Russia faces a severe strategic crisis characterized by multiple interconnected challenges: (1) A critical fuel shortage as Ukrainian drone attacks have destroyed multiple oil refineries, causing gasoline prices to surge and shortages to spread nationwide; (2) A military manpower crisis where contract soldier recruitment has dropped by 10% and the percentage of new contract soldiers has fallen to record lows, indicating the Russian army has run out of cannon fodder; (3) Diplomatic pressure mounting as Ukraine prepares for a potential new offensive while Western nations strengthen sanctions and maritime operations against Russia's shadow fleet. This convergence of economic, military, and diplomatic pressures creates a situation where Russia's strategic position has become increasingly untenable, with experts suggesting that power advantages on the battlefield are necessary for successful diplomatic negotiations to end the conflict.

Kremlin never EXPECTED this! Two options LEFT — LEAVE the City or SURRENDER without a Fight!Añadido:
For a month now, many oil refineries in Russia have been burning because of Kyiv. In Dzhankoy, the railway infrastructure has been destroyed.
Meanwhile, Russia is protecting Belarusian oil refineries from Ukrainian drone strikes.
Gasoline prices are going wild. In Moscow, fuel prices are skyrocketing. A shortage is sweeping across the entire country. A cyclone hit the residential building. There are many casualties.
Among them are children.
Another horrific shelling in Ukraine.
A large-scale counteroffensive by the Ukrainian armed forces. Ukraine is preparing the Crimean front. A terrible month for the occupiers. In May, Russia lost more than it occupied.
They've run out of cannon fodder. The percentage of contract soldiers in the swamps has dropped to a record low.
Immediately after the elections, Putin signed a decision on preemptive mobilization. A sensational statement.
Budanov named the date the war will end.
Poland is demanding an apology from Zelenskyy for naming one of the Ukrainian armed forces units after UPA heroes.
Impeachment in Washington. Pence has been appointed as Trump's successor.
Macron has officially authorized the use of lethal force. France enters the war against Putin's shadow fleet.
In Russia, a [snorts] truck carrying manure overturned onto a golden BMW. My name is Kateryna Nesterenko, and right now let's talk about the main news. But first, please like this video and subscribe to our channel so we don't lose each other on YouTube.
Another powerful drone attack. Factories and military facilities are burning en masse across Russia.
>> When everything is calm, measured, and stable here, we get bored.
Stagnation.
We want some action.
>> You asked, the armed forces of Ukraine delivered. Last night, drones attacked the Ilsky oil refinery.
>> [music] >> Ukrainian drones of retribution also paid a visit to Alekseevka in the Belgorod region. After the attack, a fire broke out on the territory of the Adamit processing plant.
Strike UAVs also targeted railway infrastructure in occupied Jankoy. A large-scale fire broke out at the site after the strike. The administrative buildings were completely destroyed and several other facilities were also heavily damaged. Russian social media channels report that a Russian military train was hit.
Against the backdrop of successful Ukrainian deep strikes, Z patriots are having a real meltdown. They blame their victory-obsessed government for everything.
>> Wake up.
We are being killed. We are being wiped out. And you are helping make it happen.
Stop dividing up the towers. Stop dividing up the power. Put the boots of power on together with the FSB, damn it.
Otherwise for us >> But you Russians over there, don't fool yourselves with illusions because you're doomed either way. As for me, I never cease to admire the courage and heroism of Ukrainian soldiers. They are holding the front and standing up to a huge horde that vastly outnumbers them.
That's why I urge you to support the armed forces of Ukraine even if you can't do so financially.
Write them words of encouragement in the comments. I know they're watching us.
Meanwhile, in the Krasnodar region, the Ilsky oil refinery is being attacked by drones for the 15th time already. The Kremlin regime is busy defending other people's territories. Putin no longer knows how to drag Belarus into the war and has promised Lukashenko to provide maximum protection for the Belarusian Novopolotsk and Mozyr oil refineries against strikes. This is reported by sources from the Kremlin.
The Russian government does not hide the fact that without Minsk, Russia faces a deep fuel crisis.
In May, gasoline supplies from Belarus to the Russian exchange increased by as much as 26 times compared to the previous year. Even those in the dictator's inner circle are dissatisfied with Putin's decision.
First, he sent air defense systems to Iran, then helped Venezuela, and now he has promised to cover the refineries in Belarus. So, when will there be protection for our own domestic factories?
Russians, keep it up.
As for Russia itself, a total gasoline shortage awaits by the beginning of August. Due to systematic and successful strikes by the Ukrainian armed forces, almost all major refineries in Central Russia have either halted or reduced fuel production. Due to the fuel crisis, Crimea and Sevastopol have already switched to Russian cards, while fuel prices at gas stations in Moscow and the Moscow region are rising rapidly. The price of 95 octane gasoline has surpassed 71 rubles. The Russian authorities have urgently begun preparing emergency measures to increase fuel supplies to the market. They want to extend zero duties, ban exports, and further increase supplies from Belarus.
But, experts warn that current reserves are insufficient and by the end of the summer, a fuel collapse will hit most regions. And as you know, no matter how hard the Russian authorities try to avoid disaster in their offices, something tells me that the Ukrainian General Staff has completely different plans.
While the bunker grandpas and their propaganda are painting a picture of a major offensive.
>> Our troops are advancing in all directions. As a matter of fact, well, you see it each and every single day of your life.
>> In reality, the numbers show a completely different picture.
According to Deep State, in May, the Ukrainian armed forces reclaimed more territory than the Russians were able to occupy.
And this happened for the first time since the Ukrainian counteroffensive of 2023. Moreover, over the entire month, the occupiers captured only 14 square kilometers of Ukrainian land.
Despite the fact that they increased the number of assaults by almost a third.
Yes, the situation remains difficult in the Donetsk region, especially around Kostyantynivka, but the overall trend looks nothing like the way the Kremlin tries to portray it.
The Ukrainian armed forces continue to successfully destroy the logistics of the so-called liberators.
In the occupied territory of the Donetsk region, Russian fuel trucks were ambushed and burnt.
>> Then it's burning in the back.
>> And it's burning in the front.
And here we are standing like a poplar on Blizhnyaya Street.
>> Well, without fuel, as you can imagine, Putin's army won't get very far.
Interestingly, against this backdrop, Western analysts are starting to talk about the possibility of a new Ukrainian offensive.
The Economist cites American military expert Rob Lee, who believes that the development of drones and new tactics could once again make large-scale armored breakthroughs effective.
According to him, the Ukrainian armed forces could first suppress Russian drones and their operators, and only then quickly deploy armored vehicles to break through the defenses. And what's most interesting is that even the Russians themselves are starting to talk about such risks.
The terrorist and former militant leader Igor Girkin-Strelkov stated that Ukraine might allegedly attempt an offensive in the near future, and that it could even come to an operation in the Crimean direction or a crossing of the Nipro.
And what do you think? Will we see a new major Ukrainian offensive this year?
Write your thoughts in the comments.
Reading the comments on the previous episodes, I see that many of you are watching us from Europe, Kazakhstan, Moldova, and even the USA.
We Ukrainians are grateful for your support and proud to have such reasonable viewers.
Let us know in the comments under this episode which country you are watching from and whether people there support our fight against the empire of evil.
I always enjoy reading your comments and in the meantime, we continue. Now comes the most interesting part.
The Russian Ministry of Finance accidentally revealed the Kremlin's biggest secret. The number of people willing to fight for money is rapidly running out.
>> Everyone is already fed up with the war part.
>> While officials cheerfully report crowds of volunteers, the dry numbers of the federal budget reveal a real catastrophe.
At the end of last year, the flow of contract soldiers collapsed by 1 and 1/2 times. On average, only about 1,100 contracts were signed per day, and over the entire year, about 364,000 people were recruited, which is 10% less than previous figures.
The actual treasury expenses for payments completely contradict the fairy tales told by the authorities on TV.
It seems that even huge million ruble bonuses no longer work.
What do you think? When will the regime officially announce a new mobilization?
Write your thoughts in the comments.
And continuing on the topic of mobilization, the Kremlin has already made a decision about a new large-scale wave.
Vodka-loving general and State Duma deputy Andrey Gurulyov had 100 g for courage and wrote a post saying that on the front, the Russian army has reached a positional deadlock and that wars can't be won with pretty reports. But the most interesting part is that the convict deputy openly admitted that this fall, a new wave of mobilization will be announced in Russia.
The fifth year of full-scale war has completely depleted the resources of the Kremlin Tower crime syndicate and there's simply no one left to cover the wild losses among the assault troops.
Well, what did Russians expect? A special military operation. Now, get ready for a new autumn draft. Just don't forget to bring black body bags right away.
Ukraine is striving to end the war before winter sets in. This was stated by former head of the main intelligence directorate Kyrylo Budanov during the Security Architecture 2026 Forum.
According to him, this is the task set by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Today, all state institutions are working to bring about a just peace. Budanov emphasized that Ukraine has the necessary tools to achieve this goal and it is already seeing certain prerequisites for possible changes in the course of the war.
At the same time, Budanov cautioned against excessive optimism. According to him, ending the hostilities depends not only on Ukraine, but also on Russia's position, which so far has not shown any willingness to fully abandon its aggressive plans.
The statement came amid active international discussions about possible negotiations and ways to end the war and the Kremlin's response was not long in coming. Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov cynically stated that the conflict in Ukraine could supposedly be ended by the end of the day if Zelenskyy simply ordered the armed forces of Ukraine to withdraw from the Ukrainian regions that Russia has declared its own.
Seriously?
However, Kyiv has repeatedly emphasized that any peace process must be based on security guarantees for Ukraine and must rule out the possibility of a new Russian invasion in the future.
In fact, the Ukrainian authorities are once again making it clear. The goal is not just a ceasefire, but the achievement of a lasting peace that will allow the country to recover and develop without the constant threat of a new war.
Budanov himself emphasized that the coming months could prove decisive both on the front lines and in the diplomatic arena, as there are significant reasons for this. More details in our report.
The administration of Volodymyr Zelenskyy sees a window of opportunity to begin real negotiations with Russia to end the war. President of Ukraine himself stated this in an interview with CBS News.
Commenting on Brigadier General Andriy Biletskyy's statement that Ukraine has 6 months to strengthen its positions on the battlefield before starting negotiations, Zelenskyy confirmed under favorable circumstances, Putin will be forced to negotiate as early as this winter.
>> I believe that before winter comes, we need to find a diplomatic way to sit down at the negotiating table and start a conversation.
But this depends on the pressure on Putin, on the pressure within Russian society. And I think that this pressure is growing thanks to the sanctions. They should not be lifted, but strengthened.
This is the right diplomatic path. I hope that the United States will act in exactly this way. European countries have already adopted more than 20 sanction packages.
>> Analysts note that in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the circumstance that leads to real negotiations has finally begun to emerge. That is, an advantage in strength for one of the warring sides.
>> The rule of the genre says that diplomacy is only successful when on the ground, on the battlefield itself, one of the sides has some kind of power advantage.
If there is no power factor, no matter what third countries intervene, unless these third countries use some kind of forceful lever of influence, either military support for one of the sides, or some kind of economic measure, like the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, that is economic pressure on Iran, for example. If there is no power factor at all, then all negotiations will lead a dead end. Take the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict after the first war. For 26 years, it was at a dead end, even though three countries, permanent members of the UN Security Council, the US, France, and Russia, seemingly participated there. But as soon as one side won, Azerbaijan won, and you see immediately a peace treaty is already approaching the point of being signed, right?
Because there is a power factor involved. but here between Russia and Ukraine, that power factor doesn't exist.
That's why the front is at a standstill and everything is shifting into a completely different sphere, informational, ideological, diplomatic.
And there, as you can see, everything is based just the same on that military component.
>> For almost half a year in a row, the Russian army has been consistently losing more manpower on the battlefield than it is able to replenish. At the same time, the Kremlin still hasn't dared to launch a full-scale mobilization. Terrorist strikes on apartment buildings with sleeping Ukrainians are for now all that the dictator is counting on, but even this does not lead to Kyiv's capitulation, instead provoking discontent from across the ocean. The massive strike on the Ukrainian capital, though not immediately, was harshly criticized by the US Deputy Representative to the UN.
He called Moscow's actions barbaric.
Perhaps that is precisely why Russia refrained from shelling Ukraine on May 30th to 31st.
>> To pick a fight with Trump by carrying out such strikes is well more trouble than it's worth.
So, the situation in the Russian economy is constantly getting worse. If you anger Trump, he'll start ramping up sanctions pressure again. He has the resources for that.
It's just, you know, like sawing off the branch you're sitting on.
And that's why basically it's time to put an end to this. And so, theoretically, maybe this is how the ending will look. That is, one ceasefire, then a third, but not all at once, you know, like stop the machine, right? Just a moment ago they were fighting and fighting and then suddenly they stop and aren't fighting anymore, but >> in series.
>> Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So, not one big step, but many small steps. Putin, this is actually typical for Putin.
Even though he really likes to give the impression of being a macho man, in reality, he's not a very decisive person. He prefers to cross an abyss in several jumps.
>> Although there was no full-fledged ceasefire as the Kremlin reported to Washington, with a ballistic missile strike on an important Christian holiday, the Russians destroyed a logistics warehouse in the city of Dnipro. The fact that the situation around the negotiations is becoming more active is also evidenced by the fact that in just 2 weeks, the Ukrainian president's administration is expecting shuttle diplomats, Trump's special envoy Stephen Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.
>> I had some inside information. They were supposed to come right after Orban's election. They thought he would win.
That's why now we see that Orban didn't get anything. They were supposed to come to put pressure on us. Look, Orban won, there will be no money, so surrender.
But things didn't go according to that plan. Now we see that things might go according to a different plan, a more pro-Ukrainian [music] one. That's why these guys have now gathered in Ukraine.
>> Even greater success of the Ukrainian defense forces missile strikes could become that very black swan for Putin, which would accelerate the dictator's willingness to negotiate. For now, analysts note that it is necessary to wait and see what the negotiators will bring to Kyiv.
Dozens killed across Ukraine after Russia's night of terror.
>> Get down.
Another strike.
>> As expected, the inevitable punishment that Putin promised to those responsible for the tragedy in Starobilsk turned into yet another round of strikes on hospitals, a kindergarten, a maternity ward, and apartment buildings in Kyiv.
Two waves of attacks on the capital during the night of June 2nd.
Treacherously and deceitfully, the Russians struck again at 7:00 in the morning when most people had already returned home from shelters after the all clear.
>> Look, that was a rocket, right?
>> That was a rocket.
>> Woah.
>> There are also reports of and wounded in Dnipro.
There, as a result of a Russian strike, a child born in 2023 was killed.
Rescuers pulled his body from under the rubble of the damaged four-story building.
In Kharkiv, impacts were recorded in several districts of the city. Civilians were injured. According to the Air Force, the enemy used Zircon and Iskander missiles, as well as Shahed attack drones.
Once again, Russia struck not at military targets, but at residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure.
The Russian Ministry of Defense cynically explained the massive overnight attack on Ukraine.
The agency of the aggressor country called the strike a response to terrorist attacks. It is claimed that the alleged targets of the strike were Ukraine's defense industry enterprises and fuel and transport infrastructure facilities in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Dnipropetrovsk, as well as in the Poltava, Khmelnytskyi, and Sumy regions. Well, just take a look. These are those very industrial facilities.
And now, a bit of telling statistics.
May became a record month for the number of Russian drones launched at Ukraine.
These figures are reported by AFP.
Last month, Russia used 8,150 drones and more than 200 missiles against Ukraine.
This is more than in April, when 6,583 drones and 141 missiles were recorded.
According to journalists, only one night in May passed without air attacks.
Unfortunately, with such a neighbor, there may be many more nights like this.
Condolences to all the families and loved ones of those who died. But despite everything, I never cease to admire our resilience.
Thousands of Ukrainians, after a sleepless and terrifying night, had their coffee and went to work. Some went to help those affected.
To the Russians, I I only one wish. Burn in hell you inhumans.
US Vice President J.D. Vance, the likely successor to Donald Trump, and therefore a possible future president of the United States.
But are his prospects really so cloudless? According to insiders from the White House, Trump is increasingly criticizing his deputy and is considering another successor.
>> The Vice President of the United States and in fact Trump's successor, a person who has every chance of representing the Republicans in the next election. J.D.
Vance is probably the person closest to the current president of the United States.
>> [music] >> There has not been a single president who has done more for Ukraine's survival in the war against Russia than Donald Trump.
>> But it seems that lately Trump has been wavering about his successor. He has been increasingly asking whether Vance has the strength to go all the way.
And he usually answers his own question.
For now, he's not sure. The New York Times reports this, citing several sources from the White House.
>> As the default favorite for the Republican Party nomination and the potential heir to the president's political movement, Mr. Vance's fate largely depends on the enthusiasm and support he receives from Mr. Trump.
Regular polls conducted by Mr. Trump, [music] asking whether people prefer Mr. Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have become one of the most closely watched early indicators of how power in the Republican [music] Party might shift to the next generation.
>> Trump's advisers say that he simply enjoys conducting public opinion polls and that he is not at all concerned about 2028.
Nevertheless, it would be hard for Trump to ignore the fact that lately the two men he refers to as his children are gaining increasing prominence as the midterm elections approach.
>> The White House administration is wavering over whom to support in the next presidential election, Vice President J.D. Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
It seems that Trump has begun to doubt whether Vance can become his successor.
The president regularly criticizes Vance on both personal and political matters.
The article specifically notes that Trump has repeatedly brought up the incident when Vance dropped the Ohio State football championship trophy during an event at the White House.
>> [music] >> Recently, Trump has been comparing Vance's achievements to his own and emphasizing that without his support, Vance would not have been able to reach his current position.
At the same time, according to the publication, Marco Rubio spends a lot of time with the US president and often accompanies Trump during flights.
>> At a dinner in the Rose Garden earlier this month, Mr. Trump asked his guests who would be the best choice. Who likes J.D. Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio? He made it clear that he does not support any of these candidates. In an interview with Fortune magazine given in the Oval Office this month, the president was once again asked who was best suited to continue his legacy. Whoever gets this position will be a very important figure, the president said.
And if the wrong person gets it, it will be a disaster.
During this interview, Mr. Vance observed Mr. Trump's responses from the back of the room.
>> 75% of Republicans have a favorable opinion of Vance and 64% of Republicans [music] have a favorable opinion of Rubio. These are key figures.
According to a Pew survey conducted earlier this year, Mr. Vance is much more recognizable to American voters than most other figures in the Trump administration.
>> According to a recent survey by the Rupert Institute, Vice President J.D.
Vance's approval rating hit a historic low, minus 18.
This is the worst result in the history of such surveys. Negotiations with Iran and Pakistan ended in failure. Support for Orbán and the visit to Budapest resulted in an opposition victory in the elections. These are serious image blows to the Trump administration and it was J.D. Vance who led to them. Therefore, Vance's status as Trump's successor for the presidency is now in serious doubt.
Poland is once again dissatisfied with Ukraine.
People in the entourage of newly elected President Karol Narocki stated that Volodymyr Zelenskyy was supposedly supposed to apologize for awarding one of the special operations forces units the honorary title named after the heroes of the UPA.
And here a perfectly logical question arises. If the Poles have the right to honor their historical figures, even those who are controversial among their neighbors, then why can't Ukrainians do the same? Yes, the history between our peoples is complicated. Yes, there are pages that still spark debate, but the right to choose one's own heroes is, in the end, a matter for Ukraine itself.
It's all the more strange to hear such demands now, when Ukraine is fighting for its very existence, and Poland remains one of our closest allies.
After all, friendship between states should be built on mutual respect, including respect for each other's right to their own historical memory. And what do you think? Should other countries have a say in whom Ukraine honors as its heroes? Share your thoughts in the comments. Macron announced the detention of a Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Atlantic. Yesterday morning, the French navy detained another oil tanker, Tagore, which was under international sanctions and was traveling from Russia.
This was reported by the French president. All the details will be shared and shown by my colleagues.
>> The French navy detained the Russian oil tanker Tagore in the Atlantic Ocean.
This was reported by the country's president, Emmanuel Macron.
According to him, the operation took place in international waters with the support of allies, particularly the United Kingdom, and in full compliance with international maritime law.
The detention of the Tagore became another step by European countries in the fight against the so-called Russian shadow fleet. This refers to vessels that, according to Western countries, are used to transport Russian oil in circumvention of international restrictions.
>> Yesterday morning, the French navy intercepted a new tanker, Tagore, which is under international sanctions and arrived from Russia. Our resolve is unwavering and steadfast. It is unacceptable for vessels to circumvent international sanctions, violate maritime law, and finance the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than 4 years. These vessels, which do not comply with even the most basic rules of maritime navigation, also pose a threat to the environment and the safety of all parties involved.
>> Previously, Sweden conducted a similar operation. In early May, the country's coast guard detained a vessel off the coast of Trelleborg. According to Swedish authorities, the vessel is suspected of belonging to the Russian shadow fleet and may have been using a false flag. The operation was carried out jointly by the coast guard, police, and the national operational group with support from aviation. Stockholm stated that the vessel is under sanctions from the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Ukraine. The intervention was prompted by suspicions of violations of maritime law and the vessel's technical unseaworthiness. The vessel was towed to a mooring location for further investigation. Investigators continue to work on board. At the same time, this is not the first such case. In March, Sweden detained the vessel Kafa in the Baltic Sea on suspicion of using a false flag and violating safety requirements.
Later, its captain was arrested.
The Swedish state has the right to intervene in this case against a vessel whose flag is extremely unclear, and we believe it was registered under a false flag.
>> At the same time, European countries are stepping up control in the Black Sea as well. Romania and Bulgaria are working on creating a special security hub to monitor maritime transport.
>> Together with Bulgaria, we have made progress on the concept of an EU security hub, and we are also conducting demining operations together with Bulgaria and Turkey. And Ukraine plays a significant role in the efforts to clear mines from the Black Sea.
>> As stated [snorts] by Romanian Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu, one of the tasks of the new mechanism will be to identify potential routes of the Russian shadow fleet. In addition, Bucharest, Sofia, and Ankara continue joint operations to clear mines from the Black Sea, and Ukraine remains an important participant in these efforts. Romania is also preparing additional measures of accountability for attempts to circumvent international sanctions.
Meanwhile, the European Union continues to work on new restrictions against Russia. Thus, from the Atlantic to the Baltic and Black Seas, European countries are strengthening control over shipping and expanding measures against schemes that could be used to circumvent the sanctions regime.
>> Everything is stable in Russia. A truck loaded with manure dramatically overturned right onto a golden BMW.
>> [music] [music] >> You have to admit you couldn't come up with a more symbolic sight. Or maybe it's a sign of money to come. Although it's clearly no consolation for the owner of the golden ride.
