Putin forced to humiliate himself! Kremlin address changes everything. Powerful slamming of Moscow
Added:An official admission of helplessness.
Putin personally thanks North Korea for ammunition and troops proving total dependence on Pyan. Moscow in flames.
The largest drone attack on the capital region paralyze Russian oil and military logistics hs fuel rationing and empty gas stations. Ukrainian strikes deep into Siberia and Msk completely destroy Putin's social contract with the Russian public. Russia burns through its lost siron missiles. Brussels stalls the 21st sanctions package and the United States is on the brink of an allout war with Iran. How is Ukraine pushing the Russian financial system toward a new default?
Why is Moscow changing tactics to exhaust its remaining missiles? And will Washington launch a direct strike against Iran? All these stories coming up next. Another clear sign of Russia's deep geopolitical crisis came straight from the Kremlin where dictator Putin personally met with North Korea's foreign minister Cho Sanui. The meeting highlighted the sheer absurdity of Moscow's current position. The Kremlin leader went out of his way to thank North Korea for its military assistance in the war against Ukraine. In doing so, Russian leadership officially admitted that without supplies from Pyan, the Russian military can no longer sustain [music] the intensity of its front lines operations. To top it off, Putin asked to pass alone his warmest wishes to Kim Chanan, praising their deep mutual understanding and friendship. This rhetoric only proves that Russia's international isolation is [music] complete. Instead of global leadership, the Kremlin has entered a desperate backroom alliance, effectively turning Russia into a junior partner to a closed communist dictatorship.
>> Once again, I would like to express my gratitude for your support of the special military operation we are conducting for the decision to deploy soldiers of the Korean People's Army to participate in the liberation of the territory of the Korsk region. The response from Ponyan was just as telling. During the meeting, North Korea's foreign minister openly declared that her country will, I quote, stand firmly alongside Russia until victory is achieved. Meanwhile, the Russian capital and the surrounding Moscow region have experienced one of the largest drone attacks to date. On Monday morning, dozens of drones broke through Russian air defenses, striking critical infrastructure across several districts.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Saban reported unprecedented rate, claiming that over 400 drones targeted the region, while Russian officials first reported that most targets were intercepted. Massive fires caught on camera tell a completely different story. Regional Governor Andre Vario admitted that the most severe damage occurred in Podorski and Odin. A major oil depot near Podorsk was directly hit and set on fire. Along with fuel infrastructure, Ukraine's drones targeted the logistics networks that the Russian military heavily relies on. Strikes hit the massive wildbur disruption happen and zujata logistics complex in doed. This commercial mega warehouses have essentially become military supply hubs used by Russia to store and distribute gear uniforms and dualuse equipment. This is second devastating strike on major Moscow logistic centers in the last three days, leaving the Kremlin center supply network severely disrupted. All these recent strikes on Russian infrastructure destroying the Kremlin's core political myth. The French publication Lemon reports that Ukraine's deep state strikes have shattered the public trust in Vladimir Putin. The old social contract stability in exchange for silence is officially broken. With explosions reaching Moscow, St. Petersburg and deep into Siberia, ordinary Russians are now witnessing the war from their own windows. The most critical hit was the strike on the OMS refinery in western Siberia over 2800 kilometers from KV. The shutdown of Russia's largest plant pushed the country into a severe fuel crisis, wiping out 40% of its refining capacity.
The Kremlin is trying to hide the damage and artificially cap prices, but this has only triggered a mass panic.
Citizens no longer trust official reports and a panic buying fuel, leaving gas stations completely empty.
Government restrictions, including fuel rationing via QR codes, have only created a booming black market. Now, European intelligence warns of an upcoming banking crush, driven a wartime inflation, 500,000 Russian businesses went bankrupt last year alone. Fearing a repeat of the 1998 financial collapse, people are starting to pull their savings out of banks. The entire system is fracturing from within.
Russia has drastically shifted its missile tactics against Ukraine, burning through its most expensive strategic reserves. The Institute for the Study of War reports that since the beginning of July, Russian forces have fired 17 ballistic missiles and 20 hypersonic tier missiles. This volume heavily exceeded Russia's total monthly production capacity. In just three weeks, Moscow spent twothirds of its annual supply of tirons with only 30 units scheduled for production in the entire year of 2026. [music] Russia is also draining its Iscander stockpiles, firing them faster than they can be built. At the same time, the Kremlin slashed its Shahid drone strikes nearly in half, down to 2900 in July from almost 6,000 in June. The new enemy tactics relies on heavily ballistic missiles accompanied by only a few decoy drones. According to the institute, this shift is highly calculated. Ballistic missiles carry a much higher impact rate than slower drones. Russia is intentionally depleting its own longterm missile talks to exploit the current shortage of Patriot interceptors in Ukraine. The Kremlin is essentially playing a high stakes gamble. Russian to inflict maximum damage before Ukraine receives a new air defense shipments from the west. While Ukrainian deep state drone strikes actively paralyze Russia's fuel and logistic sectors, a major political standoff is unfolding in Brussels. Financial Time reports that European Union's 21st sanctioned package against the Kremlin is officially stalled due to a push back from several Western European nations. Four days of intense closed door negotiations ended in gridlock as individual corporate interests took priority over a unified European strategy. The situation has exposed sharp political double standards. Despite strong public rhetoric regarding solidarity behind closed doors, various capitals are fighting for a specific exemption.
Greece is blocking the package to protect a mega shipper moving Russian gas. Germany and Portugal demand access to Russian fish. France and Italy want to soften visa bans for Russian military personnel. While Austria is holding out to freeze 2 billion euros for a fisen bank as diplomats involved directly note these extensive demands risk turning the entire package into a mere formality.
The stance has triggered a severe backlash from Ukraine's closest allies.
Baltic and Scandinavian members who cut all economic ties with Moscow on one day and sacrificed billions [music] are openly challenging their Western European colleagues. The prime minister of Latvia directly slammed the deadlock, stating that no European nation can continue profiting from Russia while pretending to demand peace. This package has become a definitive turning point for the EU. Meanwhile, the United States and Iran are teetering on the edge of an allout war following a major military escalation. The Washington Post reports that the crisis hit a tipping point after Iranian strike on a US base in Jordan. Your central comment confirmed they have recovered the remains of another service member bringing the total American death toll to four. In response, the Pentagon has launched a fresh wave of air strikes targeting Iranian military capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Ormos. Behind closed doors, US officials admit that Washington is preparing for a much wider war. Yet the plan faces a severe resource shortage.
Inside sources warn that the US lacks sufficient air defense systems and long range ammunition to sustain such an operation securely, adding that the White House remains disconnected from this military reality. Amid the shifting frontline, Donald Trump is using the escalation to pressure Congress. The US president has called on lawmakers to insert severe anti-Iran sanctions directly into the bipartisan Russian sanction bill. Trump invoked the memory of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, claiming he would have demanded this unified approach against Moscow and Thran. For now, the entire region remains a powered keg with both nations preparing for further military action.
Republicans should add Iran to the Russian sanctions bill. That's what Lindsay wanted to do and it was going to happen. Important. The US president called on lawmakers to insert severe anti-Iranian provisions directly into the bipartisan sanctions bill invoking the memory of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. Critically, Trump signaled that he is fully prepared to sign the legislation once it hits his desk.
Meanwhile, momentum is building in the Senate with strong calls for a swift vote without any further changes or delays. According to American media, the bill already has confirmed backing of over 60 senators. And that's it for today.
