$361,000,000 for ONE ATTACK: Putin is destroying RUSSIA from within!

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Hello my dear viewers. I'm Ula Horwan and this is according to plan. I'm going to lift the iron curtain for you so you can see what is really like to live in Putin's Russia today. For now, follow us, drop us a like and get ready for a pack show. Let's begin.

[00:00:18]The Russians just never learned from their mistakes and now karma has come back around again. This time in the form of Ukrainian drones. The strikes hit Veron Stagen Rock and to obsain Russia, plus the occupied cities of Donesk and Crimea. Our iron birds only targeted military sites. That includes the Baltimore airfield, which the Russians regularly used to launch air strikes on Ukraine. The aircraft repair plant in Tiganok also took some hits along with a some home to one of Russia's biggest oil refineries.

[00:00:58]some good morning. Huh?

[00:01:03]>> The Russians are seriously spooked by the new capabilities of Ukrainian drones. The strike on Moscow finally woke up them. Starting in June, they're planning to completely ban civilian aircraft from flying below 16,700 ft in the Moscow air zone. These restrictions will affect almost the entire European part of Russia, including the central regions. The news was reported by the inter regional public organization of pilots and civil aircraft owners. Basically, this means a ban on private helicopters and even small planes over a big chunk of central Russia. They haven't said how long these rules will last and they're not officially explaining why, but we all know the real reason. Looks like the Kremlin is pretty upset about Ukraine's latest big attacks. Russia's foreign ministry has now officially stated that they will strike military facilities um in Kiev. In other words, they are openly trying to intimidate embassy staff in the capital. Russian diplomats has to nerf to tell foreign diplomats and other foreign citizens to leave as soon as possible or they might get hit by a Russian missile. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zaharva confirmed that strikes on K have happened and will continue. Meanwhile, Ukraine center of countering disinformation called this an open announcement of terror against civilians. This is happening against the backdrop of Russia's inability to provide security on its own territory when even Moscow is now being hit by terrorizing civilians. Putin is trying to cover up his inability to keep Russia safe. And he is doing all of this instead of ending the war.

[00:02:53]>> In the meantime, KE, which was badly hit earlier this week, is already getting back to normal. The hardest hit area on Sunday was Salukanka. The market and shopping center there were completely destroyed and the metro station plus the nearby McDonald's were damaged. But the metro station was back up and running the same day. 3 days later the McDonald's reopened too. Somehow the fire didn't finish it off. The little street market near the station is already back as well. The locals Grandmas have become a real symbol of the neighborhood's toughness. Fox and Bilatva have also recovered from the strike by Putin's hyped up operation missile. One local guy posted a video showing how a long range ballistic missile worth millions of dollars blew up his garage.

[00:03:47]>> Vladimir Putin, let me show you what you spent millions of dollars on. These are garages. This is a garage complex. Can you believe it? Look in this garage right here. Uncle Sasha was planning to have a drink and relax. That was the strategic target, but you destroyed the garage. And in this one, we were supposed to rebuild the engine of our completely ordinary car. But now, there's nothing left to rebuild. It's destroyed, too. Look, let me remind you, Russia spent a huge amount of money on this massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine. The whole terrorist barriage cost the enemy more than $361 million.

[00:04:31]Just one medium range ballistic missile, the Ornik, cost around $50 million by itself. On top of that, the Russians fired 30 short range ballistic missiles, 54 cruise missiles, and 600 attack drones. In terms of spending, that's equal to the yearly budgets of dozens of small towns or hundreds of villages inside Russia. Russians keep complaining about their crumbling healthcare, terrible roads, and foiling utilities while their government blows hundreds of millions of dollars in a single night just to kill Ukrainians.

[00:05:11]And now the Kremlin has been caught lying. The New York Times citing Swedish analysts report that Russia's economy is in much worse condition than anyone realized. For years, Russia has been inflating its economic growth numbers and hiding the real inflation rate.

[00:05:32]While Moscow officially claims nearly 13% GDP growth in recent years, the new analysts show the economy has actually shrunk about 8%. Despite all their talk about stability, Russia central bank had to rise its key inter interest rate to a record 21%.

[00:05:52]That tells you how bad the inflation and overheating problems really are. At the same time, the Kremlin has already spent a big chunk of its reserves on the war against Ukraine and businesses are facing more defaults, worker shortages, and even sanctions pressure.

[00:06:12]Not everyone agrees with Sweden's assessment of Russia's reporting on its economy, but there is growing agreement about the economy's general fragility.

[00:06:21]Inside the country, elites are increasingly alarmed. Mr. Putin has acknowledged some weaknesses in the economy's performance and last month ordered officials to improve it. A Kremlin friendly think tank run by the brother of the Russian defense minister recently warned of the risks of a systemic banking crisis this year. And last week, the economic growth forecast for 2026 was downgraded to 0.4% despite rising oil prices.

[00:06:49]Bloomberg has also caught another important fact. Russia is selling off its gold reserves at a record pace.

[00:06:56]Since the beginning of 2026, Russia has cut its gold holdings by 900,000 ounces, down to less than 73 million ounces. As of the 1st of May, reserves hit their lowest level since the fullscale invasion of Ukraine began.

[00:07:14]We've shown you this before, but it's still shocking every time. Our team did a little research and pulled together videos made by Russian people themselves about life in the remote parts of the country since the full scale war started. Their towns and villages already looked pretty rough before. Now they're literally falling apart. The houses these people live in are in such bad shape they could collapse on their hands any day. While Putin spends billions on a pointless losen war against Ukraine.

[00:07:56]Two years ago, this part of the floor collapsed. They threw down a few boards here so we could still walk. If the floor caves in completely, the pipes, the heating, the water, all of it will fall into the basement. Everything will collapse. It's simply impossible to walk here. Look at these steps. I'm pressing on them. Stepping down there.

[00:08:18]Since we don't have showers or anything like that, there's not even a public bath house in the city. We had to make this ourselves with our own money. So, this is our shower. Just a boiler and a sink.

[00:08:32]It looks like the Russian authorities see how bad things are getting. But their solution is pretty strange. If Russians complain about life online, they can just turn it off. They have already started preparing people for this. One of Putin's close alias, the so-called Russian philosopher Alexander Dugan openly told his fellow citizens that the internet is a privilege and you have to earn it.

[00:09:01]I think maybe internet access should be given out in portions. For good behavior, for example, people need to learn how to use the internet. You kind of have to grow into it. You have to earn it.

[00:09:13]The economic decline, the long dragged out war and the herotic strikes on Ukraine with no clear goal. All of this is starting to scare the Russian elites.

[00:09:24]Let's be honest, they are not against destroying Ukraine, but for them, the goal doesn't justify the cost. The Guardian reports that there is growing deep disappointment with Putin among Russia's elite because of the country's increasingly isolated position. Business leaders, officials, and even some people close to the Kremlin are talking more and more about selfdestructive decisions, losing the future and the risk of a major crisis. Despite this, sources told the Guardian that Putin is still obsessed with talking and taken.

[00:09:58]Donbasan believes he can fully capture it by the end of the year, even though his generals are apparently feeding him a rosy picture of the situation.

[00:10:09]Meanwhile, internet restrictions are tightening in Russia, taxes are rising, inflation is growing, and public danger is increasing. Russians are joking more often that their country is starting to look like North Korea.

[00:10:24]>> There's definitely been a shift in mood among the elites this year. There is profound disappointment in Putin, said a well-connected business leader, adding that there was a growing sense that some kind of catastrophe is looming. No one believes everything will suddenly collapse tomorrow, the source said. But there is a growing realization that utterly senseless, self-destructive decisions keep being made. People who once defended Putin no longer do. Any sense of a future has disappeared.

[00:10:54]>> According to the Russian outlet, Verska, a fear and uncertainty about their future are growing stronger inside the Krain system. Mid-level officials are already trying to move their kids abroad, worried about criminal cases, loss in their jobs, and a possible collapse in the current government.

[00:11:12]Sources inside Putin's administration admit the war has dragged on much longer than the Kremlin expected. Economic pressure is mounting and the elites are less and less sure what the power structure will look like in the coming years. At the same time, Putin's inner circle is even more afraid of change because if the system falls, there will be the first ones who have to run.

[00:11:39]People who spoke to the outlet also described growing gloomy moods, distrust inside the system itself and their belief that things will either stay just as bad or get even worse. According to them, two main groups have formed in the Kremlin. those who control domestic policy and those who are making money off the war. That's all for today.
