Update from Ukraine | SMASHED! Ukraine Ends Rus Oil | Russian defeat is Imminent
Hello my friends and welcome, I hope you're doing great, because we have fantastic news.A new volcano eruption has been registered in Russian Tuapse.Yes, it's already third strike of Ukrainian army on this oil port, which is crucial for the Russian oil export.If we speak about the number of the oil tanks which were there, it was one of the biggest ports in Russia in general.Yes, Novorossiysk port which is not that far away from Tuapse by the way is also very important and it was visited many times by Ukrainian drones.But this one was also crucial for Russia and it is gone.
Physically, nothing is left, maybe a few of the tanks, but this time Ukraine hit the most important part and I would say that's the end.They will not restore it for many years, I guess, because devastations there are crazy.And this flame, just watch this video, this is crazy.The flame is way, way higher than several storey buildings out there.Ah, those are the oil tanks probably left.This building is big, and that is further away, those flames, and everything is going up like definitely a volcano.
Look, this is the building on a hill, on a mountain.And it is big.And the flame goes way, way, way higher.Hundreds of meters or feet, maybe even thousands of feet into the sky.Crazy!One more perspective from different angle, closer to the facility itself.
That oil tank is damaged.it's visible, two were not damaged, probably they were empty and oh my god this is crazy.That's the end of Tuapse, that even the buildings are on fire, with the critical components, equipment, oil there spilled all across the facility and it is burning.The oil was pouring even to the streets of Tuapse.Here we have a very short video, like 3 seconds, and you see oil and some of the building there.It looks like a real volcano eruption, then lava goes into some of the settlements, burning everything around.
So this is the cosplay on real volcano.which is actually working the same way.Just look at this picture, that's the highest and probably the strongest flame I have ever seen in Russia.It's not an easy job to restore everything of that, I think they will make it after Putin's presidency, after several years maybe, and if the war by the time still continues, Ukraine may visit the same port once again.You see it's very very effective with those drones and everything.Fantastic job, absolutely great.
Some of the Russian officials walking there.The only downside I would mention is the damage to ecology, to all of the animals, trees and bushes, to the sea itself.creatures there it's very bad yeah but Ukraine is left without any sort of the chance of how to physically disable Russian oil export we would like to cut that one in other way in diplomatic really for our European colleagues and for our partners across the ocean for everyone to stop buying Russian oil but they still want to trade so that's the only option for Ukraine to cancel that and some of the Russian officials trying to show that they're doing something.But what can they do in this situation?It is no -go.I guess if you want to know where I find the information about Tuapseka booms, about other stuff, also from the legacy media, well, I follow some of the publics, but I also follow and check ground news every day.
This source really helps me a lot and I subscribe for it for a very very long time, I guess already three years.something like that.Yeah, two and a half for sure.And here you may read about Tuapse.So, drone attack causes fire at Russian's Tuapse refinery building nearby evacuated.Buildings nearby evacuated, 56 of the articles we have from the multiple news sources.
And you may check bias distribution, that's the political one.Also, you may check factuality report, news based on facts, because yeah.with all the videos.And you may have all of that data in the articles themselves.For example, this is the high factuality, Lin's left.This is the very high factuality, and Lin's right.
You may immediately check the ownership and compare the articles.I immediately look for the articles and I say, okay, this is the Russian head of emergency services who went to Caucasus for inspection.But whether he is capable to stop the fire and restore Tuapse port, No, he is just there for PR and Putin saying, oh, they're doing everything possible.Yeah, of course, of course.So ground news is absolutely fantastic.They have a dedicated chapter for Ukraine where you may check all of the related news.
And not just about Ukraine, it's about world events.Top hot topics are there, King Charles, by the way, is visiting the United States of America, gonna speak about that one, and his speech was absolutely awesome, guys.King Charles rules.Later on in this video you'll understand why.And blind spots.You also need to check, yeah, because some news may split away if it is being covered just only right -wing or only left -wing media.
So I'm just looking through it to make sure that I'm updated on everything which is happening.Here's the answer how I do prepare my videos.I check Ground News, I check Publix, I check Telegram groups, I check X. But Ground News really gives the most pleasant and fullest picture from all.It is very fast.for me to find any sort of the information, which is coming, yes, from the legacy media, but with more detailed explanations.So, guys, please check out my link for the Ground News, it's ground .

So guys thank you so so much for it and Ground News is the only sponsor of my channel.I do not cooperate with anyone else well at least for now because I always choose whom to integrate into my videos very very precisely.and Ground News, well, I am proud of our corporation.So, Ground News, thank you for sponsoring this video and let's continue.This image is interesting because it is filmed from some of the Russian apartment in Tuapse city and that is what Russians see through their windows.But if they switch on their TV, they would tell, they would be told that everything is okay, everything is normal, Everything is stable in Russia, and SMO goes according to plan.
So the reality in the window contradicts with the bullshit they consume via TV channels.But still, sadly, many Russians believe TV more than to their own eyes.Well, I would say that Ukraine does fantastic job here, burning those volcanoes in Russia.First of all, it cuts direct military funding of the Russian army.Secondary, after all, Russians are not okay with that.They start to question, like, okay, something is happening, we have this fire, and those are Ukrainians.
and we are in Ukraine, so maybe...We should finish this war, we should stop, we should negotiate.But again, those volcano eruptions are not happening in the big Russian cities as Moscow, where the most population is located.And Moscow, let's say, it's a little bit different.So they do not feel it.What is happening behind Moscow?
Well, they see it on TV, and maybe on some of the telegram channels, they think that it is happening somewhere else.Yes, in Russia, but it doesn't touch them.So they're more or less okay.And they continue their miserable lives, miserable because there are sanctions and economy situation in Russia continue to decline, but they do not protest.However, we are coming closer to that moment, step after step, and Ukraine is pushing Russians for that kind of scenario.Alright, now we have the confirmation of what particular was hit, this central part from what I see, and also those small oil tanks and big oil tanks.
So, mainly everything is gone.And those shadow tanks were damaged before in the previous two Ukrainian strikes.So fantastic operation, maybe just one little part survived, but here the distance between the oil tanks is very small, they have pipelines, so this part is completely gone.That's why we saw really huge volcano eruption with a high flame.This is no go.I believe when the fire is over we're gonna see nothing is left here in this central part and that's the end of Tuapse.
And this is wow shit this is crazy guys this is the biggest one this is definitely the biggest it's even hard to comprehend that it's not the nature of phenomena but this is the human -made infrastructure full of oil which is burning in that freaking way in thatway.Jeez.This is the image from the airplane that was flying to Sochi or from Sochi.And you see a huge cloud is climbing up and it's just the beginning, was the beginning by the time later on fire intensified.And now the cloud seems like broke into the stratosphere.

Get started freeThis image was taken 105 kilometers away from Tuapse.This is observed at a ski resort and you may see in the background a huge, tremendously gigantic cloud.Yeah, Putin is scared.He mentioned Tuapse today, during the meeting with some of the ministers, and he said that there is not a problem, yeah, Ukraine tries to create this problem, hitting civilian infrastructure.Yeah, of course, he is not mentioning that it's been used to fuel Russian war machine.No, he says that Ukraine applies terror, their army is not effective, they are losing the ground every day, they are useless, and that's why they strike our rear.
That's what he said in this conference.Yeah, really listen to his silly speech where he also said that the situation is under control.Yeah, potentially it might create risk to ecology even.But Gardner reported to Putin that everything is alright.So, everything is alright.Russians, everything is alright.
Do not trust your window and your eyes.Do not look there at all.Just watch TV, where Putin will openly tell you that everything is alright.under control.
And special military operation goes according to plan.
Interesting, Igor Stryukov -Girkin, who is in the Russian prison already for a long time, but he has the access to some of the posts and he sends letters to his wife, and wife continued to post his thoughts on Telegram channel usingVPN of course, and he says, Strelkov -Gerkin, that unfortunately we are heading for military defeat.Let's not exactly accept it, but let's at least acknowledge that this unpleasant fact and proceed it from the assumption that the threat is real and that Ukraine will continue to be supplied with everything it needs while we continue to do nothing truly serious to prevent this threat.He wrote on his channel commenting 90 billion loan provided for Ukrainian military support.It's 100 % correct.Russia is on a way to be defeated because it's the war of attrition, the war of resources.
You see how Ukraine demolishes Russian resources.Oil storages, military bases, even Russian strategic aviation.Now Ukraine switched to the middle strikes.Ukraine mastered drone production and the usage of the drones.Now ground unmanned vehicles are being mass -produced in Ukraine, lowering the casualty rates.And what we see in Russia?
Everything is mostly the same.Yeah, they must produce Shahid drones, but Ukraine nailed them with the drone interceptors.Ukraine is really outstanding in air defense.Yes, Russians may launch their ballistics missiles, and Russia may damage Ukrainian economy, infrastructure as well, but Ukraine has neighbors.NATO countries, European countries, and no matter how powerful Russian strikes are, Ukraine may always rely on at least some level of support.90 billion euros for a couple of years, I would say it's kind of small number relative to what Ukraine.
Ukraine needs more especially than Europe purchases lots of the Russian fossil fuels, steel, and it's very bad.But Ukraine has the backup.Russia doesn't have it.Well, maybe just China, but China has its own sphere of influence and they do not support lethal weapons to Russia.Well, at least directly.Maybe they do it via North Korea.
And by the way, Russian delegation with the Russian Defense Minister Belousov, they visited North Korea.And I guess they're still there by the time Ukraine strikes Russian oil facilities.So maybe Russia may obtain more artillery shells from North Korea.But artillery now in 2026 plays a lower role compared to two years ago.For example, Ukraine is producing very precise artillery systems Bogdana, so they require less of the artillery shells to nail the target.And also the main weapon is the drone delivery.
The artillery is also needed, but not as much as before.Drones, drones and only drones.And Ukraine is doing everything.Accordingly, correctly, yeah, there's some of the flaws in Ukrainian army and Ukrainian army still in lack of the reforms, but it's way, way, way better.Tsar heads higher than the Russian army.Russian army is dumb, it's corrupt, it's stupid.
It's just massive.If Ukraine had those resources, guys, oh my god, Ukraine would rule the world with such a military.And I would say that Ukrainian ground forces are the most capable.on a planet nowadays, they actually have the battle experience of the frontal war of the 21st century.No other army, including the United States of America, no one has this experience, just Ukrainians and Russians, but Russians have different tactics, mid -waves and… Infiltration tactics, motorcycle attacks, Ukraine after all is way more capable, way more.Yeah, the biggest army is the United States of America, it's understandable.
And if they unleash their mighty power tomight crush someone.But the question is whether American society could allow those losses for, let's say, international confrontations.Would it be okay for Americans to lose several thousand soldiers for a stupid war in Iran?No.That's why Donald Trump is not attacking Iran.
with the ground forces, well, at least right now.But Putin doesn't have this problem, because the value of the life of the Russian soldier is nothing.Putin is blessed by Russian society, who don't care.They don't freaking care.Guys, even in Soviet Union it wasn't like that.During the Afghan war there were protests in Soviet Union.
There was the soldier mothers committee, they were going like on top on top to the secretary, And it was the problem for the Russian, sorry, Soviet government.But now everything is calm, okay, mobilization, let it be like it was in 2022.Now casualty is disabled, like, and the scale is crazy.It's incomparable to Afghan war.Russians every two weeks have the same losses to what it was for entire Soviet Union in Afghanistan.Crazy, unhinged, and nothing is happening so far.
Ah, Nabiulina.She is, by the way, professional.She is the head of the Russian Central Bank and she says that the crisis in Russia deteriorates.The main factor, one of those, is the situation on the labor market.Simply not enough workers.No one wants to work or what?
Or you are in lack of the workers for some of the reason.Maybe you meat -grinded them somewhere.Yeah, Nabiullina knows she is a smart woman, but she works for dictators.She wanted to resign after the start of the special military operation, but Putin said no,and she is forced to work for Putin, otherwise she'll go underground, two feet at least.And here she said openly from the stage that it has never been like that in entire Russian history, not even in 90s, never.
And it creates significant risks.for the Russian economy.They're in a deep problem and the Nabiullina says that we have no one to work in Russia, we need workers.Yeah, they try to get some workers from the countries like India, Bangladesh, but it's not enough.And the workforce from the ex -Soviet republics is also not helping that much.Especially they need workforce in IT sector, they need competent specialists in all of the spheres.
But those left Russia after Putin announced a massive mobilization, so at least 300 ,000 people mobilized, and at least 700 ,000 left Russia.1 million, plus Russia continued to recruit more and more soldiers, so close to 2 million Russians have already gone.Some of them are KIA, some not, but all of them are unable to work.Those who are wounded, they require some of the social care, benefits, money.Relatives of the fallen Russian soldiers also want millions, millions of rubles to be paid for them.That was the main reason for their loved ones to sign the contract with the Russian army, for remaining relatives to maybe live more or less ok life.

Get started freeAnd just imagine this load on the Russian budget, so no workforce, they are forced to deplete their reserves, and it cannot continue for a long time.So either they will put the economy totally, completely on the war rails, announcing a new mass of mobilization, they wouldn't care about those payments any longer.Or they should stop the war in Ukraine.I think it's the first variant where Putin goes completely unhinged.Well, guys, as you probably know, there is the meeting ongoing between Donald Trump and King Charles of United Kingdom, where Donald Trump told to Charles that Putin wants war to continue, he wants to escalate, he wants to do something really terrible.Donald Trump tells that he's concerned, and if Putin is really serious like that, he could end everything, all of the lives, he said.
Well, still with 100 % probability, it's hard to say, because it was a lip -reading.And the lip -reading, well, it could not be very detailed.Nevertheless, some of the media outlets came out with those news, so Putin wants war.Trump says.If he does what he said he will destroy the entire population.So I wish it was a hot mic and Charles according to this lip reading he said multiple times to Donald Trump not now let's speak about it later later later but don't Trump just continue to speak about Putin out loud out there but sadly we didn't have the hot mic to check it out just lip reading and Again, it could not be 100 % truthful, but he was speaking about Putin.
It was confirmed by those lip readers, but the details it's very, very hard to specify.So, it tells that Putin is willing to escalate or at least to continue the war as it goes.He'll try to find the money for it to continue.And he'll cut absolutely everything, social benefits, social care, health care, everything, education, just to make the war continue.I believe in that, guys.Judging on his rhetorics, war, only war, we gonna reach the goals of the special military operation, And even Donald Trump already understands that.
That probably those 12 trillion dollars after all were nothing burger, yeah?Just they're playing with Americans with their stupid delegation.Kushner and Vitkov.But Trump, unfortunately, is still more in favor of dictator Putin than, for example, President of Ukraine Zelensky.And we see the internal confrontation there.Because the ambassador of the United States of America in Ukraine, Judy Davis, resigned from her position.
Financial Times say that there were some of the confrontations.Yeah, frustration over his lack of support of Kiev.So, she was more in support.She's in Kiev.or was, I don't know, maybe she is still there today at least.And she knew, she saw what is happening, like what the hell, Russia is attacking Ukraine, Russia is causing so many devastations, but at the same time Donald Trump is playing in favor of Putin, pushing Ukraine for capitulation.
So I guess she definitely disagreed with that and that led to her resignation.And that's the nice comment here from Global Defense, when diplomats keep resigning, it shows serious cracks in policy and leadership.Yep.Ok, another big article about the Baltic states and the probability of Russia for this major attack against NATO countries.Well, this post definitely got the coverage, that definitely Russians may use the remainings of their reserves, 70 ,000 soldiers, which are located in Leningrad region, so not that far away from St. Petersburg.this sort of the attack.
And if Russia, for example, loses against NATO forces, well, Russia may always retreat to the Russian territory, proclaim some limited victory, like similar to what Donald Trump now says, we dismantle their navy, we dismantle their air force, it was the main goal.Yeah, and NATO will not attack Russia, even Kaliningrad, because it's the Russian sovereign territory and they are afraid of escalation and the usage of the nuclear weapons.That's the point of author, and Russia may also try to provoke NATO, and even taking few of the villages near the Russian border or Belarus border, will cause internal disturbances within NATO alliance.So Putin may check the NATO integrity like that, whether there could be response or not.I am sure that Donald Trump will not help in this case, he is anti -NATO all way long, he is blaming NATO even now, when he started the aggression war against Iran and now he requires some of the help from NATO, when he completely screw up with his mission.he will not help.
Maybe some of the javelin something like that but not deploying American army it's understandable already like for me it's very very clear The question goes for European allies when they're gonna respond commonly, including Spain, Portugal, all of the NATO members, they should respond.But we know those politicians, they always don't want to escalate, they're always silly, especially in those European countries.And Putin knows that, but still it's like the uncertainty, yeah?So for Putin it's, okay, I'm gonna go there, they're not gonna respond.Probably, but no one tried actually to attack NATO countries.Never ever.
So opening this Pandora box is, I would say, risky.Yeah, Putin has the great chance actually here for success, because overall those Baltic countries, they don't have large population, they don't have large armies.And the groups of, for example, German army or someone else in those countries, it's also tiny, comparable to 70 ,000 Russian troops.And I don't think that Russia would start some of the massive attack.No, it will be some sort of the special operation.Suvalki corridor, something else, part of Estonia, Narva region.
tiny little with few thousand forces and just to check out the reaction and if NATO is disorganized okay Let's send more forces, more troops and occupy territories.I think Putin is playing this scenario.I think that it is possible even this year.And we know it not just from my Baba Vanega speeches, but also from the military intelligence services of those Baltic countries themselves, of Germans.And we see also that Europe is getting ready for something.Even the military conscription is getting compulsory in some of the European countries.
legislation has been changed, the laws about draft to the army, military production has been increased, and Europe is concerned.Because this wounded bleeding animal as the Russian Federation is still freaking dangerous, it may jump, it may bite, and there should be a common, proper reaction of alliance to potential threats.And one more hint that it could happen is the Protect Russians Abroad, a new law that was introduced by the Russian State Duma just couple of weeks ago.For what reason it was done that fast and why Russia is blocking Internet?All of the access for the information.Well, not yet VPNs, but they try to provide only whitelist websites and I believe it's gonna help.
Well, Putin himself, he stated two days ago that it's gonna be more and more limited for Russians because we have to fight against some of the external threats, he said.So there was the hope within the Russian society, even some of the Russian military bloggers, they were saying, okay, it's not Putin, It's Roskomnadzor, they're crazy, they're blocking telegram, they're blocking everything.We need those sources for communication, for even military actions.So Putin probably doesn't know.But no, Putin came out two days ago and said it openly.We will block you.
We will block everything.Because it is a freaking threat to the national security.Internet.Russians.You don't need internet.The reaction after that statement was really hilarious.
Russians were shocked.Oh, it's Putin after all, he is to blame, yeah, not boyars or no lower rank officials.Putin said it openly that it's him, him who is doing it.Oh, King Charles is in Congress and he is a man, he is, well, what he said is amazing.King Charles, thank you so so much and let's listen it together, my friends, because in a Congress with Republicans, with Speaker Mike Johnson, yeah, saying that about Ukraine is It's fantastic.Not only King Charles called in his speech to help Ukraine to defend, but he also said that NATO helped the United States of America and by doing it, he just put the nose of Donnie into his diaper.
Yes, it's like that.Let's listen.
We answered the call together, as our people have done so for more than a century, shoulder to shoulder.through two world wars, the Cold War, Afghanistan, and moments that have defined our shared security.Today, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people.
Mike Kelly there, and Mike Johnson stood.J .D.Vance.Charles, thank you so much, you're the man.Before I didn't like this guy, honestly.
Prince Charles, then he was Prince.Maybe something changed, then he became a King.Well, he's really pro -Ukrainian.I really like UK, I really like their people.Guys, he's amazing, saying that in Congress.To say that, oh, we only give.
