HUGE EXPLOSION blows off walls: Factory ablaze in St Petersburg Russian logistics collapse! - UATV English




Russia's war is becoming increasingly costly for the Kremlin. Ammunition depots are exploding in the Belgorod region, the strategic "Arsenal" military plant is on fire in St. Petersburg, and strikes on the Chonhar bridge and Russian logistics are forcing the occupiers to abandon their positions on the Kinburn Spit. Ukraine is ramping up pressure not only on the front line but also deep inside the enemy's rear.

At the same time, the West is moving into a new phase of supporting Kyiv. France, the United Kingdom, and Germany are ready to help establish a powerful defense system against Russian ballistic missiles, while the EU and NATO discuss new aid packages and tighter sanctions. Against the backdrop of mounting losses and economic troubles, even within the Russian elites, the war is increasingly being discussed as a strategic catastrophe for Putin's regime.

We'll see how Russia likes having to fight on multiple fronts.
