In Turkey, you have Putin launching a massive ballistic missile strike on Kyiv and Kharsan in Zephrushchev.

1:43Overnight, we saw massive attacks. There have been numerous casualties, at least seven dead in Kyiv. Sadly, we expect that number to increase. You also see, on the other hand, Zelensky launching massive drone swarms in the direction of Russia, targeting oil depots right here. Donald Trump promised that he was going to end this war in 24 hours of taking office or 24 hours after the election. Obviously, that didn't happen. Putin is trying to apply maximum pressure right before this NATO meeting in Ankara is set to take place. You have an emergency warning right now in Poland. Let me read for you the Polish military's urgent warning about NATO potentially coming under fire by Russia.

2:34Now, I had warned that Russia was perhaps looking to either launch a drone swarm in Poland or launch an attack there, especially as this NATO summit was approaching. Here is what we're hearing from the operational command of the Polish armed forces. They're announcing that due to the ongoing activity of Russian long-range aviation against Ukraine, NATO fighter and support aircraft have been scrambled while ground-based air defense systems and radar Our reconnaissance has been raised to a state of maximum readiness throughout Poland. You had Zelensky warning NATO of potential strikes in the direction of Warsaw, and Zelensky warning that Russia was going to escalate within Ukraine itself.

3:22You see, Zelensky's been having a lot of trouble getting those Patriot systems, the interceptors from the United States. Zelensky has pretty good capabilities of shooting down the Shahids and the other Russian FPV drone swarms, but they need Patriot interceptors in order to stop the ballistics coming from Russia, and they simply don't have the interceptors. Putin realizes that, and that's one of the reasons why we're seeing an escalation in the ballistic missile to drone ratio coming from Putin. Let's take a look right here. I'll show you some of the photos of what Kiev is looking like Monday morning.

4:04You see it burning right there. I'll show you the map right here of the large-scale Ukrainian drone attack underway in multiple locations across Western Russia, including Moscow, as well as in Crimea. I'll show you right here an ordinary residential building, it appears, in Kiev getting hit. And we are seeing lots of residential buildings getting hit in Kiev. Let's play this clip right here.

4:41Separately, Times of Ukraine captured this video right here. This is a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile also slamming into several residential buildings in Kiev. You can see for yourself. Play this clip.

4:59I'll pull back for a second right here, and you can see footage showing ammunition right here. that is exploding even further at the Zolyani machine building plant in Vyzar, in the Vishniv Kiev oblast, of course, following a Russia strike right here. About 16 seconds more from this site. I'll show you right here. Let's play it.

5:40Yeah, a Russian missile also destroyed the Russian corporation building in Kiev. That's a Ukrainian confectionery manufacturing company. Let me show you what that looks like right here so you can see for yourself.

6:07Now, I talked about these Ukrainian drone swarms hitting Russia. Here's a power substation that appears to be hit in Kadyevka. Play this clip.

6:20Now, Russia, meanwhile, is attacking some of Ukraine's food supply right here. I'll show you right here one of the largest poultry farm suppliers right here under attack. Let's play it.

6:40I want to share with you various images right now of Kyiv under attack on the night of Monday, July 6th into the morning. I'll show you A, B, and C right here. Let me show you the first video so you can see for yourself.

7:04Here's another video of it. Let's play it.

7:13I got one more I'd like to share with you. Let's play that video.

7:35Ben Meiselas:Look, if you're in this community, you're paying attention. You know what's happening. And a lot of what's happening, it's directly affecting your Medicare. Plans are being discontinued. Premiums are going up. And the broker you might have talked to probably pushing Medicare Advantage plans, even if they aren't right for you. That's why I want you to know about Chapter. They're the only advisors who compare every Medicare plan in the country. Thousands of people from this community have already used them. One viewer, Kevin in Florida, is saving$2 ,100 a year. Another, Steven, finally has a plan that covers his dialysis.

And if not, they'll help you find a plan that fits your needs. I want you to know that we've gotten such incredible feedback from the Midas Mighty about Chapter. Frankly, it is overwhelming the positivity that is out there for Chapter. And so I'm so glad to be affiliated with it. I'm so glad you're all having great experiences. So call 82 Medicare today to speak with Chapter. That is 82 Medicare and feel confident in your Medicare coverage. Now we're hearing from President Zelensky of Ukraine.

8:56Here's what he's been warning about. Intelligence indicates that Russians are preparing new massive strikes. Typical of Putin, Zelensky says, right after America's Independence Day and before NATO summit in Ankara, any delay with missiles for our air defense means loss of lives, and it encourages Russia to continue waging this war. Missile for patriots are needed, not in warehouses right now, but in patriot units in Ukraine. I thank everyone who is providing real help. Glory to Ukraine. And real help to me is a message to people like Donald Trump who are not providing real help and are withholding those interceptors right now.

9:38Zelensky also notes the following. Today, fighting continues for the Kostintatnivka, which Putin has already claimed for himself, but clearly you will never risk showing up there because in reality, all he truly has is Moscow, St. Petersburg, and his residents, Zelensky says. I did show yesterday, Putin seems to be moving one of his super yachts into the Arctic area, accompanied by two Russian naval vessels. Zelensky goes on to say, this is the greatest cynicism of this war. A person who relies only on his inner circle, on Moscow, and on his favorite residences is burning everything he can reach and killing even his own citizens, at least 30 ,000 a month, simply so that he can continue avoiding a decision on peace.

10:25This June too, there were almost 30 ,000 confirmed losses among Russian occupiers at the front, killing and severely wounded. About 30 ,000 deaths is at least the number Zelensky's putting out there of Russian soldiers who have been killed. I also want to point this out as well, because I think it's important that we understand the various dynamics of what's taking place across the world. I want to share with us what's going on in Mali right now. There have been lots of clashes between the Malian army. They're run by this junta, if you will, that's backed by Russia. The Russia-Africa Corp is what they're calling the kind of rebranded version of some of those Russian militias that were out there.

11:19But anyway, Mali's backed by the Russia-Africa Corps. It did seem like Trump was trying to endear himself to that Mali Russian-backed government right there. Notably, you have the war taking place there against the Azawad Liberation Front, the FLA. And the FLA, lots of people believe, could the FLA be being trained with Ukrainian tactics to go against the Russian African Corps there? Could the FLA be being trained by France? There's a lot of questions there. But there were clashes yesterday. The Russian African Corps took a lot of losses, lots of losses. You can see the whole trail of these losses.

12:09Take a look at the overhead satellite images right here as well. And I'll share with you as the FLA is able to successfully down a Russian MI-24 hind helicopter gunship during an ambush on a military convoy, resulting in the death of several dozen Malayans and Russians, those allied with the Malayan junta. And I want to share this with you, though, just so you understand. There are wars going on throughout the world right now as a result, I think, as well of when the world's unstable in general. But Trump's, you know, as Trump likes to brag, I stopped this war, I stopped that war. There are wars quite literally everywhere right now.

12:54And, you know, here's what's going on in Mali so you can see for yourself. Let me show you as the FLA downs this here. Play this clip right there.

13:26Yeah. So, you know, Zelensky also notes that we have the capabilities to shoot down more than 90 % of drones, but unfortunately, not all of the ballistics are intercepted, and the ballistic missiles are now what Russia is leaning on to continue the war. And he basically goes on to say, we need these interceptors. We need these interceptors. He goes, to our partners, any delay with the missiles means the loss of lives. Above all, these are, of course, decisions by the United States, decisions by strong countries in Europe around the world. Please be active in your decisions to protect lives. Missiles for patriots are needed, not in warehouses right now.

14:09But we need those. So you have the meeting that's taking place right now tomorrow in Ankara in Turkey. Donald Trump will be showing up there. As you know, Donald Trump has been continuing to threaten to move weapons and troops outside of Eastern Europe. I've been highlighting how in Russia you had Ushakov, Dmitriyov, Lavrov. They've been saying, look, when we met in Anchorage, Trump and Whitcoff made us a series of promises. They sent us certain deals and we expected them to make good on those deals. And then you have Rubio saying, no, we never did anything. We never did that. To which Ushakov and Lavrov were saying, yeah, I mean, that's what you took.

14:57One of the reasons we came out to Anchorage is because you made us certain promises. Meanwhile, we know Whitcoff literally has a signed note that Putin gave him regarding taking over Crimea territory that Whitcoff has mounted in his office. I showed you a video last night of Keith Kellogg, who was the former envoy to Ukraine. He was supposed to be the envoy to Russia and Ukraine. He's been very critical of Witkoff and Kushner, how they handled Anchorage, how they basically seemingly told the Russians that they were going to give them Ukrainian land, Donbass, etc., when they didn't have such authority to do that and that they view things as real estate deals and real estate transactions.

15:44While we're on the topic, I want to point out one other thing as well. I think it's important that we focus on, too. Lots of intelligence that is suggesting that Netanyahu is working with the Board of Peace, as Trump calls it, the fake Board of Peace, in order to claim certain breaches of the ceasefire by Hamas in order to take over more land in Gaza. and that this is worth the intelligence of saying the Board of Peace, using that name Board of Peace, right straight out of 1984, perhaps more dystopian, will claim a Hamas-Gaza violation of ceasefire permitting Netanyahu to try to take more land and further the genocide in Gaza.

16:32So pay attention to that. Since the fake ceasefire has been announced, there's been still over a thousand people, innocent women, children who have been murdered and killed by the Netanyahu regime there. So we're focusing on all of these developments right now. We'll keep you posted throughout the day. Hit subscribe. Help us get to 7 million. Thank you so much for watching.
