My name is Alexander and I have given myself a lot of things to do on the way.

And it's been a very long time for us to go to the UNUKS. Who has been working with me for a long time.

And my friend was the one who said, "Look, there are some portal. Go found me."

And then I was shocked and that was the point. So what I could do is, of course, I had the first time in the country.

And there were many hotels, hotels, hotels, hotels, and there were the last weeks in the... Yes, for example, where we can have the chance to find the children to buy. Start a deinen Spenden auf Rufne heute. In nur wenigen Minuten, auf GoFantMe.com, GoFantMe.com, for deinen Spenden auf Ruf.

There they go. All hell is breaking loose once again as Ukraine, President Salinski unleashed a massive drone swarm.

Against Russian ships, against Russian infrastructure. Let me show you just what went down. In fact, this was the biggest strike yet against Russian ships.

28 Russian ships were targeted and successfully hit by Ukraine with a combination of their FP1 and FP2 drones.

Get this in the past six days. There have been 76 ships belonging to Russia that had been successfully targeted by Ukraine.

You can take a look right here at the video that was just recently released by Zelensky, by the Ukraine defense forces.

Take a look right here. You can see as they count off each of these ships that was hit in the sea of Azob, which effectively has been shut down. Almost a straight of her mood situation, if you will, in the sea of Azob at this stage, where a lot of Russian wheat and grain and other produce is shipped there. And Ukraine has again successfully targeted ship after ship. You can see in the video footage right there. I'll show you right now some FP2 drone footage right here. I'll show you Ukrainian FP2 striking a Russian base on the Donetsk region as well. You can see that right here.

Let me share with you this view from the shore of one of the targeted Russian ships right here. Here's one of the tankers hit by Ukrainian drones and the sea of Azob. Take a look over here. Let me just show you what these drones look like as they are coming from the sky and they are smashing into Russian infrastructure, smashing into the Russian ships, smashing into refineries. I do want to note as well. Ukraine has also been using these unmanned vessels in the water as well. And then a little bit I'm going to show you in this video. Some of the Russian strikes as well because as I note all hell is breaking loose.

But let me show you the moment of the FP1 FP2 drone strikes on this Russian seaport right here. Let's play it. And now I will share with you what you're seeing right now as locals from the coast of the sea of Azob right here are seeing these Ukrainian drones strike the Russian tankers. What a image right here. Can you imagine people walking right there on the coast and this is what they're seeing. This is becoming kind of normal in Russia right now here play this clip. I'll show you this as well. Fires at the Russian port of Taggenrogg right here share with you some b-roll of this Russian port looks like some of the infrastructure there course being successfully targeted by Ukraine.

You go over there from the port of Taggenrogg to the Ilsky refinery in Russia's Krasnidore region over here.

I just want you to think about this because we've been showing you how Ukrain...

This plant over here I'm about to show you play the b-roll processes around 6.6 million tons of oil per year. It's export oriented and sits near some key black sea routes had to be special cares on cat for aggregating and pointing this out.

Let me share with you what it looks like as a Russian mobile air defense group service men with the machine gun runs away the moment a ram to strike drone approaches share the b-roll right here.

I want to see this drone as well striking a Russian armoured vehicle all the way on the airbought spot over here it's about 122 kilometers from the front line over here you'll see Ukraine hitting the Azav optical mechanical plant in the rostav region. This is a Russian defense industry site this plant produces electronics optics thermal imaging systems and seeker components used in Russian precision weapons missiles and titanium systems military vehicles. Take a look right here at the Upsenka checkpoint on the border of the rostav region this checkpoint has now been closed for at least a day to show you this footage right here from the port of Azav right here you can see for yourself we don't need to do b-roll we can actually just play this clip right here.

Let's face it after night with drinks I don't bounce back the next day like I used to I have to make a choice I can either have a great night or a great next day.

That is until I found pre-alcohol zibiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic it was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking.

Here's how it works when you drink alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut it's a buildup of this byproduct not dehydration that's to blame for rough days after drinking.

The alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night drink responsibly and you'll fill your best tomorrow.

Every time I have pre-alcohol before drinks I notice the difference the next day even after night out I can completely plan on having a great next day without worrying look I won't lie I was a bit on the fence about pre-alcohol initially but after giving it a chance believe me it's the real deal. July is packed with barbecues fireworks lake weekends and late nights with friends keep the good times rolling into the next day during pre-alcohol before you go out and wake up ready for whatever Sunday brings.

Now separately Russia has been attacking key with ballistic missiles should be noted that coming out of NATO Donald Trump did at least say we'll see what actually takes place but he said that he would give the license to Ukraine to produce interceptors.

Donald Trump has got the United States in this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran with Netanyahu which as you know is escalating the US has run low on its only munitions also I think Trump has maliciously held patriot interceptors from Zalinsky.

Zelensky can shoot down the Shaheeds given by Iran to Russia they could shoot down some of the cruise missiles but the ballistics you need the patriot interceptors and Trump has not delivered it to Ukraine is not delivered it to Europe to deliver to Ukraine.

Ukraine just give us the license like let us make it ourselves where we just give us the technology we'll we'll do it if the US can't do it, but you know well we'll wait to see if that gets delivered.

Russia attack keys to key and civilian areas strikes and fires occurred in several districts of the city and the Soviet months district to Probsky district and others I'll run you through some of the b-roll right here so you can see what's happening in key. Shon as you have drones and missiles from Russia striking there as well photos from Zapresha air strikes lots of people injured in Ukraine in Zapresha you can see the side over there Russia also hit the port infrastructure in Odessa two truck drivers were killed two more injured.

Russia is striking there as well Russia has also begun targeting gas stations...

Donald Trump is more willing to provide some of these interceptors or the technology to Ukraine and and Trump perceives it now that he ve before Trump said I thought Putin was going to win so I'm a Putin guy but he's a Putin Putin but look at for other reasons and now he goes well I think Zelensky may be in the lead so now I'm going to go there.

And the thing is that's why you just got to lead with your morals and values and principles and be a real leader you know and you know now here we are after Trump says on day one I would get this resolve.

Now he's finally coming around to the view of that wait a minute Ukraine's counter offensive looks successful now Zelensky posted the following video he writes Russia's gasoline crisis is deepening quite justly in response to Putin's reluctance to end this war.

We have put forward proposals on how to bring peace closer and we have support not only among our partners around the world but also with Putin's own circle.

They understand what is happening and that peace has no alternative this sentiment and Russia will continue to grow. Today I signed a decree establishing a special command within the armed forces of Ukraine a command for long range effectively global impact on Russia over this war and you know we've been reporting here how Ukraine's been using these FP5s right there's the flamingos and other drones that that had been able to reach.

And you know significant distances as well some of the drones the FP5s are other of the ballistics the FP1 FP2 long range they've been able to reach.

Five hundred three thousand kilometers and and hit major refineries as well. He says I signed this decree this command months concentrate a hundred percent of available resources on degrading rushes war fighting potential even more. The commander in charge of this direction will be strong and certainly highly experienced and then Zelensky also writes I'm preparing changes across our diplomatic efforts. We need a new quality of engagement with Ukraine's partners to ensure the implementation of our agreements and weapons supplies this agreement reached at the leaders level must be implemented much faster and in full.

The US and our agreement on licenses for the production of patriots Europe and our work to develop Europe's own anti ballistic capabilities as well as other projects specifically on defensive cooperation also the support packages for Ukraine that have been announced but as of today. We have not yet been delivered and full in other words Zelensky saying we need to change this up because we get promised all these things there's a successful NATO summit good announcements happen right announced your Trump likes to do announcements.

But then the delivery doesn't happen so we're going to make sure that we get the things that we're being told we're getting with new diplomatic engagement as I noted.

Russia has been striking key 11 people including a child injured and key last night after some Russian attacks over there also Russia struck Odessa sumi car key and the chair need regions. Russia launched over 120 drones and 12 missiles half of them ballistics the ballistics can't be really shot down until Ukraine gets the interceptors that it needs. I want to share with you what Sweden's Prime Minister Christerson had to say that's here what he says. Well the irony is that while Russia is certainly not winning the war against the crane right now that's quite obvious Ukraine is having spectacular successes Russia is not at all managing this war as they anticipated in the beginning.

And obviously the irony is of course that what does the Russia do that is unwilling to negotiate but not able to win and I think we're all prepared for a lot of different options.

Now I'll show you what president's tube of Finland has to say play this clip.

Yeah I think there are two elements to it. The first one is that he's doing quite well in terms of long distance strikes both drones and missiles we're seeing.

Russian oil refineries being hit 40% of their refining capacity going down but the other part of it is the way in which Ukraine defends itself. And there he's absolutely right he needs more air defense he needs more patriots because we're seeing over a hundred civilian buildings being hit just the other night with civilians dying.

This is something that we Europeans and America need to work on.

On the other hand you have Russia's PR person Putin's kind of press secretary Peskov.

Here's what he just says about nuclear weapons on the weltwalk show and he says that we will.

If anything threatens the existence of Russian nuclear weapons will be used here's what he says over there.

Our nuclear doctrine. So it stipulates the conditions for the usage of nuclear weapons. It's very bold it's very understandable and it's very simple. If something in dangerous the idea of existence of Russian state then nuclear weapons will be used.

Otherwise no otherwise no. It's very important to understand it.

So the rest of the statements are speculations. And then he says Russia is too big to start a third world war he says. When it was started against us we we what we fought to the end which obviously is another threat right here here play this clip. Russia is too big and too responsible country to be an initiator of a third world war. United States knows the possible consequences of that war as well.

Plus we have relatively good dialogue. We're not good in our bilateral relations because they're stuck there on a on a on a zero level bilateral relations. But despite that we are clever enough to talk to each other.

So we're too big and too powerful in terms of mutual deterrence to be at war.

But the reserve. And there are lots of crazy things in the heads of European politicians for example. Russia should be defeated strategically. We have to spend more and more money for our defense. And trying to spend more and more money for our defense they are trying to get closer with the military infrastructure to our borders. Will any country tolerate that? No.

The country will take measures of precaution. We're going to do the same. We're going to ensure our security. But we will never we will never start a federal war.

We never started we never started remember the history.

But when it was started against us we responded to the end. There you have a folks let me know what you think hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. It's wanted to bring you that footage.
