0:46Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose right now in Moscow as Ukraine's President Zelensky just unleashed another massive drone swarm hitting targets in that Moscow region. Look as the fire continues to spread in the Moscow Oblast right there. The main target was the Wildberries logistical facility right there. Wildberries is like Russia's Amazon, if you will. It's believed, however, that the logistical facility there, and that's the biggest one in Russia right there, is used also for military purposes. And Zelensky has said since Russia targeted logistical facilities in Ukraine, Ukraine targeting this Wildberry logistical facility right there, this massive warehouse, multiple football fields, long and wide.

1:43Ben Meiselas:And you can see what it looks like. I want to bring you the images there, and then I want to talk about some of the other strikes that are taking place because Ukraine's unmanned system forces hit 12 more of Russia's shadow fleet vessels in the Black Sea in the past 24 hours. Also, the 295 strategic bomber at Engel's military base in the Saratov region in Russia was also hit by Ukraine right now. And then also I want to talk about the fact that Russia is striking in Kiev. Russia continues to strike in Zyprosia. Russia continues to strike throughout Ukraine as well. Hell is breaking loose in the region over there.

2:28Ben Meiselas:Of course, the United States has escalated its war against Iran and the U.S. committing all of these war crimes there. You have Iran responding as well. U.S. striking desalinization facilities in Iran. Iran's striking desalinization facilities in Arab nations. So you have the entire world engulfed in a war right now. I think a lot of it stems from Donald Trump's weakness. He promised in 24 hours that he was going to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. He's failed to do that. He said that he would be able to do all of these deals, but all he's done is create more wars around the world. Well, take a look right here as the fire continued to spread in the Moscow Oblast right here.

3:14Ben Meiselas:And you'll see, you know, this is at that Wildberries facility. Let's play this clip.

3:27Ben Meiselas:Pan back a little bit and you can see the Ukrainian drones attacking the oil depots in the Moscow Oblast as well. some oil depots being hit, the Wild Berries facility being hit. Let's show you what went down there.

3:55Ben Meiselas:Show you over here a variety of Ukrainian drone models involved. Hat tip to my friend Jay A and Keeve, incredible job aggregating a lot of this stuff. Take a listen first. I'll show you A, which is the drone itself. You can see these Ukrainian drones. They've got the FP-1, the FP-2s. The FP-5s are the Flamingo ballistics, but the FP-1, FP-2s are their kind of long-range drones. They could hit 3 ,000 kilometers, by the way, 3 ,000 kilometers. Here, let's play A.

4:37Ben Meiselas:Now I'll just show you B right here so you can see what it looks like with that Wild Berries facility completely engulfed. Here, watch for yourself.

4:57Ben Meiselas:now as i noted before you have the drone swarms of the ukrainian special uh forces unmanned systems forces striking russia's shadow fleet in the black sea you know that they've been striking hard as well in the Sea of Azov. And now the Black Sea, they've really ramped up their efforts. I do want to just make this, I'll show the B-roll though right now of what it looks like in the Black Sea as you have at least 12 more Russian Shadow Fleet vessels that are being hit. I do want to make this point though. At a time where the US strategic reserves have hit tank bottom, at a time where the Strait of Hormuz is shut down, it appears the Bob El-Mondob Strait is going to be shut down as well soon by the houthis working with iran as the trump regime is threatening the ground invasion i talked about earlier now we're seeing you know the escalation between russia and ukraine ukraine striking back hard but that also means less oil supply just you know logistically as well and so we're in a situation in uncharted an uncharted territory and again this is what happened when you have a madman a psychotic loser like donald trump in charge so you saw the b-roll right there on what everything looks like in the Black Sea.

6:15Ben Meiselas:Now, you take a look at what some of these military bloggers in Russia are talking about, and they are confirming that the 295 strategic bomber destroyed by Ukraine. I have no good news for you about the 295. Of course, you can argue, it's what they were texting each other, that people are alive and that's the main thing that is indeed the main thing it's just we no longer build such an aircraft we haven't built them for a long time the 295 tu-95 is the you know one of the bombers that is um vaunted exalted in in russia the sbu long-range drones destroyed a russian 295 strategic bomber the drones flew roughly 800 kilometers to the target according to preliminary data the aircraft suffered critical damage with its tail section completely torn off.

7:10Ben Meiselas:Let me share this clip with you as well, though. This right here is of a almost vertical man pad launch on the Russian jet-powered Shaheed. So, what you're going to see here is a Ukrainian defender, the Russian Iranian Shaheed going to try to find its target in Ukraine. And you'll see the kind of almost vertical man pad shooting the Shaheed you can see for yourself here let's play this clip.

7:53I've talked about OneSkin before and I'm genuinely glad that we get to work with them because it has become part of my daily routine. I've been using the OS1 moisturizer and what really stands out is how my skin feels. It's smoother, stays hydrated, and over time, I've noticed it just looks healthier. It doesn't feel like another product that gives you a quick cosmetic effect then disappears. It actually works differently than the other skincare I've tried. As we age, some skin cells stop functioning the way they should. Longevity scientists call them zombie cells, and that is what is actually driving those visible signs of aging like fine lines and dullness.

8:26One skin's OS1 peptide was specifically engineered to address those, and with summer here, that matters even more because up to 80 % of visible skin aging starts with sun exposure. OneSkin's limited edition summer bundles pair their skincare with SPF essentials, so you're helping reverse the visible effects of UV aging while protecting your skin from new damage. It's also backed by four peer-reviewed clinical studies, more than 10 ,000 five-star reviews, and Bloomberg has recognized OneSkin as a leader in skin longevity.

9:38Ben Meiselas:I want to show you more footage of the Wild Berries facility, if I can, for a moment, because there's some additional footage I want to show you. Let me show you first in the morning what it looked like. As Jay in Kiev says, for years, Russia targeted Ukraine's postal service and logistic hub. So here's Ukraine responding. Let me show you what it looked like outside in the morning. Play this clip.

10:15Ben Meiselas:Now, let me show you this truly terrifying footage in the evening of the Wildberries warehouse. It's in the Tombov region during the explosions. You can hear the explosions. You can see the workers running as these Ukrainian drones are striking it. Here, let's play this clip. Let's go! Let's go!

10:41You can see the car in the car? No! Help me! Please! You're not! I'm not!

11:19Ben Meiselas:Also, the Russian markets are crashing right now. All international markets are crashing right now. Sadly, we saw South Korean market, China market, US had an awful weak Russia stock market, though absolutely crashing now that these strikes are occurring inside Moscow itself. We've been talking about how Ukraine developed these massive capabilities. Again, you can see right here, the market's crashing there as well. I want to highlight this also, though, because Russia's striking back hard at Ukraine. Russia's striking originally at Ukraine. Zelensky's showing this footage of Odessa. Two people were killed as a result of some of the strikes in Russia.

12:08Ben Meiselas:Five people, strikes from Russia. Five more people were injured, including three children. Ziprisia region under attack as well. Kiev under attack as well. There have been at least two people killed in Kyiv from these Russian strikes. One of the things that Ukraine doesn't really have a lot of is these Patriot interceptors or THAAD interceptors to intercept the Russian ballistic missiles. We also see that like Jordan and a lot of these Arab nations in the Middle East are running low on the interceptors. The US is the provider of these and went through most of their munitions in the first, whatever it was, 39, 40 days of the war with Iran.

12:52Ben Meiselas:U.S. is very low on those munitions. Iran sees that Jordan's low on those munitions. It keeps hitting Jordan really, really hard. I've talked about that in the video that I did earlier in the day. You could show some of the B-roll of what Zelensky posted in Zepresia and Odessa in Kiev as well right there. I do want to highlight an important story that's going on in Ukraine, so you know as well, though. Mikhail Fedorov was the former defense minister, very popular guy in Ukraine, young guy. He was the defense minister for about six months. But before being the defense minister, he really kind of pioneered the asymmetrical drone first war tactics of Ukraine, beloved figure in Ukraine.

13:38Ben Meiselas:But he clashed with the commander in chief, Colonel General Alexander Tsarinsky in Ukraine. So you had Fedorov versus Tsarinsky, and there was this like civil war going on. And Zelinsky had to ultimately make a decision. Do you go with the old guard Tsarinsky, or do you go with kind of the new young guy, asymmetrical warfare Fedorov? Tsarinsky and the old guard won out, and Zelinsky fired Fedorov. And people in Ukraine, being very blunt, are livid at that decision. They don't understand why would you do that. Fedorov's beloved, all of the FP1, FP2, FP5, the whole unmanned special forces. Like, that's Fedorov.

14:24Ben Meiselas:Why would you get rid of Fedorov? So there were actually mass protests going on in Ukraine. Lviv, let me show you over here, protesting Zelensky. Protests against Zelenskyy, protests calling for the firing of the old guard commander-in-chief and bringing back in Fedorov. Here, play this clip.

14:59Here, look at these massive protests in Kyiv, supporting Fedorov and protesting the decision

15:05Ben Meiselas:to fire Fedorov. Here, you can see for yourself what's going on there.
