- welcome back defenders the hits just keep on coming ukraine's intelligence claims it
- attacked the Crimean Bridge with an underwater bomb the SBU has carried out
- another bold and unique special operation striking the Crimean Bridge for the third time since Russia's
- full-scale invasion this time from underwater ukraine has already successfully struck this bridge twice
- the first time in 2022 with a carb bomb the second time in 2023 with drone boats
- and somehow Ukraine was able to plant an explosive device on the structural
- column of the archway nobody was harmed nobody was killed so I can show this
- video i'm going to slow the speed down to 0.25 for you and we can watch this
- together my first question is how does Ukraine have this security cam video meaning
- they've already hacked the security cameras on the Crimean bridge they have the they have the feed and they released >br>
- 1:04
- it to the public but somehow Ukraine was able to plant an explosive on the structural column under the archway and
- that's the detonation what is the fallout what is the damage and it's too soon to tell this bomb went off at 4:44
- a.m in the morning local time and the blast was equivalent to 1100 kg of
- TNT now bridges are very difficult to bring down uh they're pretty sturdy but
- this is a weak point for the bridge because this is where the archway is located so the archway is where boats
- pass underneath there needs to be a big enough gap for you know oil tankers and
- um cargo vessels to go under it and the Black Sea floored is not very
- solid uh this is soft sediment that has to go pretty deep so Russia to construct >br>
- 2:00
- this bridge I am not a civil engineer but you can see from this diagram there
- are support columns going pretty deep 72 meters it
- says and we don't know russia doesn't know what the damage is perhaps the
- water absorbed most of the blast or maybe under this support column this is
- all broken straws at this point russia is going to of course claim that the
- damage is minimal and the bridge is fine but I guarantee you the bridge is not
- fine we just don't know exactly how bad it is at this point
- i also want to point out that this is interesting that Ukraine went for the archway previously they went for just
- one of the road spans uh and if a road span collapses obviously Russia was able to
- repair it when this happened in 2022 but by going for the archway if this
- archway collapses one it's not being repaired anytime soon but two this is where the >br>
- 3:05
- this is where the cargo fleets this is where the ships go under so if the bridge archway
- collapses Russia can't get their exports out from the Sea of Azoth all of the ships coming from Rostavon Dawn have to
- go under that archway this is what Ukraine was trying to do and this is pretty bold
- this was breaking as of this morning i don't have any more information for you at this time we're going to get updates
- in two days russia of course is going to say everything is fine ukraine probably is going to say it's not fine we'll know
- more uh in my next update video but we now have to follow up on
- Operation Spiderweb kremlin was brought to its knees russians react to Ukraine's
- devastating strike on 41 warplanes now Ukraine's intelligence is sticking
- to their guns saying that they successfully damaged or destroyed 40 or >br>
- 4:01
- more planes in Russia's strategic bomber fleet russia only has about 120 of these
- bombers so that's 34% of their bomber fleet and initially the global media
- reaction is this is an escalation from Ukraine to attack Russia's nuclear
- bomber fleet and this is President Zilinski refuting this
- argument when asked by journalists whether yesterday's operation might enrage the Russians I responded that
- just a day earlier Russia had launched a massive overnight attack of Ukraine over
- 400 drones and missiles they struck civilian infrastructure residential buildings there were casualties people
- killed and injured this happens every single day sometimes there's a short
- pause and to be honest we now call it a pause if there's just no one killed that
- night but even then drones still fly and people get wounded these so-called >br>
- 5:02
- pauses just mean fewer attacks than usual but we're still talking about dozens of drones and cruise missiles so
- no no one cares whether Russia is angry what matters is that Russia must move
- toward ending this war and as a global community we must all do what we can to
- stop them this was a residential building destroyed by a KH101 missile launched
- from a TU95 bomber a bomber that Ukraine just destroyed this was an apartment
- building destroyed by a Russian KH22 missile launched from a Tu22 bomber that
- Ukraine just destroyed in this war there's never been a more appropriate action than for
- Russia to for Ukraine to destroy these bombers that Russia has been using to blow up apartment
- buildings what is the true damage assessment now that it's been 48 hours >br>
- 6:02
- satellite images reveal wreckage of Russia's strategic bombers after Ukraine's spiderweb drone operation
- and the satellite images aren't great in that we don't really have clear highresolution
- images why don't we have them after 2 days and if it's cloudy you're not getting satellite images so my
- speculation is with these five air bases that were targeted maybe it's been cloudy the last
- two days but what has been released uh is pretty telling this is uh satellite
- images just from the Bellia Air Base this one is also Bellia and from these
- satellite images the experts are saying that we've got three destroyed TU95s one
- possible damaged TU95 one destroyed TU22s three destroyed TU
- 22M we have uh the before and after based on that one satellite images alone >br>
- 7:03
- this was uh released by Radio Free Europe and you can see that some of the
- bombers are gone we have the before and then the after i think if a plane was
- just damaged Russia would have moved it before the satellite images could be taken so what we're seeing are just the
- planes that burned to the ground where everything fell apart and basically the uh the center of the plane disintegrated
- from the flames when the fuel tanks were hit so what is the true number and we don't
- know but visually confirmed either on the ground or fat from satellite images
- this is what independent experts are saying at the Alenia air base four TU95
- destroyed one damaged one AN22 destroyed at the Bellia air base three TU95
- destroyed one damaged and then four TU22s destroyed at the Ukrain air base >br>
- 8:00
- one TU95 damaged or destroyed at the Ivano Air Base one illusion 76 and the
- A50 Awax plane we'll talk about that in a second and then at the Divvo air base
- none confirmed uh so far this is a big deal chinese satellite
- images show a destroyed Russian A50 AWAC plane the AWAC is the early warning
- radar plane and Russia doesn't have very many of these this one plane is worth
- $350 million if Operation Spiderweb with these drones and cargo shipping
- containers only got this one plane this would be a tremendous military victory
- all the other planes the bombers are great uh they're all worth about a hund00 million each but Russia does not
- have very many of these planes only 10 were ever built by the Soviets going
- back to February of 2022 it was speculated that only five were operational they were cannibalizing >br>
- 9:06
- parts from the five that are out of commission to keep the current five uh their
- service life maintained and Ukraine's already destroyed two of these they were shot down by Patriot missiles over the
- Black Sea also over Kranadar so if this third A50 was
- destroyed potentially Russia only has one or two of these still in
- operation for their entire air force to cover the Arctic Circle to cover the
- Pacific to cover the Chinese border to cover the Caspian Sea
- one potentially is still operational here's a graphic showing
- Russia's 122 bombers that's all they have left from Soviet production russia
- cannot produce any more of these planes ukrainian intelligence is still claiming they got about 40 destroyed or damaged >br>
- 10:06
- but once again the independent assessments based on firstirhand eyewitnesses or satellite images it's 10
- or 12 this is still a huge victory even if it's 10 when these planes are worth a
- hundred million each or more what are the Russians saying and according to Russian military bloggers they're
- putting the number at 18 18 planes damaged or destroyed including that very
- important A50 Awax plane this was the best prize russia
- still has bombers russia is still going to be launching cruise missiles um but Russia cannot easily adjust on
- the front lines as well as maintaining their global security apparatus if they
- truly only have one A50 left this is a big deal president Silinski also revealed >br>
- 11:00
- this interesting information even before this operation was carried out we had intelligence
- indicating that Russia was preparing another massive strike potentially what
- was this massive strike russia was planning Operation Zeus's Lightning the
- largest ever cruise missile attack on all of Ukraine for the night of June 1st
- to force Ukraine's hand at the Istanbul peace talks the next day ukrainian
- drones destroyed many of these very bombers which were already fueled hours
- before they were scheduled to take off wow this is coming from a Kremlin
- funded blog called uh Zarrad which was published on May
- 31st zeus's lightning good job Russia what did we learn from Operation
- Spiderweb and there's a couple important takeaways trump was not given a heads up on Ukraine's far-reaching drone strikes >br>
- 12:02
- in Russia this is according to White House officials so first thing we know is that Russia
- does not have any spies in Ukraine's inner circle whatever closed group that
- Zalinsky was sharing this information with none of them leaked this intelligence to the Russians so there
- are no Russian spies in Zilinsk's inner circle but also there are no American
- spies if anyone in Zilinsk's inner circle was feeding intelligence to the
- United States Trump and the CIA would have found out but the West had no clue
- russia had no clue ukraine was able to independently and secretly carry out
- this massive operation this is insanely impressive ukraine's audacious drone
- attacks are a recipe for Russian paranoia this is the after effects that's going
- to greatly help Ukraine in this war because now Russia's intelligence services one they're incredibly >br>
- 13:06
- embarrassed but two they now have to take precautions against shipping containers that might contain kamicazi
- FPV drones we're already seeing the effects russia is putting up uh
- barricades and checkpoints everywhere to check the trucks of every truck in
- Russia and you can only do this for so long like for the next couple weeks I
- think Russia is going to take this serious but this requires manpower this requires time and this economically
- hinders and slows down the country all of these trucks are now going to be delayed in their deliveries which has a
- negative economic impact on the Russian economy and then there's Putin where's
- Putin anytime something disastrous happens for the Russian states Putin's standard go-to move is to disappear for
- 72 hours the sinking of the Kursk submarine the terrorist attacks in >br>
- 14:04
- Moscow and the Caucases anytime something embarrassing happens for Russia Putin just retreats and
- disappears for a couple days and then when he reemerges he pretends like nothing
- happened putin doesn't know how to respond to this there is no response that
- Russia the threat that Russia can do more or that Russia is going to now take
- this war seriously after three and a half years that is the most pathetic cope I get from comments of people still
- supporting Russia russian propagandists are split between downplaying the devastating
- Ukrainian attacks and issuing more threats so let's pretend you work at RT
- News do you pretend like this didn't happen do you say this was devastating
- and Ukraine still possesses this capability three and a half years into the war when Ukraine is able to attack >br>
- 15:01
- the Crimean bridge or destroy an A50 Awax plane this goes counter to the
- narrative that Ukraine is about to collapse that Ukraine is still fighting this war on its last leg and the war
- might be over soon this is what the Russian state media apparatus tells their people every day
- ukraine is almost defeated continue supporting Putin but no this war is nowhere's near
- over russia is no closer to winning russia today controls less of Ukraine
- than they did 3 years ago this is stupid i did show this clip this is a
- Russian conscript I think at the Oenia Air Base uh and I'm guessing he was on
- anti-aircraft duty and he managed to film himself showing Russia's strategic
- bombers on fire this clip went viral he probably didn't mean for it to go viral
- but this kid is now in serious trouble and Solv on Kremlin State TV is calling >br>
- 16:05
- for this conscript to be executed the videos that appeared from there were
- shot by conscripts is it possible to just shoot this conscript to bring this bastard in
- front of the whole unit and shoot him like a traitor to the
- motherland yeah he he screwed up showing his face if he had just posted the video
- and didn't show his face maybe he would have gotten away with it but Solv is now
- calling for the execution of this Russian conscript who filmed their burning
- planes this is what we're supposed to be talking about this week russia has been
- saving up their offensive strength for a big summer offensive and we're kind of in the middle of it russian offensive
- attacks surged 19% in May while attempts of peace talks continue just on May 4th >br>
- 17:02
- Russian forces launched a record 269 assault operations across the front
- lines i'm not doing map updates for you because they're not making any progress if they conducted 269 assault
- operations sure they took some wheat fields somewhere but mostly they just die russia just sends their soldiers to
- die in meatwave attacks wave after wave Russia shatters drone record
- launches 472 drones at Ukraine the night
- before Ukraine got their uh strategic bombers but this is what Russia wants
- the world thinking about and talking about 479 cruise and cruise missiles and
- drones launched against Ukrainian civilian cities the night before peace
- talks russia's master plan this week was to convince the world that supporting >br>
- 18:00
- Ukraine was hopeless and Ukraine's about to lose anyways so you might as well just let Russia
- win and Ukraine stole the narrative they stole the headlines ukraine won the
- propaganda battle this week by far russia and Ukraine agree to a
- prisoner swap but peace talks stall in Istanbul this is the second round of direct
- negotiations between the Russians and the Ukrainians in Istanbul and the meeting lasted just an
- hour only an hour were these people able to sit in the same room and talk to each other and here is the Russian delegation
- and remember this is the day after they lost billions of dollars
- worth of strategic bombers they don't look very happy to be at this uh this
- event >br>
- 19:09
- this might come as a shock but there was no breakthrough there was no ceasefire announced no peace deal reached this is
- a waste of time russia is sending low-level delegates lavough's not there
- pescos's not there they're sending nobodyies to just waste the world's
- time russia did pres present their peace memorandum what are Russia's demands
- five Ukrainian regions a ban on NATO limits on Kev's army russia media
- publishes Moscow's official peace demands here's the list full withdrawal
- of the Ukrainian armed forces from Daesk Luhansk Hersan and Zaparisia including
- the regions of Danbos and Little Russia within 30 days of a ceasefire >br>
- 20:00
- international recognition of Crimea Danbos and Novarosia little Russia is
- being part of Russia ukrainian neutrality forever elections must be
- held in Ukraine followed by the signing of a peace treaty by the new leader I guess
- a ban on the redeployment of Ukrainian armed forces except for troop withdrawals a ban on hosting and
- deploying nuclear weapons in Ukraine a ban on the supply of Western weapons and intelligence to Ukraine the lifting of
- all sanctions and a refusal to introduce new sanctions on Russia a waiver of mutual claims related
- to damage caused during hostilities meaning there will be no reparations from Russia to Ukraine this was Russia's
- demands for peace and I'm going to break it down for you why this is impossible
- and this is suicidal for Ukraine even to entertain which they don't so Russia
- after three and a half years of war has failed to take the administrative borders of Daesque but they claim they >br>
- 21:06
- annex this territory that they've never controlled so after three and a half years of failing to take
- Constantin Slovian Russia just wants to be given this territory ukraine has to give up
- all their defensive lines all of their fortifications and just move 50
- kilometers back into their own country the Russ The Russians used to control
- the city of Leman they want it back even though they lost it the Russians want the
- administrative border of Zaparisia a city of 700,000 people zaparizia is bigger than my
- hometown of Milwaukee Wisconsin and the Russians want their artillery to be
- allowed to be once again brought to the administrative border putting Russian artillery within striking range of the
- city of Nepro a million people the Russians also want to be given back the >br>
- 22:03
- north bank of the Nepro River and the city of Hersan pre-war population 300,000
- people russia lost this city on the battlefield they once controlled it and
- now they don't control it and they want to be granted uh for their artillery to be placed within striking range of
- Mikolive mikolive is a city of 400,000 people these demands are not acceptable
- not even Donald Trump and I think Witoff is insisting that Ukraine give up more
- territory for a ceasefire or for a lasting peace what is Ukraine's reaction
- to Russia's peace demands here are thoughts from Ilia Ponareno having read that laughable
- scrap of paper a grotesque list of demands for total Ukrainian capitulation
- that the Russians in Istanbul dare to call a peace memorandum i can only repeat the obvious boundless arrogance >br>
- 23:02
- bloated conceit and propagandist bravado have already played a callous joke on
- Russia in this war against Ukraine these delusions have cost them 250,000 lives
- 4,000 tanks and 8,000 pieces of light armored equipment over three years of a
- war they're now neck deep in just yesterday their cheap imperial hubris
- cost them a third of their strategic long range aviation and still they
- stubbornly refuse to turn their brains on and in the end this will ultimately
- destroy them the Russians don't want a ceasefire
- the Russians don't want peace because Putin doesn't want a ceasefire and Putin
- doesn't want peace all of this killing all of this death this war continues
- because of only one man and everybody else in Russia just has to play along
- they have to pretend to be dumb and they have to find a way to continue doing >br>
- 24:04
- what Putin wants them to do so here is Solaf on Kremlin State TV the latest
- clip from Russia media monitor giving up the game russia
- doesn't want peace russia doesn't want a ceasefire these wars are going to continue until Russia gets their empire
- back so in this heated exchange this is the day after all these planes were destroyed this commentator is trying to
- be reasonable and sold off is through the roof this guy is exploding on camera
- if you want to hear his voice and what he's saying I'll link the clip down below but this is the back and forth
- exchange he has with one of his panel guests did we come closer to peace at
- this point in time that's what the commentator is saying once again you don't understand you are the ones who
- need peace just me everyone needs peace so this is what the commentator is saying back and forth but Solv is then >br>
- 25:02
- going to cut him off and say what this war is really about no we need victory our goal is
- completely different our goal is to make sure that our country is flourishing and
- ensure its security for future generations if Nazi regimes and the political elites that support them have
- to cease to exist for this to happen then this is what will happen we have no
- goal to preserve the Ukrainian political nation but we aren't talking about it we
- don't need peace we need victory victory do you understand our conditions are
- very simple our national interests have to be upheld peace at any price a
- ceasefire we never said this not once it's true putin has never called
- for a ceasefire like a 30-day or a lasting ceasefire kremlin State TV has >br>
- 26:00
- never talked about accepting a ceasefire do they want peace sure yeah they want
- peace but Ukraine has to surrender completely and allow itself to be absorbed into the new Russian Empire
- there will only be peace when the Ukrainian national identity has been erased that is genocide that's their
- only goal and they'll continue killing millions and allow millions of their own to die until they achieve that goal of
- genocide zilinsky urges Trump to enforce tougher sanctions if peace talks with Russia stall these peace talks are
- pointless they're going nowhere russia is not going to negotiate unless they're
- negotiating from weakness russia has to wobble their economy their military has
- to wobble before Putin will ever entertain a ceasefire or stopping this
- war we now have action donald Trump is allowing Republicans in Congress to move >br>
- 27:01
- john Thun the majority leader in the Senate is going to schedule a vote and we just got confirmation from Speaker
- Mike Johnson he's going to allow a vote this is the quotes from Jake Sherman he
- spoke with or heard from Speaker Johnson there's many members of Congress that
- want us to sanction Russia as strongly as we can and I'm an advocate of this
- this is Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick he's leading the charge for the sanctions bill in the House thank
- you Speaker Johnson for your support now is the time for Congress to act decisively we must pass my bipartisan
- sanctioning Russia act with Senator Lindsey Graham to hold Putin's regime accountable for refusing to pursue peace
- violating Ukraine's sovereignty and continuing to attack innocent civilians with
- impunity this is also from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham decisive
- leadership in dangerous times mr speaker you're helping President Trump and >br>
- 28:01
- others who wish to end this war by being willing to hold Putin and China accountable for playing games not
- seeking peace well done pray for peace this vote is happening this week

- being coordinated with the G7 and the European Union president Silinski has
- confirmed this we did it guys we did
- it and the Russians are freaking out here is Alexander Dugan on Twitter maga
- where are you aren't we supposed to be on the same side didn't Russia spend hundreds of
- millions of dollars in bot farms and influencers to get Donald Trump elected
