I feel like I'm always cleaning something.

I've tried a ton of products over the years, but Bullshot Carbet has honestly become one

of those things I keep reaching for because it actually works fast. I've used it on rugs and upholstery, even after coffee spills and muddy shoes. I love that it dries quickly and doesn't leave a sticky residue behind. It makes cleaning just feel like less of a project. And Bullshot isn't just for carpets.

There's a whole line of professional strength foam incliners for the messes life throws at you. Bullshot pet for pet stains and odors, Bullshot degrees are for kitchen grease, and Bullshot barbecue for girls and grates. No matter the mess, Bullshot handles it, just shake, point, and spray.

Now for a limited time, get up to 20% of Bullshot and free shipping when you text Bull to 64,000. That's Bull to 64,000 for up to 20% off and free shipping. That's B-U-L-L to 64,000. Message and data rates may apply.

Bull-Hell is breaking loose as Ukraine continues to bombard Russia with these drone swarms that Russia's air defense really cannot handle Russia as being overwhelmed by these Ukrainian drone swarms. And now Ukraine is also escalating its use of these flamingo cruise missiles, which have a real significant range and they're causing massive damage.

So you've got the drone swarms and then separate swarms serving as decoys. Then these flamingo ballistic missiles, one after the other, they're precise, they're hitting their targets in Russia right now. And you've got a very serious situation there in Russia, taken place, Zelensky announced that he's launching a 40-day special operation to end the war, utilizing these drones

swarms and these flamingos.

I want to share with you the military tactics going on here, what's taking place?

And I want to show you visuals that you're probably not seeing many other places. Let's just take a look at this map right here.

So yesterday here's what we saw this Ukrainian drone swarm raid into Western Russia and

Crimea. And that's been a constant, remember earlier this week, I've been showing the areas in Crimea, the air defense systems nearby, oil depots, just totally destroyed. I also showed you a few days before that air defense systems, infrastructure in Moscow. Ukraine picking these off one by one, what they're doing is they're also forcing Putin

to put the air defense systems inside Moscow and moving it away from the front in other areas. And once Ukraine sees the air defense systems move, boom, they start attacking those areas as well. Two days ago, we saw these large-scale drone swarms that were attacking as well in the east.

You see the graph right here of where these attacks were taking place. And here was that attack yesterday with these Ukrainian FP5 flamingo ground launch cruise missiles. A fly at low altitudes, it almost looks like a flamingo, like a bird, low altitudes over the Volga grad, oblast and southwestern Russia. I'll show you this right here as the cruise missile slams into Russia's Titan Barakatti

Factory in the morning.

At least two, maybe three flamingos hit this Russian plant, this plant is responsible

for producing the launchers for the key Russian systems like the Iskundar ballistic missiles,

which have also been doing massive damage inside Ukraine, but take a look at this footage right here. This is some rare war footage though that were shown here as well. Here's the Ukraine in FP5 flamingo ground launch cruise missile flying at this low altitude and striking that infrastructure at that Titan Barakatti factory that does those launchers

for the Iskundar ballistic missiles watch this video right here, let's play it. I'm not going to play it. I'm not going to play it.

I'm not going to play it here, I'm not going to play it here, I'm not going to play it here.

Sure you'd be right here another angle of this morning's Ukrainian cruise missile attack against that Moscow Institute of Thermo technology, Titan Barakatti facility.

Here's what it looks like from Ukraine.

This footage shows the launch of several FP5 flamingo ground launch cruise missiles against those targets that I just showed you in the Volga grad Oblast in southwestern Russia. Take a look and you'll just see what this modern warfare marvels look like right here. Here's what I'm going to play this clip. Share with you some B-roll over here of the Ukrainian attack drone successfully hitting a major

Russian fuel distribution depot in the Krasnador cry area in the morning setting in a blaze.

This site was also following our coverage, we showed you the footage of it hit just about

a week ago with Ukrainian forces appearing to be intent to just fully knock it out.

Before that, you had the Ukrainian attack drone successfully hitting a major power substation outside of the Saft's DePaul area causing power cuts in the Crimean capital. So no wonder you're seeing locals reporting a 20 mile long traffic jam of vehicles attempting to leave the Russian occupied Crimea over the Kerch bridge today. This follows major fuel, power and good shortages caused by Ukraine's drone campaign.

But Russia's striking hard inside Ukraine in Karkev region. One person was killed three others injured as a Russian drone strike hit an apartment building in Izium right there destroyed the structural components of the building and ignited the fire. We'll show you some B-roll here footage of destroyed Russian transports littering the side of the E-58 highway in southern Ukraine.

Ukrainian mid-range strike drones continue to trough through those Russian rear area supply lines and what's fascinating is this person we're learning more about by the name of Alexander Luna and have you heard of him? Well, Luna in record of this message is 39 year old guy former reconnaissance unit commander in the Sudoplatov battalion in this video.

Luna demands a live meeting with Putin and alleges that Russian soldiers are tortured abused and punished for refusing what he describes as stupid orders for failing to hand over money. Jane Keev captured it. Jane Keev has got a YouTube channel as soon as a lot of works.

Say what's up to Jane Keev for me. And as Jane Keev says what started as a former Russian army commander, Alexander Luna, threatening Putin over brutality theft and murder in the Russian military, it's quickly becoming the seeds of something bigger as you see this battalion over here recording a video with this message for Putin.

Let's play this clip.

We are meeting people.

We have been in the middle of the night, but the number of people in the world is increasing.

The number of people in the world is increasing.

So if he doesn't give an audience, he will tell us everything that we are now going to the country. The last moments of the year, the last thousands of our soldiers are sitting in the middle of the day.

On the occasion of their own commander, the soldiers will be killed by the gun and the forces of the country.

So we call them the Gestapo.

The fact that they refused to perform stupid orders, the most murderous orders, the fact that they refused,

will give their financial service to the country.

And of course, the same thing, they do business, work, Vladimir Vladimirovich, to pay attention.

Please come to me to the next, the last will be very serious. If you are a real time, I will not come to the end and I will not stop in the front of the fire, but I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire, and I will not stop in the front of the fire.

You also got these ballistic missiles, of course, being fired into Ukraine and Kiev by Russia, take a look right here, the Ukrainian Air Defense Intercept, you will see it right here, the Ukrainian Air Force, released this footage moments ago, showing its air defense system in action, engaging incoming missiles over Kiev, take a look at these interceptors being launched to counter the aerial threat right here, and this is what we are seeing on a daily basis, take place over Kiev, let's play it.

And as I noted, folks, Russians are very, very, very upset about what's happening from what I'm hearing, as well, they're spending the entire time in Kiev, and they're in Kiev, and they're in Kiev, and they're in Kiev.

And as I noted, folks, Russians are very, very, very upset about what's happening from what I'm hearing as well, they're spending the entire day waiting in lines for gasoline, you have Russian media influencers like this Russian woman, very, very upset that the fuel, it's just the way it all day for the fuel, and that, you know, they weren't expecting that this to be happening in Russia. And again, I'm just trying to show you what's happening on the ground there, let's play this clip. And as I noted at the beginning, Ukrainian president Zelensky approved a 40 day operation to influence Russia into ending the war after receiving a briefing from the head of his security service on strikes against Russian targets.

Here's what he had to say, report from major general, general, evening comma on our long-range sanctions plan mid-range sanctions, and the results of the security service of Ukraine specifically, the center of special operations alpha on the front, when Zelensky refers to long-range and medium-range sanctions, he's referring to Ukraine sending the drones and ballistics into Russia. They approved a 40 day influence operations, Zelensky writes, for these service against the aggressor state aimed at compelling it to end the war.

Importantly, for several months in a row, these special operations forces have demonstrated the highest performance in defending Ukraine's positions on the front lines through the use of various types of drones. Special operations alpha leads the terms of the occupiers personnel and equipment neutralize, we also separately discuss challenges to Ukraine's internal security. I am grateful for the protection of our state and for Ukrainians, Zelensky also described the following that was taking place. Russian leadership is now pulling more air defense assets to Moscow, Valdaay, and Putin's bridge across the church straight at the expense of air defense elsewhere.

In the Moscow region alone, they have a mast hundreds of launchers, rest 400s 500 and pansear systems, nearly 90 launchers have been redeployed to Valday from other regions of Russia, and a special air defense division is also being formed there to safeguard the peace.

Quiet of the Russian chief, to compare, there are only a couple of launchers ...

They are protecting their power, their source of this war, more than 60 Russian regions are already experiencing fuel shortages.

There has also been a sharp increase in gas and diesel prices if they are available at all.

Russian security services have proposed postponing or cancelling altogether, the ritual of electing United Russia to the state Duma.

Their latest imitation of election was scheduled for September, and intelligence reports now show that Russia itself is not confident about what will be happening in September and finally Zelensky rights. Today, no one on earth can say that we are not fighting for Crimea or that we have forgotten about Crimea, every day proves that Ukraine remembers every part of its land, every one of its people, and it's truly fighting to ensure justice for our entire system. And he talks about depriving Russia of its launch pad and drawing a line under its attempts to normalize war, he goes on and says right there.

That's what's happening again. I'm not sure you're seeing this video anywhere else.

Hat tip to my bud, Jay, in Kiev, friend of mine, who's doing great work out there and getting a lot of this footage.
