0:46Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose as Zelensky's drones continue to swarm in Russia. Russia is responding, launching its biggest ballistic missile strike yet on Kyiv. Over 40 ballistic missiles in the past 24 hours. I want to show you what's going down. We're getting new footage of the drone swarms that hit the Wildberry facility in Moscow. It's like the biggest logistical center in Moscow. Wildberry is like their Amazon and Ukraine. Ukraine says that, look, that's being used to supply the Russian army in the war. Let me show you the footage that we're now seeing. This is the moment Ukrainian drones hit the Wildberry Logistical Center in Moscow.

1:34Ben Meiselas:Here, let's play. Yes, it's Wildberries, as I said.

2:03Ben Meiselas:all right the smoke clouds coming up from this facility and surrounding moscow massive let me just show you this video of what the surrounding region in Moscow looked like with the black smoke overhead it's a Mordor here play this clip show you this photo right here of what the Moscow area facility this wild berries facility look like right here show you an overhead view from an airplane of what it looked like looking down here play this clip

3:50Ben Meiselas:Now, Jane Keeve also points out that in less than two weeks, Ukraine's operations in the Azov Sea successfully cleared it of most Russian ships. And so remember, Zelensky announced that he had this plan that he was going to be implementing. And what the plan was essentially is drone swarms in Azov Sea. Once you clear the Azov Sea of their tankers, then move on to the Black Sea. And that's what we're seeing these Ukrainian drone swarms do. If you compare July 6th to July 18th, showed 132 ships. Now there's only 29 ships. So a drop in about 78 % of the ships. And the strikes continue. And basically, ain't no ships traveling in Azov right now.

4:41Ben Meiselas:And all of the tankers in the Black Sea essentially know that they're sitting ducks, if you will. I'll show you the B-roll right here, the latest drop by the Ukrainian Unmanned Special Forces team, showing the damage the drone is doing. 13 additional Shadow Fleet vessels were destroyed in the Black and Azov Seas on July 18th. Eight cargo ships, one tanker, one LNG carrier, one tugboat, and two floating cranes. You can see right there, B-roll, what that looks like right there. Moving to Kyiv for a moment. And Kyiv, Zepresia, other areas in Ukraine hit hard as well, though, by Russia. At least 40 Iskander ballistic missiles hit Kyiv.

5:34Ben Meiselas:This is the largest number of ballistic missiles the entire war rained down on Kyiv. Here are some of the images. You can look right here at the Luganivka district in Kiev. You can see what that looked like last night. Take a look at just some of these photos of Kiev. I showed you the Moscow region, the Wild Berries facility. This is what it looks like in Kiev. And you see the dark black smoke there. Look right there. Major strikes in Kiev as well. Look at this. More scenes from Kiev. You can see where some of the strikes were taking place there. share with you. And Max26 has a great job. Really love his work.

Let me share with you some of the efforts by some of the Ukrainians who are like literally they're standing up there with some to try to stop some of these Russian Shahids. They're standing like vertical with these man pads. Let me show you one such image from the past 24 hours.

10:05I'm sorry, I'm not going to get a lot of food here.

10:12I'm not going to get a lot of food. I'm not going to get a lot of food.

10:18Ben Meiselas:I'm not going to get a lot of food. protests after Zelensky fired the former defense minister, a very popular guy, 35 years old, Mikhail Fedorov, was fired. And this guy was the guy who revolutionized the kind of drone force, the unmanned special forces. And Zelensky apparently was pressured out by the commander in chief of the Ukrainian forces, Oleksandr Tsaritsky, to fire Fedorov. And that triggered massive protests in Ukraine against Zelensky's firing, against Sirowski. The people love Fedorov as well. And I'll show you, Fedorov dropped a video also right as he was fired to talk about the work that they did.

11:13Ben Meiselas:But let me just share with you some of the scenes right here of what it looked like in Ukraine as these protests continue. Let's just share this footage with you right here. Let's play it.

11:37Ben Meiselas:And that was the footage from the third day of protests in Kiev right there. So you can see for yourself now, Fedorov published the following statement. We transformed Ukraine into a global tech leader in a defense powerhouse beyond digital ideas, Daya City, and 5G. We revolutionized warfare through the army of drones and the Brave One UA cluster. We achieved logistical lockdown for the occupiers, reached a 91 % Shahid interception rate, and launched the unique ePoint system to incentivize our troops on the front lines. Seven years of service from GovTech to DefenseTech. Thank you for your trust.

12:20Ben Meiselas:We don't need to play the whole video, guys. Just I want to show a little bit so our viewers can see what Fedorov put out. Let's play it.

Of course, I'm doing videos and showing you what's going on in Iran and in the Arab nations in the Middle East right now. And it was Donald Trump who said he'd resolve the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. He'd get in no more never-ending wars, make things more affordable. And of course, he's really been the cause that made things much, much, much worse at this point.
