Russian War Bloggers Say Russia is F***ed

Welcome back, Defenders. This is incredible. Drones caused 96% of Russia's losses in March, 34,000 troops killed or wounded. This is what President Zelensky says. Russian losses this March have reached their highest level since the start of the war. Our drone strikes alone resulted in 33,988 Russian service members killed or seriously

wounded, while artillery and other strikes eliminated another 1,363 Russian occupiers. That means more than 35,000 Russian losses in just one month. Ukraine's Ministry of Defense made this graphic and I really appreciate the face on this Russian soldier as he's being chased by a Ukrainian drone. And these videos are on the internet all day every day. You can see videos of Russian soldiers getting droned. This is happening in the occupied territories

and any Russian soldier who goes above ground within 50 kilometers of the contact line, eventually they're going to get droned. Ukraine has had a production breakthrough and they have enough skilled operators to just blanket coverage at least the Donbass region, but they're active everywhere. No place in the occupied territories is now safe for any Russian soldier to do troop rotations or supply runs or fuel runs or evacuations or anything. This video is three and a half minutes long and this is just a small portion from today. And Russia's not really adapting. They're not providing any

additional support for these soldiers. They're not even issuing them shotguns. That is shocking to me, but Russia refuses to learn and their frontline forces are paying the cost. There are some Russian military bloggers speaking up about how bad it's been recently. This is the pro-war Russian blogger Yuri Potalaka, and this is what he's saying today. He's been speaking out the last two weeks and for some reason Putin hasn't arrested him yet, but he's basically trying to get arrested at this point for what he's saying.

But today I would also like to address another very important issue that has already become apparent since the end of February, and even more seriously in March, when the enemies simply began overwhelming us with drones. We are, in fact, unable to keep up. In March we deployed nearly 6, thousand of them, which is even higher than the record set in July of 2025. However, according to the official reports from the

General Staff and Ministry of Defense, the enemy used almost twice as many. This shows that the enemy not only significantly increased the number of drones used in March, but also demonstrated the ability to plan and execute strategic offensive operations deep in the rear, that is in our rear areas. Personally I cannot recall us carrying out such operations at this scale with our own forces.

Yes, we are also striking back and causing noticeable damage, but overall we are clearly still lagging behind. And this leads to another serious issue. One problem stems from another. The fact is that we are still producing heavy armored vehicles in large quantities, which as you know have barely been used on the front line for many months now. Our infantry has long switched to lighter means of mobility and accordingly such heavy and expensive armored vehicles are simply not needed in such numbers. So he's gonna talk more about

why is the Russian Ministry of Defense still producing tanks and armored personnel carriers when they just get blown up instantly if we try and use them on the front lines so this Russian military blogger is upset that Russia isn't doing more to produce drones like the Ukrainians are doing. The Ukrainians are out producing in the weapon of choice or the weapon that matters currently on the battlefield here's another telegram post from a another russian blogger with 750 000 followers on telegram his name is Pazdinyakov and this is a bit more honest. everyone's completely effed. there's a effing gut feeling

that something truly truly terrifying is coming. even before the svo i didn't have this kind of jitters. it was clear a few days in advance that something was going to happen but now truly dark times are coming. if you're a russian, what do you have to look forward to? The Russians have not advanced anywhere in four months and they're taking record casualties. Nothing is going to improve for Russia any time soon, and all of Russia's pro-war cheerleaders know this.

But this is what I want to follow up on. Russian oil terminals under attack unable to accept shipments for second week straight. Both the oil export terminals on the Baltic Sea, Ust-Luga and Primorsk, neither of them have loaded up a single tanker in two weeks. For two weeks, Russia has exported nothing from the Baltic Sea. This is from Reuters.

Russia's Primorsk oil terminal lost 40% of storage tanks due to drone attacks. These are the most recent satellite images and this place looks pretty bad. Ukraine didn't destroy everything but they destroyed a lot and I'm sure this facility is going to take years to properly fix and replace everything that was damaged. I think if any tanker tries to start loading up at either Ust-Luga or Primorsk, Ukraine's going to send another drone wave. Russia's unable to stop them.

Russian oil output cuts are unavoidable as drone attacks shrink exports. So there's nowhere for the oil to go. They're still pumping in the Arctic, they're still pumping in the Urals, but where do you put it if you're not exporting onto ships? So Reuters is saying that Russia is going to have to reduce output by 20%. How well pressure works it's pretty complicated but basically when you reduce output it's hard to get the well pressure back to where it was to maintain a higher output

so this is really going to be devastating for the Russians. This is hurting them despite the record oil prices because of the war in the Middle East. Ukraine asked to ease attacks on Russian oil refineries amid Iran war price surge according to Budenov. And yes the Americans I'm sure have asked the Ukrainians stop attacking Russia's oil infrastructure oil prices are at record highs but Ukraine's not going to stop. Ukraine reportedly strikes Russian luke oil refinery defying calls to ease attacks

amid soaring fuel prices. This is the Kostovo refinery east of Moscow. Ukraine struck it again two nights ago. Here's the video showing the refinery on fire. Looks like a big fire. We can go to the bingo board and this is the Kostovo refinery. It's Russia's fourth largest. Ukraine previously struck it on November 4th of last year, so it's been almost 5 months. Produces 17 million tons of petrol products and it's only 800 kilometers from Ukraine's border. Ukraine might hit it again. We'll see. Ukraine strikes airfield in occupied Crimea, destroys an AN-72 aircraft and an Orion drone

base. Here's a video showing the destruction of a transport plane. This is an AN-72 and it was probably being worked on at the time but Firepoint drone definitely got it. And then this is some kind of drone base that was also attacked and I think there's a p-37 mech radar station that was also destroyed. Russian Su-30

fighter crashes in occupied Crimea. Fourth Russian military aircraft loss in four days. Russia has lost four planes in in four days so there's the AN-72 that was destroyed by a firepoint drone the other three either were shot down or crashed we're not really getting the pictures or videos or the real details we just get confirmation from Russian telegram channels, you know, eternal flights, the pilots were lost. So Russia lost the AN-72 in Crimea, then a Su-30 crashed, and then a Su-34 crashed.

The Su-30 I think the crew survived, but the Su-34, the pilots died. And then there's this Russian AN-26 transport plane. We don't know exactly, like some people say it's a Ukrainian drone that hit it or maybe Russia's own air defenses shot it down. Russia's 14th general killed since war began. His AN-26 may have been shot down by Russia's own air defense systems. It's possible, either way he's dead. And we get to go to my favorite Wikipedia page, List of Russian Generals Killed During

the Russo-Ukrainian War. And there's a pretty impressive list here, but if we go to the bottom we'll see the most recent entry. And this is Alexander Otrushenko. He was the commander of the mixed aviation corps, the northern fleet and he died on April 1st.

Ukrainian drone forces strike key Alchievsk metallurgic plant for the second time. Ukraine has been having tremendous success going after Russia's defense production. These are the chemical plants, the metallurgic plants, and this video is just really impressive. So these are firepoint drones coming in and you can see them, this is a compilation video, hitting one at a time. And this has to be more than a dozen drones swarming in on and destroying this place. So you can see how massive

this metallurgic plant is. It's just this sprawling complex. And this is the first firepoint drone. First impact. Second impact. Third impact. Fourth impact. Fifth impact. Sixth impact.

Seventh. fourth impact, fifth impact, sixth impact, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth.

At least 13 firepoint drones slammed into this giant factory. I'm sure that's going to disrupt operations for a little bit. Ukrainian drone raid hits chemical plants in Togliatti. This is another chemical plant and a local took this video saying everything is on fire. So you can see this chemical plant is exploding in numerous locations so I'm guessing when Ukraine goes in they're hitting these factories with six, seven, ten, twelve firepoint drones. It's

incredible. Ukraine's drone forces strike Russian s-400 radar in Crimea, the Donbass region. Here's another compilation video showing the destruction of a very valuable s-400 radar. That's the first thing in the video. Next thing I think is a TOR air defense system. It was struck once the vehicle ran into the woods to try and hide. The second firepoint drone went in to finish it off. This is a

smaller anti-air defense vehicle that was also destroyed and then these firepoint drones went for a fuel convoy. They went after rail cars in order to deprive the Russian military of any fuel. Magyars birds took out a Buk M1, wiped fuel stocks and hit logistics in Luhansk. So this is a short-range Buk air defense system. Ukraine got it with a firepoint drone. First drone went in, there was an explosion. Second drone came in, make sure it was finished off. Russia lost a grain ship

this is the cargo vessel the Volga Balt it sank in the Sea of Azov. There's not really an explanation of why it sank but it sank. Train derails in Ulyanovsk region injuring dozens. This is just Russia's rail network collapsing. I don't think Ukraine sabotaged this rail line or whatever, but a passenger car flipped over and lots of Russian civilians were injured.

Sweden Board's third Shadow Fleet vessel. Thank you so much Sweden. This is the Russian shadow fleet tanker the Flora 1 and it was leaking oil. There was a trail of oil emitting from behind it so Sweden decided to board the ship and make sure that mechanically they're okay I guess but they might detain the ship for a week or two and then release it like they usually do, but this should be happening to make sure

that these ships are not violating international law while transiting the Baltic Sea. Russian tanker out of control after failed towing according to Libyan authorities. This is the LNG tanker that blew up a month ago and Ukraine never officially took credit but I'm pretty confident it was Ukraine. This is a crazy headline. Ukrainian troops are in Libya, a launch pad for Mediterranean strikes on Russian shadow

fleet vehicles according to the RFI. RFI investigation finds more than 200 Ukrainian officers and technical specialists based across three Libyan cities with Tripoli's approval. so Libya is a failed state there's basically regional governors or warlords in charge of different parts of the country and the Russians are working with one of them.

So I'm guessing a different faction to counter what the other group is doing with the Russians, they decided to allow Ukraine to come to Libya and use their shoreline for forward operations. Now these LNG tankers, the one that exploded, since then Russia has been redirecting all their ships around the coast of Africa so they're not going through the Mediterranean, they're not going through the Red Sea it's safer at the moment to go around Africa but it adds another 10 to 14 days to the voyage so that takes time and that takes money. It's costing the Russians.

Ukraine may be striking Russia's shadow fleet from Libya. And Egypt just switched sides on stolen grain. Okay. Egypt was Russia's biggest stolen grain customer. Now it pledges to buy Ukrainian wheat instead. What could have changed?

Did Zelensky going to the Middle East and meeting with all the Gulf states influence, for example, Saudi Arabia to put pressure on Egypt to stop buying stolen Russian grain? Maybe. Either way, thank you so much to the Egyptians. Quick follow up on Telegram. And Telegram is officially blocked in russia as of april 1st however many russians are still using it and the owner of telegram pavel duroff kind of explains why telegram was banned in russia yet 65 million russians still use it daily via VPNs, with 50 million sending messages

every day. The government has spent years trying to ban VPNs too. Their blocking attempts just triggered a massive banking failure. Cash briefly became the only payment method nationwide yesterday. So Telegram is blocked, but if you have a VPN you can still use it. Now the Kremlin has been blocking VPNs all the time, but Russians just talk to each other

and they say, which VPN do you use that hasn't been blocked yet? They then go online and download it and they're still using telegram. I think as far as like blocking VPNs on a desktop computer or a laptop, that's impossible. You can't you can't block them all. But for iPhones or Samsung phones, if you just block them from the App Store in Russia, then Russians won't have telegram on their mobile phones, then Russians won't have Telegram on

their mobile phones, but they still can use it perhaps on laptops and desktops. Concerning Ukraine, it's been a rough couple days. Russia is still launching hundreds of drones and missiles almost every night. This was two nights ago 579 mostly drones but we got a couple cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. five dead at Nikopol market after moaning drone strike on top of 286 overnight. this is in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and this is just a market that the Russians decided to bomb. Five people killed, 19 more

injured. This is Garry Kasparov. Every damn day. Do not look away. Do not grow numb. This is terror. This is mass murder by Russia and Ukraine. every day Europe could close the skies and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself, and every day it chooses not to. There's a lot of blame to go around. But yes, I think the West, the last four years, could have and should have been doing more to make this war stop. In Chabani, Kiev, the Russians attacked a veterinarian clinic.

This is a veterinarian clinic in which five cats and two dogs were killed. People tried to go into the veterinarian clinic to rescue the animals, but they more than likely all died of smoke inhalation. We've gotten to the point where Russia is now bombing veterinarian clinics. Let's talk briefly about the war in Iran and there are no winners. Nobody's gonna win this war. Iran's gonna lose this war. Thean's going to lose this war. the gulf states

are going to lose this war. the united states is going to lose this war. europe and china, everyone is losing because global production is being destroyed. the iranians have bombed the habshan gas facility in the uae. this is their biggest gas processing site and it's taken extensive damage. This is the Babco oil refinery in Bahrain and Iran bombed it and it's taken extensive damage. This is Camp Beyring in Kuwait, a staging post for US forces and it's taken heavy damage. The United States military has basically abandoned all of their military bases in the Middle

East because they can't secure them. Russian or sorry, Iranian drones and missiles are getting through and the air defense systems in the region have just been overwhelmed. Ukraine has sent drone interceptor crews to the region to help out. They are successfully intercepting Iranian Shahids but it's still not enough. And the United States is taking a lot of losses. This is a CH-47 helicopter that was destroyed in a drone strike on an air base in Kuwait. In addition, this has been the worst

month in American aviation history since probably some point in Vietnam, but it's crazy how many aircraft the United States military has lost in the last two weeks. But here I think is a complete list. We have taken damage to an F-35. Four F-15s have been shot down. One A-10 Thunderbolt has been shot down. The Iranians have destroyed an AWACS plane.

This is the E-3G Sentry. Eight KC-135 tankers have been destroyed one crashed one damaged We've lost 17 Mq 9 Reaper drones and then it looks like we've lost four helicopters at this time The big excitement over the last two days was an F-15 crew was shot down over Iran. They had to employ their SEER training to avoid detection.

SEER stands for Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape. And they were able to be rescued by US Special Forces. Nobody was hurt or nobody died, that's the good news. Everyone survived the evacuation, but the United States lost another two planes. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the US military personnel and the airmen, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than having them fall into Iranian hands.

Why are combat missions over Iran being ordered when Iran still has active air defense systems? Iran still has a lot of military capabilities, even though my president claims they have none. So Trump doesn't want to do this anymore. Israel told him this would be an easy war. Just kill the Ayatollah, find some Iranian general to be our new strongman, and then

endorse, support, and prop them up. But this war is going to drag on, I think, for a long time. This is the cover of Time magazine, Where's the Exit? Trump looks for a way out of the Iran war and he's just tweeting insane stuff because he doesn't know what to do keep the oil anyone?

so the president of the United States is using the United States military to kill whoever he wants to kill and steal whatever he wants to steal he's a marauder. He's a thief. Like, I understand a lot of wars in history have been about resources or oil, but to just transparently say this. And then there's this tweet this morning, a contender for his most insane ever. Tuesday

will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up into one in Iran. So he's threatening more illegal actions. These are war crimes. There will be nothing like it. Open the effing straits you crazy bastards or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah. So this is the President of the United States on Easter praising Allah. And like 35% of my fellow Americans still support this insane nutjob who's getting our

soldiers killed, who's destroying our military, destroying the entire world. And 35% of my insane fellow Americans still choose to support him. Like there's nothing he can do that will lose their support. That is the definition of a cult. These people are brainwashed. They're never going to give up their support for him.

They're the worst people in the world guys. iran has rejected all u.s ceasefire proposals. trump keeps saying that they're talking to someone in iran when they're not. iran doesn't want to talk. iran is very upset. u.s intel warns iran won't budge on the strait of Hormuz. Iran is unlikely to relinquish control of the Strait of Hormuz, the waterway carrying a fifth of the world's oil, because doing so would surrender the only leverage it holds over Washington. Going back to January, there was mass protesting and rioting against the Islamic Republic government,

but because Donald Trump is now blowing up schools, blowing up bridges, blowing up power plants, this is causing the people to rally behind their government. For anyone who is ambivalent or apolitical in Iran, your government is the one fighting back. The government is the one trying to protect you in this war. So there's an incentive for the Iranian government to not stop the war, to have the United States keep committing war crimes and targeting the civilian population because it's now solidifying

their hold over the country. Every time the United States bombs a school or a power plant, the government of Iran becomes more entrenched, more popular with the people. This whole operation is backfiring horribly and Iran is saying they want control over the Strait of Hormuz and anytime a ship passes through they want to receive a check for two million dollars.

So if a hundred ships a day transit that's two hundred million dollars a day. You can't do this, this is against freedom of navigation of the seas. If Iran can charge two million dollars why can't Oman? Oman has the other side of the strait. Or what about the Houthis in Yemen or Djibouti? What about Denmark and ships sailing through the Danish straits?

Every government in the world could do this if Iran does it. We will fire on and destroy your ships unless you pay us $2 million per ship going through. So Iran can never get this, but Iran at the moment is fine just letting their people die and taking the blows because they think they're winning. And in a way they are. I just don't think my fellow Americans, especially Trump supporters, understand how big of a

country Iran is. This is the website thetruesize.com and you can see how big the country of Iran is compared to Europe. Iran is basically bigger than France and Germany combined. We can drag this over to the United States and you can see for yourself how big Iran is compared to the United... it's basically bigger than the old confederacy and this is 90 million people. Unless the United States uses nukes and just decides to kill everyone, there aren't enough

conventional bombs to drop on this country to bring them back to the Stone Age. It's 90 million people. The government is fine losing a couple million of them. If they think in the end they'll win and they'll be in a better position going forward. Beyond that, Trump is purging generals because I'm guessing they're refusing illegal orders. So Hegseth fired the US Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George. They also fired General David Hoden.

And then this is Major General William Green. He's the chief army chaplain. This is a chaplain that Trump just fired probably because he was speaking out against war crimes and illegal actions. But this is now 26 generals and admirals that have been fired by Trump in the last 14 months

None for misconduct

None of these people did anything wrong under a traditional system

Aside from they were not loyal enough to the dictator in addition Pete Hegseth has been denying the promotions of any

black or woman

Candidates so, you know you get to 06, that's a colonel, you then go through the promotion process to become a 1, 2, 3, or 4 star and just any woman, any black person, probably any Latino as well, they're all just being universally denied. Only straight white men are allowed to be generals or admirals in trump's military. these people are just racists, they're bigots, they're misogynists, they're the worst people in the world, and yes they're in charge of my military and 6,000 nuclear warheads and they're currently getting a lot of people killed. the situation is bad. and on top of that

trump's corrupt children are trying to profit off this war. company backed by trump's sons looks to sell drone interceptors to the gulf states being attacked by iran. so trump's kids are mad that ukraine went directly to the g Gulf states to sell their services because they're trying to extort the Gulf states for money. You want my father's protection? Then you better buy some of our drones or invest in our company. This is the most blatant corruption scheme ever and 35% of my fellow Americans are okay with it because

they're in favor of ending American democracy and having Trump become our new fascist fascist leader. It's bad. Strait of Hormuz remains open for Russian ships according to the Kremlin? Yeah, because the Russians are helping the Iranians kill American soldiers. I'm sure they're sending them drones. I'm sure they're sending them satellite images and any kind of resources they can to help. And then there's China. According to the Institute for the Study of War, China is helping Iran reconstitute

the Iranian missile program amid US-Israeli efforts to degrade it. China would love to see Iran destroy as much of the US military as possible so the United States can no way interfere with their invasion of Taiwan next year. My country is just falling apart. It's being destroyed. I'm going to keep making these videos for you guys though.

I'm not going anywhere. One piece of good news, Japan provides 1.3 billion grant to Ukraine via the ERA mechanism. Thank you so much Japan. Final video it is Easter Sunday so to all my Christian viewers happy Easter. This is the president for the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine. His name is Andy Hunter and he's currently in the UK and he's celebrating Easter with Ukrainian diaspora or the

refugees who are currently in London and I thought this was a nice video.

So this is the busiest shopping streets in all of Europe. This is Oxford Street and here we see this long queue of people and let's see what they're all queuing for. This is the Ukrainian Catholic Church and everyone has these baskets. Today everyone here is celebrating Easter and we can see there's about quarter of a million Ukrainians in the UK now. Last year in this queue you can see there were about 25 000 and everyone's got their baskets. You can see the most beautiful basket obviously is this one. What's inside we see the paska, the bread symbolizing Jesus, the meat, but my favorite is the

the horseradish, symbolizing the passion and the bitter herbs in the Bible. And then all these thousands and thousands of people coming together to celebrate Easter here in London, everyone coming together, the Bishop here, Bishop Ken Levikiewski, bringing everyone together. Wishing you all a very peaceful and happy Easter.

That's all for this update video. Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes. If you found this video informative give me a thumbs up, best way to support the channel. Comments and questions let me know down below. I love hearing from you guys. Till the next video, keep me know down below. I love hearing from you guys. Till the next video, keep defending the truth, keep defending democracy.
