Ukraine is Actively Exploiting Russia's Biggest Weakness - Paul Warburg
Ukraine has been striking Russian energy targets. Oil refineries, gas facilities, oil refineries, etc. This looks like something we've seen before. But it's actually different. These strikes, while familiar, are actually of a fundamentally different character. Whether it comes to the repeated nature of the strikes, or the strikes on the pipeline supplying Hungary and Slovakia, or Ukraine's demonstrated ability to knock out Russia's shadow fleet, something is changing in Ukraine's approach to the war, and things seem to be escalating quickly. I put this all in context of Putin's summit with Trump in Alaska to show what's actually going on, and why it's an incredible show of force from Ukraine.
