Zelensky himself confirmed. Take a look at his statement. For the first time in this entire war, Ukraine actually combined 15 different weapons in a single operation to strike a place that Russia wasn't really expecting. Now we actually have a list of stuff that Ukraine used so take a look and this is something Zelensky tweeted out. Now I'll read the names, but just fair warning I'm probably not going to pronounce them properly. So these are the companies and drones who took part in this operation. Planitia, pleco, bars, long-nepped tune worked in concert and along with Mitch Firepoint this is the important company that we hear about a lot, Ramzav, Sichen, Trust, Karyo, Grober, Litnewy and Dovebush drones as well as Sargon and Mamae Unmanned Surface Vessel. Now here's an important detail in all of this. All of these companies, all of these drones and missiles are domestically produced so they're being designed and built in Ukraine and that matters because if they are domestically produced, Ukraine really doesn't need to run it by anyone to hit something Ukrainian just carry out operation whenever they see fit. And that's something Ukraine has been investing in very heavily. They've been trying to build up their defensive capabilities and they have done a tremendous job. In fact they are beating Russia when it comes to innovation and production on the drone side and they've been trying to catch up on the missile side too and of course Ukraine truly, truly wants to build its own missile defense system so they can finally stop Russian ballistic missiles and not depend on Patriot missile interceptor or anything else. Now another reason this is important is because right around this time a report came out that was a bit shocking. Apparently the US just made a very specific request to Ukraine about these tracks. Now that's a request I do want to clarify a little bit because it's definitely a big deal because we had Vice President JD Vance who's probably not a fan of Zelensky actually calling him up directly. But before that, I want to show you how Russians reacted in the city after this strike was done. So on your screen you can see the next morning so this was morning after the attack attacked a place at night and the attack was so massive that the smoke was still covering the city the very next day while Russians were waking up going to work and they could see all of that. Now we actually also have a clip from a Russian woman. We act need to do everything in front of her. So take a look. It seems to me that there has never been a nightlight tonight in Novorossia or anywhere in our region for that matter. There has never been a nightlight like that. It was absolutely terrifying. People died and so many buildings burned down. It's just horrible. I've always been. I don't know. A little more relaxed about it. And this time I'm well. In other words, simply from 10pm to 6am, this is not a ceasefire. That's really scary. I don't usually care that much, but this. It's better to just stay home and not go anywhere on vacation. There's no need to do that at all this year. Everyone knows perfectly well what's going on here in general. Around here in the chat. You see people writing that they've come on vacation? Damn, should I buy a return ticket or. Are you guys crazy or something? Why are you even going anywhere? Now of course, I doubt she's the most knowledgeable person about this war and how Ukraine is carrying it out, but it's important to point out that Ukraine is not really hitting civilian infrastructure. Anyways, some civilian property was damaged last night and Russians think it was because Ukraine had some crazy, crazy drone that was just firing everywhere. That's not actually true. So let me show you what Russians think and then I'll explain what probably happened. Because again, we cannot really go there and investigate. I doubt Russia wants independent investigators there to figure out what's happening, but I do have a theory. But first, here's what Russians think. So there are multiple different theories, but these are the two crazy ones. First, we have Russians saying that some Ukrainian drones were equipped with sharks with laser beams attached to their heads that fired indiscriminately at the city. During the attack on no risk, some Ukrainian drones were equipped with heavy machine guns that fired indiscriminately at the city. A garage cooperative, cars, residential buildings were damaged. Now, I'm not denying that a garage and a building wasn't damaged. What I am saying is that it probably wasn't Ukraine and I doubt Ukraine even has a drone that has a shark on the front that's firing lasers. What would they use it for? But anyways, I think I have a theory as to what it was. You see those Russian air defense is just blasting away in every direction to take down Ukrainian drones? Well, guess what? Those bullets have to come down at some point and I'm guessing those bullets were the reason behind damages that were dealt to Russian cars and of course civilian buildings, everything like that. Nonetheless, Russians do have crazy theories about what happened. Anyways, let's move on to that shocking call that came out this weekend. Vice President J.D. Vance personally called Ukrainian President Zelensky and made a request. The request was to avoid hitting tankers and to avoid hitting infrastructure that doesn't belong to Russia. And this is really talking about Ukrainian strikes in the Black Sea. Now, I know some people are confused by this, which kind of makes sense because J.D. Vance is not really someone who has a lot of love for Ukraine. So people are shocked that Ukraine actually agreed to this request. So let me explain what the request was and then we can probably figure out why Ukraine agreed. So take a look at this pipeline on your screen. It's called the CPC pipeline, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium. And what it does is it connects oil fields in Kazakhstan to the port of Novoreskisk. So, Kazakh oil flows across Russia, across Kazakhstan to Russian port, then gets loaded onto tankers and those tankers basically carry it through the Black Sea and take it wherever the customer is. Now, here's the key part. I don't exactly know about this pipeline, but I do think there is some American ownership on this pipeline at least on the Kazakh site, but more importantly, the oil fields that the pipeline is connecting are partially owned by American companies, maybe 50% or less than that, depends on which oil field we are talking about. Now, I'm guessing that those companies reached out to the administration and then asked administration to help convince Ukraine to avoid hitting things that don't actually belong to Russia. And Ukraine actually agreed to it with conditions. Ukraine said, as long as the ships don't belong to Russia, and of course, as long as ships are not carrying oil that belongs to Russia, they're not going to attack any of those. And on top of all this, Ukraine also agreed to not hit the pipeline because Kazakhstan and of course, American companies benefit from the pipeline a lot more than Russia. That's not to say Russia doesn't benefit because think about it. If there's a pipeline going over your territory, you're probably charging some kind of fee. So, Russia is probably making some money, probably not that much, as if it was selling its own oil, but Russia is probably making money, but other countries are making money, so Ukraine has agreed to not hit it as of right now. But I feel like if in the winter, Russia starts hitting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, this should be fair game, especially if it's over Russian territory. But nonetheless, this report was shocking even for me because you wouldn't really think JD Vans and Zelensky actually having a good conversation. By the way, important to point out, earlier this month or in the last month when Zelensky visited the Oval Office, if you look at all those pictures, JD Vans actually was not in the office or in the meeting, and that meeting went pretty well. So, tells you something why the first meeting did not go well, and who started the fight. But let's continue with the story. Because that same night, Ukrainian drones also went to other places and started hitting Russian refineries, and that means few lines are back in Russia. So, the first meme we have is actually about the story we just covered, and the meme goes, Vans calling Zelensky saying, "Hey, stop blowing up tankers." Zelensky agrees, and then he blows up the port so no oil actually gets loaded onto the tanker. Just a meme guys, it's not the truth. Ukraine actually went after the naval base, not the civil import. Important distinction that I would like to point out, I know it ruins the joke, but anyway, here we have the second meme, which is from a Ukrainian restaurant or somewhere in Ukraine. It says, "In the event of a missile attack, go under this urinal, no one was able to aim for it so far." I think guys would get it, it's a disgusting joke, but it is the truth unfortunately. And the last one is a bit of a long one, but it's a good story. It's a conversation between Stalin and Putin. First Stalin says, "Kamerat Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?" Putin goes, "Because Ukraine doesn't exist." Really? Yep, Lenin invented it. So, you invaded a country that doesn't exist, Ukrainians and Russians are one people, so Ukrainians don't exist. Correct. Who lives in Ukraine then? Russians. So why did you invade Russians? To denocify Ukraine. Denocify from home? Ukrainians. But Ukrainians don't exist. We were protecting Russian speakers. From whom? Nazis. But you said everyone there is Russian, so the Nazis are Russian? Putin just doesn't answer. Fine. Who has Russia been fighting all these years? NATO. Is Ukrainian NATO? No. Then how are you fighting NATO? NATO fights us through Ukrainians. The Ukrainians who don't exist? This is when Stalin takes a long pause and says, "Even I couldn't have come up with this." This is basically explains how crazy Russian argument is for invading Ukraine. Now this last clip is a shocking one and it's also a free advertisement for a restaurant that you guys might not expect on this channel, but the restaurant has good decorations. This restaurant is in Georgia and in a place I'm guessing Russians visit a lot, but they were really shocked to see what this restaurant is all about. So take a look at this clip. They say this place has the best kinkali around. Let's find out. Look at what it says right here. We stopped at a roadside cafe in Georgia and there are signs everywhere saying 20% of Georgia is occupied by Russia. Wi-Fi. Abkazia is Georgia. Password. Osija is Georgia. But that's not even the strangest part. Over here, I mean you can tell who this is. He even looks a bit like Putin. Then you walk into the restroom. Honestly, this is just crazy. By entering our restaurant, you agree that Putin is a war criminal and respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. Where Russia goes, it brings death and tears. Guys, let me know in the comments. I honestly don't know what to make of this. Then, as I mentioned before the memes, Ukraine has restarted its campaign of what I like to call long-range sanctions against Russian defenaries. The most recent one is this one. The Oorsk refinery. This refinery sits roughly 1400 kilometers from the front lines. I think that's around 900 miles. And it has a processing capacity of 6 million tons of crude per year. The damage you're seeing on your screen is so major that the governor of the region has to come out and basically declare a public emergency. This is what he said. The governor Russia's Old Berks region says that Oorsk oil refinery has been knocked out for around 6 months following the Ukrainian strike. He said key damage equipment was imported and replacing it under international sanctions will take considerable time. Residents were told to prepare for the worst case scenario. Since yesterday, Orenberg Oblast has imposed strict fuel restrictions, including limits per customer, a ban on filling canisters, and odd even days of refueling based on vehicle registration numbers. This is what the second strongest military has come to, and more importantly, this is a country that has the second most proven oil reserves. And now it has to implement what it is called rationing for oil. Winter is truly coming for Russia. Now of course, it's not just refineries that Ukraine is going after just two days ago. They also destroyed another wild berries warehouse. Take a look at this clip. Ukrainian drones wiped out one of one of the largest wallberries warehouse, a facility covering 150 square meters. square meters, and here's how it looked while it was burning. Now here we have the wildberries bingo that many people are playing online, and I do want to point out something interesting here. When we started playing this bingo, let's say 2 weeks ago, maybe 4 weeks ago, we used to just look at top 10 wildberry warehouses, and then the Ukrainian strikes just continued so we started looking at top 20, and now it has extended all the way to top 30. The bingo just keeps getting bigger and bigger because Ukraine just keeps hitting more and more stuff. Now out of top 20, I counted 18 of them have been head and 17 of them have basically been destroyed, maybe 15 depending on how you count, but the damage is pretty major. A lot of these warehouses, they would basically have to rebuild the whole thing, and let's not forget what's inside is also getting lost, and that's creating more problems for the Russian public and that aka the Russian government too. Now while all of this is going on, Putin is preparing for mobilization too, and some Russians are already receiving their summons, and this is how they're reacting. Here we have a Russian man basically getting his military summons and posting online showing his reaction, trying to figure out what he can do. Maybe he should just leave the country, take a look. This is fucking crazy, I received a draft summons today, I'm 38 years old, today I opened the Ghostos Lugie, checked my notifications, opened it, and there it was. Please report to the military enlistment office by such and such date. If you don't show up, you'll face sanctions like a ban on registration actions, suspension of your driver's license, travel bans, and so on. Today, I think I have about 6 days left to go to the enlistment office, I'll attach the summons so you can take a look. Now the main question is, why is this necessary, who needs this, and maybe someone has already received a summons like this? Please share what awaits me next. Now I want to show you guys another story about military summons that I go out in Russia, and this is a sad story about how Russian people and Ukrainian people are so connected. We have families who have people living on both sides and supporting separate sides, so yeah, unexpected, unique, I don't know what adjective is the right one, but take a look at this story, it's truly shocking. My cousin from Moscow called for the first time in a long while, accusing us of not wanting to make concessions. The reason for the call, her husband received a summons, so they went together just in case. While they were sitting in the queue, the girls after the medical exam did not come back out. They were mobilized, and her husband he dodged it temporarily, because he brought a certificate about his daughter with disability, but they told him that his daughter's autism is not a 100% deferment, and they will send him somewhere for training in two weeks. This despite the fact that they both have Ukrainian power sports. They've been living in Moscow since 2011, she said, 70% of those who come to the military and Lisbon office did not come back out, and all the moans and whales of mothers and wives were cut off by cops in a rough manner. So yeah, this is the reality, definitely a shocking story, considering how people are related on both sides, but on top of that, mobilization has not happened yet. The big mobilization is likely going to happen after the election that takes place in September, so this kind of stuff is already happening even before that. So definitely interesting things happening in Russia, and doesn't look like Putin wants to end the war anytime soon. Every time Ukraine hits back at Russia, the truth gets buried under headlines that talk about escalation or risk of nuclear war. But here we cover the other side. The reality of a country that's fighting for its survival, and the collapse of an empire that never believed it would fall. And if that's the kind of coverage that you believe the world deserves, then take five seconds to follow this podcast right now. It's a small thing that makes a massive difference. Every follow tells these platforms that independent voices like ours matter. So go ahead, hit that follow button and help us reach more listeners who still believe in Ukraine. Because the stronger our audience gets, the harder it is going to be for censorship or propaganda to ground us out.
