## Resource

Putin wanted the St. Petersburg forum to project strength. Instead, Ukraine’s long-range strikes, battlefield pressure, allied deals, and even uncomfortable signals from Belarus turned the week into another reminder that Russia’s problems are spreading faster than Putin can control.Ukraine’s long-range drones reached targets near St. Petersburg and Krasnodar while Russia’s supply routes, ships, aircraft, missile systems, and equipment losses came under growing pressure. The video walks through why Putin’s refusal to meet Zelensky looks less like strength, how battlefield maps can exaggerate Russian control, why the Novorossiya route is becoming more exposed, and how Sweden’s seized cargo ship case could matter for Russia’s stolen grain pipeline.The discussion also covers Lukashenko’s careful public distance from being dragged into Ukraine, Russian hardliners warning about defeat, Moscow’s language demands abroad, Armenia’s election pressure, Russia’s return to radio during internet shutdowns, Trump’s latest comments, Candace Owens at the St. Petersburg forum, the Pentagon’s counterintelligence concerns about Israel, the Ukraine aid vote controversy, and an 82nd anniversary D-Day reflection on Eisenhower, Normandy, and leadership under pressure.00:00 Putin’s Problems Keep Multiplying00:32 Ukraine’s Long-Range Strikes Hit Putin’s Prestige01:30 Ukraine’s Week of Battlefield Pressure02:33 Russia’s Gains Stall on the Map03:15 The Novorossiya Route Becomes a Military Target03:43 Putin Avoids Zelensky as Ukraine Looks Stronger04:50 Sweden Targets Russia’s Stolen Grain Pipeline05:19 Lukashenko Creates Another Problem for Putin06:34 Russian Hardliners and Allies Show Strain08:17 Russia Turns Back to Radio as the Internet Gets Risky09:00 U.S. Signals: Trump, Candace Owens, and U…
