Kremlin Panic: Aide Warns of New Civil War - Jason Jay Smart



Russia is on the brink, and its own top insiders are now admitting it. As Ukrainian drones hammered Russia's industrial core overnight, gutting the Lukoil-Volgograd refinery and hitting the Kostroma power plant, Putin's top ideologue, Alexander Kharichev, published a chilling public warning. He has explicitly identified a "new civil war" as a primary threat to the Russian state, a stunning admission of panic from within the highest ranks of the Kremlin. The system is fundamentally breaking.

This internal collapse is a direct consequence of failures on the front. In Pokrovsk, Russian forces are bogged down in a desperate, bloody battle, failing to secure the strategic victory propaganda has falsely claimed. Ukraine's General Staff confirms the city holds, and elite SBU and HUR units are exacting a heavy toll, exposing the profound weakness of Moscow's war machine.

The drone strikes on Russia's oil core, combined with the meat grinder in Pokrovsk, are fueling the very internal contradictions Putin fears. The lies are unraveling, and the elite are fighting over dwindling resources. This video breaks down Kharichev's new "civil war" warning, the battle map reality in Pokrovsk, and the devastating economic impact of the strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure.
