hell is breaking loose right now in Moscow as Ukraine's President Zelensky just unleashed another massive drone swarm hitting targets in that Moscow region. Look, as the fire continues to spread in the Moscow oblastro right there. The main target was the Wild Berries logistical facility right there. Wild Berries is like Russia's Amazon if you will. It's believed, however, that the logistical facility there, and that's the biggest one in Russia right there, is used also for military purposes. And Zelinsky has said since Russia targeted logistical facilities in Ukraine, Ukraine targeting this Wild Berry logistical facility right there, this massive warehouse, multiple football fields long and wide and you can see what it looks like. I want to bring you the images there and then I want to talk about some of the other strikes that are taking place because Ukraine's unmanned system forces hit 12 more of Russia's shadow fleet vessels in the Black Sea in the past 24 hours. Also the 295 strategic bomber at Engels military base in the Saratov region in Russia was also hit by Ukraine right now. And then also I want to talk about the fact that Russia is striking in Kiev. Russia continues to strike in Zaporizhzhia. Russia continues to strike throughout Ukraine as well. Hell is breaking loose in the region over there of course, the United States has escalated its war against Iran and the US Committing all of these war crimes there you have Iran responding as well. US Striking desalinization facilities in Iran. Iran striking desalinization facilities in Arab nations. So you have the entire world engulfed in a war right now. I think a lot of it stems from Donald Trump's weakness. He promised in 24 hours that he was going to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He's failed to do that. He said that he would be able to do all of these deals, but all he's done is create more wars around the world. Take a look right here as the fire continued to spread in the Moscow oblast right here. And you'll see, you know this is at that Wild Berries facility. Let's play this clip. Pan back a little bit and you can see the Ukrainian drones attacking the oil depots in the Moscow oblast as well. Some oil depots being hit. The Wild Berries facility being hit. The let's show you what went down there. Show you over here. A variety of Ukrainian drone models involved. Hat tip to my friend Jay and Keev. Incredible job aggregating a lot of this stuff. Take a listen first. I'll show you a which is the drone itself. You can see these Ukrainian drones. They've got the FP1, the FP2, the FP5s are the flamingo ballistics, but the FP1, FP2s are their kind of long range drones. They can hit 3,000 kilometers, by the way. 3,000 kilometers. Here, let's play A. Now I'll just show you B right here so you can see what it looks like with that Wild Berries facility completely engulfed here. Watch for yourself. Now, as I noted before, you have the drone swarms of the Ukrainian Special forces unmanned systems forces striking Russia's Shadow Fleet in the Black Sea. You know that they've been striking hard as well in the Sea of Azov and now the Black Sea. They've really ramped up their efforts. I do want to just make this I'll show the B roll though right now of what the what it looks like in the Black Sea as you have at least 12 more Russian shadow Fleet vessels that are being hit. I do want to make this point though, at a time where the US Strategic reserves have hit tank bottom, at a time where the Strait of Hormuz is shut down. It appears the Bab El Mandab Strait is going to be shut down soon by the Houthis working with Iran as the Trump regime is threatening the ground invasion I talked about earlier. Now we're seeing, you know, the escalation between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine striking back hard, but that also means less oil supply, just, you know, logistically as well. And so we're in a situation in unchartered, unchartered territory. And again, this is what happened when you have a madman, a psychotic loser like Donald Trump in charge. So you saw the B roll right there, what, what everything looks like in. Now you take a look at what some of these military bloggers in Russia are talking about. And they are confirming that the 295 strategic bomber destroyed by Ukraine. I have no good news for you about the 295. Of course you can argue what they were texting each other, that people are alive. And that's the main thing. That is indeed the main thing. It's just we no longer build such an aircraft. We haven't built them for a long time. The 295 TU95 is the one of the bombers that is vaunted, exalted in Russia. The SBU long range drones destroyed a Russian 295 strategic bomber. The drones flew roughly 800 kilometers to the target. According to preliminary data, the aircraft suffered critical damage with its tail section completely torn up. Let me share this clip with you as well though. This right here is of a almost vertical manpower pad launch on the Russian jet powered Shahid. So what you're going to see here is a Ukrainian defender, the Russian Iranian Shahid going to try to find its target in Ukraine. And you'll see the kind of almost vertical manpad shooting the Shahid. You can see for yourself here. Let's play this clip.

I've talked about One Skin before and I'm genuinely glad that we get to work with them because it has become part of my daily routine. I've been using the OS1 moisturizer and what really stands out is how my skin feels. It's smoother, stays hydrated, and over time I've noticed it just looks healthier. Doesn't feel like another product that gives you a quick cosmetic effect, then disappears. It actually works differently than the other skincare I've tried. As we age, some skin cells stop functioning the way they should. Longevity scientists call them zombie cells. And that is what is actually driving those visible signs of aging, like fine lines and dullness. One Skin's OS1 peptide was specifically engineered to address those. And with summer here, that matters even more. Because up to 80% of visible skin aging starts with sun exposure. One Skin's limited edition summer bundles pair their skincare with SPF Essentials so you're helping reverse the visible effects of UV aging while protecting your skin from new. It's also backed by four peer reviewed clinical studies, more than 10,000 five star reviews and Bloomberg has recognized One Skin as a leader in skin longevity.

I want to show you more footage of the Wild Berries facility if I can for a moment because there are some additional footage I want to show you. Let me, let me show you first in the morning what it looked like. As Jane Keev says, for years Russia targeted Ukraine's postal service and logistic hub. So here's Ukraine responding. Let me show you what it looked like outside in the morning. Play this clip.

Now.

Let me show you this truly terrifying footage in the evening of the Wild Berries warehouse. It's in the Tombow region. During the explosions. You can hear the explosions. You can see the workers running as these Ukrainian drones are striking it here. Let's play this clip. Also. The Russian markets are crashing right now. All international markets are crashing right now. You know, sadly, you know, we've saw South Korean market, China market, US had an awful week. Russia stock market though, absolutely crashing. Now that these strikes are occurring inside Moscow itself. We've been talking about how Ukraine developed these massive capabilities. Again, you can see right here, the market's crashing there as well. I want to highlight this also though, because Russia striking back hard at Ukraine. Russia's striking originally at Ukraine. Zelensky's showing this footage of Odessa. Two people were killed as a result of some of the strikes in Russia. Five people strikes from Russia. Five more people were injured, including three children. Zapricia region under attack as well. Kiev under attack as well. There have been at least two people killed in Kiev from these Russian strikes. One of the things that Ukraine doesn't really have a lot of is these Patriot interceptors or THAAD interceptors to intercept the Russian ballistic missiles. We also see that like Jordan and A lot of these Arab nations in the Middle east are running low on the interceptors. The US Is the provider of these and went through most of their munitions in the first, whatever it was, 39, 40 days of the war with Iran. U.S. is very low on those munitions. Iran seized that. Jordan's low on those munitions. It keeps hitting Jordan really, really hard. I've talked about that in the video that I did earlier in the day. You could show some of the B roll of what Zelinsky posted in Zapricia and Odessa, in Kiev. As, as, as well right there. I would. I do want to highlight an important story that's going on in Ukraine. So you know as well though Mikhailo Fedorov was the former defense minister, very popular guy in Ukraine, young guy. He was the defense Minister. But before being the defense minister, he really kind of pioneered the asymmetrical drone first war tactics of Ukraine. Beloved figure in Ukraine. But he clashed with the commander in chief, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrinsky in Ukraine. So you had Fedorov versus Syrisky and there was this civil war going on and Zelenskyy had to ultimately make a decision. Do you go with the old guard Syrisky, or do you with kind of the new young guy asymmetrical warfare? Fedorov, Syrsky and the old guard won out and Zelensky fired Fedorov. And people in Ukraine, being very blunt, are livid at that decision. They don't understand. Why would you do that? Fedorov's beloved, all of the FP1, FP2, FP5, the whole unmanned special forces, like that's Fedorov. Why would you get rid of Fedorov? So there were actually mass protests going on in Ukraine, Lviv. Let me show you over here. Protesting Zelensky, protest against Zelensky. Protests calling for the firing of the old guard, commander in chief and bringing back in Fedorov. Here, play this clip.

Here.
