A stunning drone strike deep inside Russian territory—2,500 miles from the front—has reshaped the geopolitical chessboard. On June 1, 2025, Ukraine launched its boldest and most far-reaching attack yet, destroying over 40 Russian aircraft and dealing a blow worth billions. But with peace talks simultaneously unfolding in Istanbul and U.S. senators visiting Kyiv just hours prior, the question arises: was this escalation part of a larger plan? This episode explores the timing, motives, and potential fallout of what some are calling Russia’s Pearl Harbor—and what it means for the future of the war.
