Ukraine’s latest wave of drone strikes deep inside Russian territory is shaking the Kremlin—and may mark a turning point in the Russia–Ukraine war. No longer confined to defending its borders, Ukraine is now launching bold cross-border attacks that hit Russian air bases, radar stations, oil refineries, and command centers. The result: growing panic inside the Kremlin, intensifying power struggles between the FSB and the Russian military, and rising fears of internal collapse.
In this exclusive conversation, former Navy SEAL and Kyiv Post Special Correspondent, Chuck Pfarrer, joins the Kyiv Post's Jason Jay Smart to break down:
- -- Why Ukraine is escalating long-range strikes
- -- How Russia’s air defenses are being overwhelmed
- -- Signs of internal disarray in Putin’s regime
- -- The FSB vs. Military power struggle intensifying
- -- Why this could be the beginning of open chaos in Moscow
