PUTIN WAS TORN APART..... BY FEAR! WAS HE HIT?! MOSCOW IS IN RUINS! UKRAINE DID IT!
Added:It's hard to believe. Zelensky made a sensational statement about Putin. You have to hear this. Ukraine has finally found the key to the dictator's office.
>> [music] >> Right after Lavrov surrenders Moscow.
The Russians have finally dared.
Meanwhile, Ramstein ended in Ukraine's victory. Fedorov announced this publicly.
Partners are opening their arsenals wide for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. You won't believe what the West has done for Kyiv.
>> [music] >> The first behind the scenes details. The Russian Air Force has officially come to an end. The Kremlin now has a new reason to worry. A naval drone that is taking away the last safe zones has already gone on combat duty. Novorossiysk, get ready. And all of this happened just now.
Hello, I'm Darina Hatskala and we're getting started.
Ukraine has actually done it. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has officially announced the weakening of Putin politically on the battlefield and physically.
>> Putin is becoming weak. He is getting weaker.
And that's why he may intensify strikes against us, against our people with missiles and drones.
>> He also stated that Putin is afraid to end the war without results because the return of a huge army home could create new problems for the Kremlin.
That is why Moscow continues to cling to its maximalist goals. According to him, Putin's main dream is the revival of the empire under a new banner. But without Ukraine, this scenario simply falls apart. It seems that the Kremlin has finally realized they need to launch plan B. Lavrov started talking about the desire to achieve their goals through diplomacy.
>> For this, it is necessary to ensure that Russia's security on its western borders, the honor and dignity of our citizens and compatriots, including their right to their native Russian language and Orthodox faith, are reliably protected.
There can be no talk of continuing western military, political, and economic expansion.
This contradicts the imperatives of a multipolar world.
>> And in addition, he assured that Moscow is not refusing negotiations, but accused Europe of being interested in Russia's defeat. As we can see, Moscow's rhetoric is changing sharply.
Preparations for capitulation have indeed begun.
We are monitoring the developments.
Money, weapons, and new opportunities for the armed forces of Ukraine.
Partners are preparing military support for Ukraine worth billions of dollars.
The main focus air defense, artillery, and drones.
In other words, exactly what has been inflicting the most painful blows on Russia in recent months.
Ramstein has never been like this before.
>> Almost $1 billion will be allocated to the Pearl mechanism, which provides Ukraine with critically important missiles for the Patriot systems.
The largest contributions in this area were announced by Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden.
Additionally, Germany is allocating $200 million to a mechanism for the long-term procurement of Patriot missiles.
>> Our partners are empowering Ukraine even more seriously. Almost $540 million will go toward long-range artillery and ammunition, which will help strike the enemy where they have so far felt relatively safe. Norway, Denmark, Spain, Lithuania, and Luxembourg have actively joined this effort. But the biggest news is about drones.
Allies are ready to invest over $1 billion in them. The United Kingdom will fund the purchase of 150,000 Ukrainian drones. The Netherlands will provide funds for cruise missile drones for the defense forces.
And Norway will help strengthen the Ukrainian fleet of maritime drones.
It seems the West's bet on Ukrainian drones is getting even bigger.
>> Thank you to our partners for the support that strengthens our military and delivers practical results on the battlefield.
>> Our engineers are keeping up as well.
Ukraine has developed a unique maritime drone that can send not only ships to the bottom, but also bring down Russian aircraft. In Paris, the Ukrainian unmanned trimaran Sirena was presented, equipped with a powerful electronic warfare system and anti-aircraft missiles. The main feature of the system is its integrated multi-band jamming device. There is also a Sea Dragon launcher on board capable of deploying air-to-air missiles.
The trimaran is capable of reaching speeds of up to 90 km/h and carrying up to 300 kg of payload.
Additionally, the Sirena can operate continuously for up to 24 hours, providing coastal protection and conducting reconnaissance at distances of up to 800 km.
The hunt for Russian occupiers is reaching a new level, and as a result, it's very bad news for the enemy and yet another technological breakthrough for Ukraine.
You won't believe it, Moscow is weeping.
Ukrainian strikes have opened a direct road to hell for the Russians. Drones and ballistic missiles working together in a fiery tandem have accomplished the seemingly impossible. Putin's main gas station has been cut off from power. The air defense slept through all the strikes.
The Pantsir systems proved helpless.
Muscovites [music] were not prepared for this.
They are urgently fleeing the capital.
Moscow can no longer be revived. The diagnosis for the Kremlin fortress has never been so precise.
>> [music] >> Could this be a signal to Putin himself?
What will happen next? Don't miss it.
For the second time since the beginning of the week, but this time more effectively, Ukrainian drones have once again struck the oil refinery in Moscow, located in the Kapotnya district.
>> Look, everything is engulfed in flames.
The entire plant is ablaze.
Nothing but rockets are hitting, and somewhere else more are still incoming right now.
Two of them, as they say.
We have the best air defense. Just a massive fire everywhere.
Holy [ __ ] This is completely [ __ ] up.
I have absolutely never seen any kind of [ __ ] like this before in my entire life.
>> The mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, reported several times that air defense systems are operating on the approaches to the Russian capital.
About 200 drones have been destroyed. At first, he only reported that the debris from one of the drones had fallen on the territory of the Sadovod shopping center.
It is well known among Russians for its counterfeit branded goods.
He claimed that only minor damage was recorded there.
>> Sadovod is [ __ ] burning.
>> Later, Sobyanin admitted that several drones managed to reach the Moscow oil refinery. According to him, emergency services are working at the scene, and the consequences are being dealt with.
But, what actually happened?
Here are some shots of several interceptors unsuccessfully chasing a Ukrainian drone.
At least five fire outbreaks have been recorded at the oil refinery. Black smoke enveloped the Russian capital, and traffic on the MKAD was partially blocked.
>> Oh, the heat has come here.
>> And here is the moment when from the impact, the roof of one of the tanks is literally thrown upward. According to Telegram channels, it was blown off by an air defense missile that hit there.
The Moscow oil refinery is critically important for supplying fuel to the Russian capital. It provides about 40% of the gasoline and half of the diesel in the metropolitan region. And it is located just 15 km from the Kremlin.
>> There is no more work.
>> 1 2 3 4 Look Here, it's been smashed.
>> Muscovites are outraged and frightened by such a night time and early morning fireworks display.
>> I'm done with this procedure.
Everything is burning, all of Moscow is burning.
All the factories are burning?
I ended up here, damn it, like a dog.
>> The option is to wait and see. Maybe a day, two, three.
Let's see what happens and how we will act next.
And if again it's going to be the same pointless hassle without any relief.
One option is to gather together, come to the center of Moscow peacefully and civilly without so to speak any ulterior motives, to gather somewhere in the center, near the Ministry of Defense, near the Kremlin, and ask questions about what's going on.
>> They also reported that during the entire drone attack, there was no air raid siren in the Russian capital.
At the same time, one apartment building in the Russian capital was also damaged.
>> God has taken them into his house.
>> The Rosaviatsia Telegram channel reported several times throughout the day that all four airports of the Moscow Aviation Hub, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, and Ramenskoye, were closed for takeoff and landing. People from canceled flights are being asked not to come to the airport at Sheremetyevo due to the threat of an attack. Passengers and airport staff were evacuated to the underground parking lot.
And this is how the Domodedovo sign looks, both symbolic and ironic.
The sky over the Moscow region is also covered with thick black smoke today. A fire has been reported in the area of Dzerzhinsky Highway.
Additionally, debris from downed UAVs damaged houses, facilities in the industrial zone, and a shopping center.

>> The Russians are already biting their elbows. Ukraine is bringing a new silent weapon to the battlefield. No jet engines, no unnecessary noise, no chance for the enemy to react in time.
These electric bikes cover dozens of kilometers, transport everything needed, and appear where they are least expected. [music] While the occupiers are preparing for the war of the past, the armed forces of Ukraine are receiving the technology of the war of the future. And this could become a very unpleasant surprise for the enemy. You have to see this with your own eyes.
>> The electric bike uses a sinusoidal direct drive motor that makes absolutely no noise.
>> Nazar is the developer. He talks about the unique features of this electric bike. It was created specifically to meet the needs and requirements of the army.
>> First of all, which is unusual for electric bikes, it has a two-seater seat.
That is, we have a special seat for the driver and foldable footrests for the passenger.
The load capacity of our electric bike allows it to carry 200 kg, and you can even load up to 260 kg.
>> The battery in this electric bike can be removed in just a few seconds to quickly put it on charge.
It fully charges in 4 hours.
However, the device already has a long battery life.
It can even serve as a power bank for other devices.
>> Depending on how you ride, but it's at least 100 km on a full load. We have several connectors specifically designed for military needs. These are for a phone and a radio.
This connector here is used for the radio.
This connector is for charging the electric bike itself. You can charge it either directly through the bike's body or by removing the battery itself and taking it to a safe place.
>> An electric bike of this type allows soldiers to remain unnoticed by the enemy. Besides being completely silent, there are also other tactical nuances.
>> The rider, who is in a place where it's important not to be seen, also ensures that the electric bike itself doesn't light up when the ignition is turned on.
In other words, nothing will light up until we turn it on additionally.
This is the switch.
>> Being invisible is often the most important thing in a combat zone.
With these bikes, soldiers transport ammunition, medicine, and food. And they also rotate personnel.
So, camouflage is a key advantage, as is extremely high off-road capability.
>> Our ground clearance is over 40 cm. This allows us to cross any bodies of water up to half a meter deep. No problem.
That is, all the important components inside our bike do not get submerged in water up to half a meter. So, we can easily drive through.
>> The electric bike can travel through small bodies of water, swamps, mountainous terrain, and even forests.
And that's exactly what we're going to test now.
>> At this very moment, on a professional racing track like this.
>> But before heading out to the positions, these bikes went through dozens of test laps and trials, both by military personnel and civilian specialists.
>> By June 2025, we had already created a prototype, after which we presented this prototype to the military.
There were many representatives from the air assault forces, special operations forces, and scientific units.
>> Currently, the company is capable of producing 50 of these electric bikes per month.
If needed, the developers can assemble one unit in just a single day.
>> The demand for this equipment is enormous even when we last year during the demonstration trials, we were told that these were extremely desperately needed.
>> So now, defenders on the front line are already actively using this equipment.
>> Take a look at these tires. As you can clearly see, they feature a very aggressive tread pattern that allows you to easily climb up almost any steep hill just like you would in a high-performance off-road vehicle.
>> The cost of one such electric bike is 278,000 hryvnias.
Anastasia Tereshchuk, Yevheniy Olinsky, We Are Ukraine Marathon United News.
>> Fuel apocalypse in Russia. Gasoline is disappearing, gas stations are emptying, the country is gripped by fuel panic.
20 L per person. And this is just the beginning. Russia's fuel infrastructure is bursting at the seams. The fuel market in Russia is entering a phase of severe shortage.
Ukrainian drones are attacking Russian oil refineries around the clock. The oil-rich country is falling to its knees live on air. The Russians were not prepared for this turn of events.
[music] What will happen next? Shocking predictions. Don't miss it.
>> So, well, it is June 12th in Moscow along the Shchelkovskoye Highway.
Right now, you can only fill up 20 L of fuel.
>> The gasoline shortage has reached the Russian capital. Muscovites complain that gas stations are only selling up to 20 L of gasoline and up to 40 L of diesel per person.
The same situation is happening in St. Petersburg and in Tatarstan.
>> Now, at gas stations in Tatarstan, they give a maximum of 20 L of gasoline per person.
In >> In other places, the gas stations are either closed or there are huge lines of cars waiting for fuel.
>> I'm just panicking. What is even happening? Why is this happening?
The Tatneft station near my work is completely closed.
Then this is what's happening here. And look at what's going on at Tatneft.
There's just a massive, incredibly long line.
What is even going on right now? At some gas stations, the restrictions are a bit less severe.
Tell me, do you currently have any fuel restrictions?
>> 90 liters.
>> 90 liters for all types of fuel, right?
>> Yes.
Specialized fuel only.
I'm a street.
>> Uh-huh, I see. Thank you.
>> Due to the fuel shortage, even aircraft refueling has been restricted. They're saving fuel for the needs of the occupying army.
First of all, >> they are still prioritizing gasoline and diesel for the war.
So, Russians need to prepare themselves for these restrictions on gasoline and diesel.
They will have them until the end of military operations.
>> The fuel crisis in the federation is a consequence of a record series of Ukrainian strikes on its oil refining industry.
In just the past month and a half, more than 20 oil and gas facilities have come under attack. These include oil refineries, oil depots, terminals, and pumping stations.
>> Here, the fighting is real.
That is absolutely unbelievable.
I can't believe what I'm seeing right now.
>> A number of major Russian oil refineries have been damaged or temporarily shut down. Experts say that oil refining volumes in Russia have dropped to about the level of the 2009 crisis.
>> All this talk about total capacity, 430 million tons of refining, has long since been squandered.
They broke down a long time ago.
And it turns out that since the moment our firepower sanctions took effect, we've been gradually targeting not the weak spots. Out of 430 million tons, we were targeting the weak spots among the 280 million tons that were simply being processed at that time.
>> Overall, there are about 30 large oil refineries and more than 100 mini refineries in Russia. And it is precisely the small plants that can save the situation. However, there is a nuance.
>> The families of refineries will not always produce the same quality product that was standard according to Russian GOSTs, the usual quality on the Russian market.
So, people should prepare for a wave of dissatisfied drivers.
>> At the same time, the Russian authorities assure that there are supposedly no preconditions for a fuel shortage and that the imposed restrictions are merely a preventive measure.
>> They cannot openly talk about the problems because it is forbidden.
And as soon as they start saying that everything is fine with gasoline, people grab their canisters and head to the gas stations.
So, panic and shortage are exactly what is needed right now and what is most important.
>> Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries will continue and along with them the lines at gas stations will keep growing if those stations are even operating at all.
