“This attack on Kiev now is a sort of measured response.” Professor Richard Sakwa says the Russian strikes were a measured response: enough to send a message while stopping well short of full-scale retaliation. “Russia's trying to keep the war to Ukraine.” Full interview on Sanchez Effect.

“If Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn too.” — President Zelenskyy Ukraine appears to be making good on that warning. Following what is being described as one of the largest successful Ukrainian strikes on Moscow, videos of massive explosions and fires are circulating online. Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Lavrov, have acknowledged the attack and are already threatening retaliation. The war is no longer confined to the front lines. It is reaching deep into the Russian capital.

There is a partial blackout in Moscow region after a Ukrainian drone strike on energy infrastructure. This will have a psychological effect on the Putin regime similar to that on the Hitler regime from the RAF bombing Berlin in 1940. The russian fascist state is brittle.

Former CIA officer John Kiriakou explains how Ukrainian operations against Russia rely heavily on Western intelligence. “The Ukrainians on their own wouldn’t have lasted a week.” Kiriakou says the US provides targeting intelligence and geo-coordinates for strikes on Russian military figures — even training Ukrainian forces on advanced weapons systems before delivery. This is what proxy wars look like. Full breakdown on the Sanchez Effect.

❗️"In the coming weeks, the pressure on Russia's economy will change dramatically," — Macron "40% of Russia's war efforts are financed through the shadow fleet. This is the first time we have such a comprehensive, holistic approach to Russian oil and gas. Firstly, through the US decision on sanctions, and secondly, through the strengthening of our pressure on the shadow fleet. So I truly believe that in the coming weeks, the pressure on Russia's economy and its ability to finance the war will change dramatically."

Moscow and Beijing treat diplomacy like a long-term strategy. Washington changes policy every administration — almost like changing underwear. And that’s why Russia-China ties have grown much tighter. RT correspondent Donald Courter says it’s hard to trust the US because “you make a deal, then somebody else comes to power with a completely different agenda.” Full breakdown on The Sanchez Effect.

“Russia says 18 killed in strike on student dorm that it blamed on Ukraine” — Reuters’ actual headline following Ukraine's deadly strikes on Starobelsk. RT’s Murad Gazdiev highlights a pattern of editorial double standards in Western media, where language is selectively framed depending on who carried out the attack. Some mainstream outlets even declined invitation to visit the scene and examine the facts firsthand. Can journalists ignore a story and still claim to fully inform the public? Full breackdown on the Sanchez Effect.

❗️In occupied Crimea and a number of regions of the Russian Federation, there is already a gasoline shortage due to strikes on oil refining and logistics. Ukrainian positions on the front are strong, and long-range strikes are effective. Russia loses more than 30,000 military personnel every month. Zelenskyy emphasized: clear diplomatic progress is needed so that Moscow understands — the war will bring it no benefits.

HODGES: Russia's enjoying and revelling in the fact that there's zero pressure from United States on them to do anything. Instead, sanctions have been lifted on Russian oil. There are zero repercussions from United States for intelligence and aid Russia's providing to Iran, which is targeting American troops and our partners in the region. Zero consequences for them for that.

‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 Zelensky just drew a massive, bloody target directly over Russia's elite nerve centers, warning Putin that a storm of thousands of drones is about to shatter the illusion of safety in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In a fierce, uncompromising statement, the Ukrainian President announced a dramatic escalation of deep-theater strikes, promising to bring the full horror of the war directly to the doorsteps of Russia's ruling class. Zelensky made it clear that as long as Ukrainian strikes avoided Russia's twin capitals, Putin felt insulated from his own aggression. However, the strategy is shifting completely: Ukraine intends to rain over a thousand drones down on Moscow and St. Petersburg to force the Kremlin and its trembling elites to face reality, panic for their lives, and run for cover beyond the Ural Mountains. This is the ultimate psychological and strategic masterstroke to break the back of the Russian occupation. By turning Russia's most affluent, decision-making capitals into active war zones, Ukraine is stripping Putin of his domestic stability and hitting the elites exactly where they sleep. When the very people funding and ordering the slaughter of Ukrainians find themselves hiding in bomb shelters, the pressure on the Kremlin will become completely unsustainable—making Putin's retreat from Moscow the literal gateway to a Ukrainian victory.
