️IS THIS PLAN TO END WAR?! PUTIN SIGNED SOMETHING HE DIDN’T UNDERSTAND, KREMLIN IS ALREADY TRAPPED!

[00:00:00]Urgent. This has finally gotten to Putin. Ukraine claims victory. Russia is actually signing the capitulation. The White House has taken a shocking step.

[00:00:08]The Kremlin has been forced to bow its head before Kyiv. A moment of triumph.

[00:00:12]The Ukrainian armed forces are cutting off several strategic directions on the front at once. A new counteroffensive by our forces that sends chills down your spine.

[00:00:20]>> [music] >> The main Z patriots are crying out that this is not how they imagined the end of the special military operation. The tactics of the Ukrainian defenders are making Russian mercenaries melt down live on air.

[00:00:32]>> [music] >> Now everyone is openly talking about it.

[00:00:34]Russia without Putin? Ukraine has launched a deadly flash mob for the dictator's regime. A coup in Moscow? A new reality. [music] Meanwhile, the scale of the relay in Crimea has changed. The Russian fuel system is bursting at the seams. It's no laughing matter now.

[00:00:49]The Russian army has been left to fend for itself. Gasoline is a luxury. All this in our episode Hell Point. This is the finale. Ukraine and Europe are officially ending the war with the complete capitulation of the Kremlin. A historic breakthrough that has plunged Moscow into mourning. The cards are on the table. The White House has approved Ukraine's victory plan.

[00:01:08]The GRU is finished. Ukraine is indeed claiming victory for itself.

[00:01:12]All the hottest details in the report in just a moment.

[00:01:16]>> Not long ago, the main question was this. Could Donald Trump quickly stop the war? But now this scenario looks different. The negotiation process has stalled and Ukraine is betting on a different approach. First to strengthen its positions and only then to sit down at the negotiating table.

[00:01:33]>> We are also preparing for extremely important summits.

[00:01:36]This summer. The EU summit, the G7 summit, the NATO summit. Each of these platforms must be productive for Ukraine.

[00:01:44]>> Ukraine is preparing a so-called double offensive simultaneously on the battlefield and in diplomacy. And one of the directions is military.

[00:01:58]Just recall Ukraine's visit to the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, which is so important for Russia.

[00:02:07]Ukraine is increasing its long-range strikes and the production of medium-range drones. One of the plans is to create a so-called logistical lockdown in Crimea to complicate the supply lines for the Russian >> Grouping is the systematic process of organizing individual elements into distinct categories based on shared characteristics, which helps improve the overall structure and clarity of the data.

[00:02:34]Even over the entirely separate and distinct [music] Donetsk region, to say nothing of the situation in, accordingly, the vital industrial heartlands, the positions of the Russian side at the negotiating table will be considerably more precarious and shaky.

[00:02:53]>> But at the same time, Ukraine is waging a second front, a diplomatic one.

[00:02:57]Zelenskyy is calling on partners to get more actively involved and to jointly put pressure on Moscow.

[00:03:06]A symbol of this diplomatic campaign was the appeal to Putin in the form of an open letter. In Kyiv, they did not expect Moscow to agree to end the war as early as summer, since the calculation was for a different moment.

[00:03:19]>> This is already a seizure of the diplomatic initiative and in fact a mirroring of the tactics of the Russian dictator himself. In other words, raising the stakes.

[00:03:30]This time it is the Ukrainian side that is raising the stakes [music] to the maximum.

[00:03:35]That is, they are essentially making it clear that they are considering diplomatic efforts at the moment of ending the war, but the priority is first and foremost the military component, specifically undermining the Russian economy and inflicting maximum defeat.

[00:03:50]>> Another element of this strategy is working with Europe. Ukraine wants European countries not just to be observers, but to be full participants in the future process.

[00:04:00]>> Every positive piece of news from the EU confirms that Ukraine is on the right path and that our partners are with us, with Ukraine. We are preparing meetings with some of our most capable partners in Europe.

[00:04:12]We are counting on good results.

[00:04:14]Strong decisions, and this is important.

[00:04:18]>> This is also demonstrated by the statement of Keith Kellogg, who believes that although negotiations between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States have stalled, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, quite the opposite.

[00:04:30]>> Throughout the [music] video, Kellogg maintained that Ukraine's position has significantly strengthened at this point, especially in the military aspect of the negotiation process.

[00:04:41]The Russian Federation has in fact been deprived of these so-called trump cards, namely the ability to change the situation on the front line, plus it now faces more serious problems.

[00:04:56]>> But the Ukrainian strategy specifies a concrete time frame, October-November.

[00:05:02]This period is referred to as the window of opportunity for negotiations. It is by this time that several factors may coincide. The situation at the front, increased military pressure, and the international political context. And >> We're talking about elections both in the Russian Federation and accordingly about the international elections in the USA.

[00:05:22]Accordingly, both the Ukrainian and Russian sides understand that the US will exert maximum pressure on both the Russian Federation and Ukraine at the moment of signing the so-called peace negotiations.

[00:05:36]That is, the US needs to show real successes on the international stage.

[00:05:41]>> At the same time, Ukraine is intensifying strikes on Russian logistics, building up its military capabilities, and conducting active diplomatic pressure. But what is the ultimate goal of this combination? Is it really an attempt to bring Russia to the table for >> What exactly do we mean by negotiations in this context? Specifically, we are talking about establishing full and undisputed control over the entire territory of the Donetsk region.

[00:06:07]Therefore, it is not merely an ordinary assessment or a simple observation to say that [music] this factor fundamentally shapes the strategic positions of the Ukrainian side throughout the ongoing negotiation process, influencing every decision made on the international stage by the time autumn arrives.

[00:06:25]And even by the end of the summer season, they could potentially and quite seriously strengthen their position.

[00:06:32]>> Previously, much was linked only to the United States. But now Ukraine is acting together with Europe, increasing the pressure. And the main point is that the initiative is gradually shifting away from Russia. Ukraine is trying to create conditions in which Putin will have less and less room to maneuver.

[00:06:50]>> You won't believe it. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have launched a new counteroffensive. They are cutting off pieces of occupied territory one after another near Lyman. Right at this moment, Putin's army is taking a serious beating. The final battles The large-scale liberation of territories has begun with unprecedented momentum.

[00:07:07]Our new tactics are forcing the Kremlin to go gray before our eyes. You won't believe it, but this powerful strike force could knock Russia out in the very near future. Shocking details are coming up next. Don't miss them.

[00:07:22]The Armed Forces of Ukraine are counterattacking.

[00:07:26]>> The enemy is being crushed, but our battle formations are also suffering enormous losses. By the way, the Rashist occupiers are suffering very heavy equipment losses on all operational fronts.

[00:07:38]>> The Ukrainian Defense Forces have made advances on several sections of the front at once.

[00:07:44]>> Drones are a major loss, and losses are happening reliably every day.

[00:07:48]>> Maintaining stability is absolutely of the utmost importance.

[00:07:52]>> And so far, the enemy remains bogged down in their own defenses.

[00:07:58]>> [music] >> One of the key directions is Brovary.

[00:08:03]According to the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrainian forces have launched active counteroffensive operations in the Brovary and Livka area. Even the Z forces admitted part of the settlement has already been returned to Ukrainian control.

[00:08:24]The enemy is also unable to advance on the Sloviansk direction.

[00:08:30]>> Geolocated footage published on June 13th shows Ukrainian soldiers in the northeastern part of Rai-Oleksandrivka, southeast of Sloviansk, in areas where the occupiers had previously claimed control.

[00:08:42]>> At the same time, advances are being recorded in the Oleksandrivka direction.

[00:08:46]Ukrainian units are operating precisely, penetrating several kilometers deep and regaining control over certain positions and settlements.

[00:08:56]>> Geolocated footage from June 13th shows Ukrainian soldiers at several positions to the northeast and east of Ternove, southeast of Oleksandrivka, north of Zaporizhzhia, south of Ternove, as well as in the southeastern part of Novohryhorivka.

[00:09:10]This indicates that the Ukrainian armed forces have likely advanced to the northeast and east of Ternove and have liberated Novohryhorivka and Bereziv, to the west of Novohryhorivka and southwest of Ternove.

[00:09:20]These images also indicate a slight advance of Ukrainian forces in the northern part of Novohryhorivka, south of Oleksandrivka.

[00:09:28]>> The situation is rapidly deteriorating for the occupiers in the Lyman direction as well. Ukrainian troops are methodically cutting off Russian salients without destroying the enemy's defenses, forcing them to withdraw from previously occupied positions.

[00:09:45]And here the Russian Z supporters are whining. The armed forces of Ukraine are carrying out successful assault operations, and the commanders of Russian brigades are trying to hide the real scale of what is happening from their higher leadership.

[00:09:58]Another area of pressure is the small Novosilka.

[00:10:02]>> At the top, you'd better pay attention because the AFU will soon gain a foothold in Komar. I know it, and as for those who might lose their medals there, I'm thinking about victory. But as for this, how does that work? If the AFU secures a foothold in Komar and they paint a picture there, what excuses will they come up with then? Reinforcements are urgently needed for that sector.

[00:10:23]>> The situation in southern Ukraine is especially painful for the enemy.

[00:10:28]>> Personally, I have no electricity at home. I have no hot water.

[00:10:32]How will it turn out for us now? I really hope that somehow they'll switch the line and give us electricity.

[00:10:39]Because living without electricity isn't very pleasant.

[00:10:43]As for hot water, the forecasts are not encouraging. They say maybe by winter.

[00:10:47]They won't be installing this pain for us.

[00:10:50]>> The enemy considered Melitopol, Berdiansk, Enerhodar, and Henichesk their deep rear for far too long.

[00:10:57]For too long, they used the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions as a logistics center to supply their troops.

[00:11:05]For too long, they kept convincing people that the occupation was forever.

[00:11:11]Today, the situation is changing.

[00:11:14]>> Ukraine's defense forces are systematically striking military infrastructure, command posts, ammunition depots, logistics centers, and supply routes, the enemy's supply lines.

[00:11:27]>> [music] >> According to The Economist, Ukrainian deep strikes have become much larger in scale and more systematic than previously thought. In 2025, 658 strikes were recorded on targets more than 100 km away, more than in the previous 3 years combined. Given the current pace, their number could exceed 800.

[00:12:02]The targets are not random, but rather Russian strategic infrastructure.

[00:12:06]Out of more than 6,000 sites classified by analysts as critical, nearly every third one has come under the impact of Ukrainian strikes.

[00:12:22]At the same time, the tactics have changed. Ukraine is increasingly carrying out repeated strikes on the same targets.

[00:12:28]This complicates restoration and turns repairs into a constant, expensive, and exhausting process for the Russian economy.

[00:12:36]The most significant impact is in the oil and gas sector.

[00:12:46]According to estimates, the cost for restoring oil refining capacities alone have risen by tens of billions of dollars.

[00:12:57]>> [music] >> And most importantly, the strikes hit not only the infrastructure, but also the logic of Russian exports. According to analysts, revenues from energy sales are already noticeably lower than projected.

[00:13:12]The gap amounts to billions of dollars and continues to grow.

[00:13:18]>> Every voice matters. Join our community, support independent journalism, and help us bring you the truth from Ukraine.

[00:13:25]Become a member of Ukraine today. Join us now.

[00:13:28]>> A great panic is starting in the Kremlin. Putin's fortress has crumbled and the bunker dweller is languishing at the bottom of the approval ratings. The war, which they promised to finish in a matter of days, has dragged on for years and the culprit has finally been found.

[00:13:42]A statement that could have really made those in the bunker tense up. Zelensky grabbed the Kremlin with both hands.

[00:13:49]This is trolling of the highest order. A scenario in which Ukraine will have to discuss peace agreements with a different person in the Kremlin. Could it be that even the Russian elite has started preparing for the post-Putin era? Let's see.

[00:14:04]Putin's regime is cracking. There are more and more signals about problems inside Russia. From declining support to discontent among those who are once part of the system.

[00:14:14]>> We are still suffering from lies that come at various levels.

[00:14:18]>> While the Kremlin tries to project confidence, reports are emerging that tell a different story about the growing tension inside the country and even among those closest.

[00:14:32]>> The elite inner circle of the Russian leadership president.

[00:14:40]They are trying to find a way out of the dead end and there is definitely a dead end because Putin has no intention of leaving. Putin plans to live forever. He is trying to find ways to live forever.

[00:14:51]And quite accordingly, all of this inevitably leads to the stark fact that the Russian political elites for the most part simply do not understand what they ought to do next.

[00:15:03]>> Ukrainian intelligence has obtained exclusive documents about Putin's approval rating.

[00:15:07]>> [music] >> Zelensky showed data about the internal situation in Russia. They state that Putin's approval rating could drop to 55% while disapproval could rise to 33% as early as September.

[00:15:19]According to you >> Putin rarely receives completely truthful information without embellishments. However, even the materials that are presented to him allow for certain conclusions to be drawn. [music] In particular, he noted the trend of declining support for the ruling party in Russia, which in his opinion could mean the need for more widespread falsifications. Also, according to him, >> [music] >> there is a noted increase in protest sentiments in Russia.

[00:15:45]>> These various and diverse geographical regions encompass a wide array of different landscapes, ranging from the high mountain peaks to the deep valleys and the sprawling coastal plains that define the unique character of the entire territory.

[00:16:01]More specifically, there is an open question when people are asked, "Which politicians do you trust?" And in such a question, suddenly less than 30% mention Putin.

[00:16:12]>> But there is a problem. Parliamentary elections in Russia are already in September and the ratings are at a record low. How could this affect the elections?

[00:16:22]>> I think there will be total falsifications.

[00:16:26]Let's not forget that there is a completely non-transparent electronic voting system, so there's really nothing to count on, except perhaps the politicization of the population ahead of the elections. Because regardless of the extent to which the authorities would fundamentally like people to remain in a state of absolute silence, to hear nothing at all and to notice absolutely nothing, it is precisely during the period leading up to the elections that people naturally and inevitably start to become much more politicized, which means that [music] protest sentiments and public dissatisfaction will still be on the rise.

[00:17:00]>> According to the Ukrainian president, these figures could become even worse since recent events have not yet been taken into account in these assessments.

[00:17:08]And it is unlikely that this decline can be stopped or even that the situation can be improved.

[00:17:14]>> It is basically impossible to raise Putin's approval rating today because the only thing that could increase his rating is his death. Nothing else is capable of raising his rating anymore.

[00:17:25]So, everything else will simply be pure falsification.

[00:17:29]>> If you look at this story as a whole, the numbers and ratings themselves are just the outward part.

[00:17:34]What's more important is why such data is being made public right now in the first place.

[00:17:41]After all, Putin's empire used to seem so powerful, but now Ukraine is increasingly exposing its weak sides in various ways.

[00:17:51]>> There's simply no gas.

[00:17:53]Where's the gas? Where is the gas in this great oil-rich country?

[00:17:57]>> And the timing of these statements is especially important against the backdrop of preparations for key international events, the Group of Seven and North Atlantic Treaty Organization summits, discussions of new aid packages and sanctions.

[00:18:11]>> We will also talk with our partners in Europe about legislative changes that would actually allow tankers to be detained for a longer period of time.

[00:18:17]They are making money from the war for Putin and only for him.

[00:18:21]>> In this context, such publications do not function as statistics, but rather as a tool of political argumentation before our partners.

[00:18:40]>> So, this removal of the main point, well, then prohibition of modern international politics that we do not interfere in the internal affairs of countries, no matter what kind of regime is in Lviv. This today seems to me the most important thing on which we should focus our efforts. That Putin has already lost his mind to such an extent that he has become dangerous for everyone.

[00:19:04]>> While the Kremlin insists on maintaining full control over the situation inside the country and at the front, the Ukrainian side is shaping a different image. It's no longer just about numbers or specific data, but about the gradual erosion of the idea of absolute control over the system. As a result, the image of complete control in the Kremlin seems not to exist at all.

[00:19:26]>> He lives in his own resolved world, and that's exactly what makes him dangerous.

[00:19:30]Because in his resolved world, he wins the war every day. That's precisely why he doesn't want peace. That's why he doesn't want to negotiate. Because in his resolved world, everything is fine for him. He has no problems [music] in Russia. He has no problems at the front.

[00:19:45]And in general, the only problem is that Europeans understand that resolved reality, not the one they themselves understand.

[00:19:52]>> The point is that within Putin's system, including his inner circle and the elites, things are intensifying. Signs of distrust and tension. At the same time, Ukraine is showing that the previously closed Russian system no longer appears completely impenetrable.

[00:20:07]And this constant pressure is happening against the backdrop of [music] key political moments, Russia's elections and international summits.

[00:20:17]>> Well, that's a surprise. The bar has been raised. The fuel shortage in Crimea has spread to Russia. There is no fuel.

[00:20:22]In Moscow, gas stations are in complete chaos. It's a full-blown gasoline fever.

[00:20:27]There's no stopping it now.

[00:20:29]Every drop of fuel is worth its weight in gold. The Hunger Games are beginning among Russians.

[00:20:34]The authorities just shrug their shoulders. The shortage has reached the Russian army as well. A similar moment of truth has arrived. The so-called special military operation will end due to a lack of gasoline. The dictator will have to send his troops out on donkeys.

[00:20:47]>> [music] >> Let's watch.

[00:20:50]>> Gasoline is more expensive than gold.

[00:20:52]Gold. The occupied Crimean peninsula is crying out loud. You can't find fuel there even during the day with a flashlight. Thousands of tourists are stranded at the resorts of Sevastopol and Yalta, simply unable to return to mother Russia in their cars.

[00:21:07]>> There is absolutely no gasoline. There is no good weather and there is no internet connection at all. Everyone go to Crimea, relax, sunbathe.

[00:21:17]>> Already today fuel prices in Crimea have skyrocketed. Thanks to endless raids by Ukrainian drones, the gas station country of Arafa is turning into a state with an outstretched hand. It begs its few allied countries for at least a canister of gasoline at any price.

[00:21:34]>> You can see that 92 and 95 octane gasoline have already reached a new historical high in price per ton.

[00:21:40]So, they've skyrocketed. Since the beginning of the year, prices there have already increased by about 40 to 45%.

[00:21:47]>> And that's just the official figure. In reality, gasoline prices in most Russian regions have jumped much higher.

[00:21:54]>> Prices are much higher.

[00:21:56]So, now it's not just in Crimea, not just in Sevastopol, but even in Krasnodar Krai and Rostov, people are willing to pay extra. There, they're paying 100, 130, even 150 hryvnias per liter. In Crimea, I've seen figures reaching 200 to 300 hryvnias per liter.

[00:22:10]Just to somehow buy it from resellers because there is physically no fuel.

[00:22:14]>> In fact, in Primorye, gasoline is only available from resellers. And even they, selling it at sky-high prices, can't meet all the demand.

[00:22:24]>> Sellers from Crimea and Donbas, lacking fuel, have flooded Krasnodar. Crimea won't be saved either, just like Novorossiysk. There are big problems.

[00:22:32]You can't stock up even 20 L.

[00:22:35]And now there are already some great photos.

[00:22:39]Resellers have flooded into Rostov and the Rostov region.

[00:22:42]They're buying up gasoline, filling up canisters.

[00:22:45]And so, they can go and sell it where there's no gasoline, selling it two or three times more expensive.

[00:22:51]>> The fuel shortage is so catastrophic that even the Russian military doesn't have enough gasoline or diesel.

[00:22:57]>> Girls, please give us some gasoline.

[00:22:59]We don't have any at all over there.

[00:23:05]Please, give us some gasoline.

[00:23:07]We need it for the command post.

[00:23:10]>> As you can see, they also have to find ways to cope, driving to neighboring regions to gas stations. But, instead of doing it secretly, the thick-headed Russian contract soldiers broadcasted their new life hack all over the internet.

[00:23:22]>> You exposed the white and red civilian cars with a bunch of gas cans in their trunks, and now >> [music] >> Ukrainians will know that civilian cars are carrying lots of gasoline cans in their trunks and will target those [music] cars.

[00:23:34]>> So, this little scheme of resellers and soldiers will soon be shut down by Ukrainian drones as well.

[00:23:41]>> And it's burning in the back.

[00:23:45]And it's being stored.

[00:23:50]It's burning, and we're standing here like a drowned ivy.

[00:23:53]>> Meanwhile, due to the fuel shortage, Russia is rapidly regressing from the 21st century to the 19th, switching from cars and mopeds to horse-drawn transport.

[00:24:04]Yes, one company in Gelendzhik, due to gasoline shortages, has started looking for couriers on horseback.

[00:24:10]And these are by no means isolated incidents. Even Gazprom has been forced to introduce horseback riding courses for its employees.

[00:24:19]>> Zina, I don't think so. Who's that guy out on the street? Look out the window.

[00:24:22]See, there's a man and it says Gazprom on his jacket.

[00:24:26]And he's switched to a horse because there's no gasoline. Damn, we've really hit rock bottom.

[00:24:32]>> It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

[00:24:34]If the fuel situation on the peninsula doesn't improve, and thanks to the endless strikes by the Ukrainian armed forces, it's only going to get worse.

[00:24:43]Very dark times await Crimea.

[00:24:46]Without gasoline, everything will come to a halt instantly. Agriculture, stores will stop operating as they will no longer receive deliveries of goods. At the same time, public transportation and the healthcare system will come to a halt. And everything else that can possibly stop will stop, too. The resort season will end before it even begins, and the occupiers will have to pack their bags and really walk back to their homeland. After all, there definitely won't be enough horses and carts for everyone.
