MASSIVE FIREBALL Engulfs Russian Port of Novorossiysk… EVERYTHING is GONE

Vladimir Putin believed that he was sending a sick message by bombing churches on Good Friday.

But Ukraine just delivered the ultimate retribution in a massive unprecedented retaliation.

Ukraine forces just unleashed a historic swarm of long range drones, completely overpowering Russia’s air defenses and vaporizing the Kremlin’s most important Black Sea port.

The Russian war machine is officially bleeding out.

This attack was so extensive that Putin is now begging Western countries to stop Ukraine from attacking his oil ports.

The tables have officially turned.

And our story starts with the mistake that Putin made.

At the start of this month, Putin attacked Harkefe with Russian drones.

The attack continued for more than 24 hours and we recorded 21 strikes that happened on the city.

Russians targeted critical infrastructure, hotels, stores, apartment buildings, and even a church.

Then Putin took it a step further.

Just 2 days after the Harkefe attack, Russia attacked again.

It was Good Friday, and Russia attacked two more Orthodox Christian churches that were observing the holy day.

One was partially destroyed, as you can see from pictures on your screen, and the other one was damaged.

It’s important to point out that these aren’t new buildings.

One church was built in the 1900s, early 1900s, and the other one was built in late 1800s.

That means these churches survived World War I, World War II, Nazi occupation.

But now, Russia is trying to destroy them.

Luckily, this time, Ukraine actually had an answer.

And it was an answer that Putin wasn’t expecting.

Just last night, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack towards occupied Crimea and southern Russia.

This is critical part of Russia’s war economy.

You see, right on the Black Sea, Russia uses one of the ports to export a lot of its sanctioned oil.

And that’s exactly what Ukraine was targeting.

Take a look at this port after the attack was done.

It looks like something straight out of a movie.

This was Russia’s major Black Sea port of no risk.

It suffered one of the most intensive attacks of the war so far.

Russian air defenses failed so badly that even Russian supporters of the war are now calling out this failure.

This is something we’ll talk about in just a second.

And on top of this, Russia is realizing that they cannot keep up with Ukrainian drones anymore.

This is not 2022.

Ukrainian drone innovations have far surpassed Russian capabilities and Putin is paying a heavy price for it.

You see, six of the seven oil loading stands at this terminal were damaged.

These are the stands that Russians used to load and unload tankers.

So basically it was critical infrastructure.

On top of it, the attack also hit pipelines, control units, and oil monitoring stations.

A large fire has been burning throughout the port.

That means we’re not going to know the full extent of the damage until that fire is out.

Here’s the full breakdown of exactly why this attack was such a big deal.

You see, Russia has three main locations for exporting oil and oil products westward.

Two of them Primokes and Utsluga are in the Baltic Sea, so north of Russia near St.

Petersburg.

And the last one is in Nova Risk, so south of Russia on the Black Sea port.

These three locations handle roughly 60% of all of Russian oil exports.

And in the last 2 weeks, Ukraine has successfully struck all three of those.

Nothing is more strategic for Russia’s economy than these ports, and that means they’re heavily protected.

But despite that, in the last two weeks, Ukrainian forces have broke through Russian defenses at least seven times.

That means an attack every other day.

Russian economy just cannot function with this type of bombardment on critical infrastructure.

And even saying critical infrastructure, I feel like understates the importance of these ports.

And the reason this is happening is because Ukraine’s ability to launch longrange strikes is now superior to Russian air defenses.

And on top of that, Ukraine is improving and adapting faster than Russia can improve and adapt.

Now, it is important to clarify the ports haven’t been destroyed completely, but according to expert assessments online, it suggests that it will take at least a year to repair some of the damage that happened in the last 2 weeks.

And based on satellite images, we can roughly calculate that 10% of total port volume is out for months and another 20 to 30% is out at least for weeks.

This all depends on how fast Russia can repair.

But this is where we also have to keep in mind that while Russia is repairing all this, Ukrainians can launch more drones and hit the port again.

So all the math we are doing is based on all the attacks that have happened now.

It doesn’t take in account any future attack that Ukraine will carry out.

And on top of all this, in the same 2 weeks period, Ukraine has also struck three major Russian oil refineries.

All this is basically disbalancing Russia’s oil production and exports, creating weakness in the system.

Meaning if Russia cannot refine oil, they cannot export it.

If Russia cannot export oil, they basically run out of storage, right? What does this all mean? Well, there’s going to come a point in this whole system where Ukraine has caused so much damage that Russia has to shut down their oil fields.

Meaning everything is either damaged or full.

Stoages are full, refineries are full, or they’re not working.

And that means Russia just cannot take in more oil into the system.

So they have to shut down the oil field or oil wells that are, you know, pumping out oil continuously.

And once you shut down an oil well, technically speaking, it’s very difficult to reopen it.

Now, I’ll be honest, I’m not an oil expert in any way.

So I don’t know the all the details, but just based on reading expert assessments online, it seems Russia really doesn’t want to shut down the oil wells.

And if Russian air defenses just continue to fail, they’re going to have to do it sometime in the future.

Now, this is where I want to share with you guys an interesting statement that President Zillinsky just put out calling out the Russian hypocrisy in front of the whole world.

Now, before we do that, just a quick reminder to hit the like and subscribe button down below.

It truly does help us out tremendously in the algorithm, especially now that the channel has been suffering a little bit for the last few weeks.

Now, let’s get on with this statement.

The problem with the Russians is that they love to talk about compromises, but they never want to make them.

They only speak the language of ultimatums.

They want us to withdraw from our territory which is under our control.

But the reason for this demand lies in their huge losses.

They think if we pull back, they won’t lose hundreds of thousands of people.

While this is true, we just cannot withdraw.

This would carry major risk for us.

Russia will gain stronger positions in Ukraine and will start prepping for further occupation.

Russians are liars and they are playing games with President Trump.

I’m 100% convinced the Russians want to fully occupy us.

That’s why we need to stop them, reach the ceasefire, make strong security guarantees, and then move it all to diplomacy.

This is exactly why Ukrainian attacks are so important.

Even if Putin doesn’t want to negotiate, he may be forced to do so if he doesn’t have a way to fund his war.

If Russia cannot benefit from high oil prices, then there’s no other scenario where Russia can survive under the sanctions.

And guess what? Despite the fact that the oil prices have gone up because of the Iran war, Russia is not really benefiting that much.

That’s not me saying it.

That’s actually coming from Russian media.

Just take a listen.

This is Russian newspapers talking about the fact that Putin’s budget hasn’t really improved despite oil prices now being over $100 a barrel.

Well, high oil prices sparked by the Iran war haven’t boosted the Russian economy yet.

According to today’s commerce, the headline, pro dollars in transit, the budget has yet to feel the benefit from war in the Middle East.

In March 2026, oil and gas revenues of the federal budget were down 43% on the same period last year, according to data published by the Ministry of Finance.

The reason for the failure of fee collection despite high oil prices is that in March companies paid taxes based on the February estimated price of Euro’s oil of $44.

6 a barrel.

March’s $77 a barrel will affect revenues in April.

In the meantime, the budget continues to be in a difficult situation.

In March, another 60 billion rubles was spent from Russia’s national wealth fund on bridging the deficit.

When additional income arrives, the situation should improve.

Interesting that Muskovski Kamoritz mentions the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia’s oil export hubs at Luga and Primosk and on oil refineries and conceds a negative effect on oil export revenues.

In general, it can be said that the attacks on oil refining facilities did not pass without a trace.

On the eve of the sewing season, the government had to actually freeze petrol exports until July the 1st.

It’s clear that the euphoria over additional revenues from the rise in oil prices is absolutely unjustified.

Events demand much more modest estimates.

And guess what? because of the attacks that are happening inside Russia almost on a daily basis.

Now we’re seeing even pro-war people, basically former soldiers who were supporting the war before are now openly admitting that Russia is basically not defended.

Meaning Russian air defenses have been degraded so badly that a good portion of the country, even important infrastructure like the ports we talked about at the start of the video, are just not well defended.

That’s the reality.

Russia is running out of air defenses.

They are running out of missiles and they are running out of anything that can stop the drones and missiles.

Take a listen.

This is from a former Russian colonel.

What do we need to bear in mind? There is no longer any rear even within practically the entire country.

And therefore, for the location of all command posts and infrastructure facilities and in general to the country’s air defense system, the dispersal of material resources, completely different requirements must now be established.

Now with modern means of air attack both from the air and from the sea, practically the entire territory of the country is being targeted.

This is not an isolated incident either.

Here’s another Russian war blogger answering an honest question from his audience.

The answer to why we are missing so many drones is that we have very serious shortages of air defense missiles, especially in the pancier units.

Often vehicles are parked without ammunition.

There is no shame in speaking honestly.

In fact, it is shameful to not solve this problem.

Answers like this is exactly why Putin is trying to shut down Russian internet and shut down Telegram.

He doesn’t want people knowing exactly what’s going on and why they’re suffering because of war he launched.

In fact, Putin is cracking down so hard that Russia is turning into a dystopian society.

We are seeing dash cam clips of Russians getting stopped at a traffic stop and the cop is asking them to basically unlock their phones so he can see if they have VPNs or prohibited content on their phone.

Isn’t that insane? This is something that was not happening even a year ago or 2 years ago.

But now the war is going so horribly long, but now the war is going so horribly wrong that it is happening.

And it’s not just me saying it.

Watch the clip yourself.

Take a look.

>> Good day.

It’s police.

Can we take a look at your documents? Show your driver’s license.

>> Here it is.

We need to check your phone for prohibited content and installed VPN.

>> Dial on your phone.

Star06 hash.

We will check the phone’s imi.

What? The phone’s ei.

Repeat it again.

Star06.

Why? The phone’s imi.

to check it against databases.

Well, here it is.

Inspect it.

What nonsense are you talking? It’s not nonsense.

I’m recording all this.

Well, okay, record it.

Police officers are asking me to check something in my phone.

And what exactly is being checked? IMI.

Look, if your mobile device is lost or stolen, you will come to the police station.

You will write the statement and indicate the IMEI in it, which is the first one here.

Accordingly, it is added to the databases and when a check is performed, we will just verify the data.

Honestly, it’s a somewhat doubtful concern.

>> Did I explain you how it works? >> I am not obligated though.

Let’s be honest.

You can inspect it like this.

I can unlock it and you will look.

>> Actually, you are obligated.

Don’t be a smartass here.

>> Understood.

I guess that’s what the country turns into when air defenses run out.

And the worst part is even the air defenses that Russia does have aren’t really working properly.

Last night during the Ukrainian attack, a Russian air defense missile accidentally hit a residential building instead of a Ukrainian drone.

And we have it on camera.

Take a look.

So now that Putin knows that he cannot stop Ukrainian drones, Russia is now calling on Western countries to convince Ukraine from stop attacking all this important oil infrastructure.

Who would have thought? Putin launches a 3-day special military operation and four years later he’s begging the West for help.

Now the reason behind could be because is Ukraine is just destroying Russia when it comes to long range drone strikes.

Here’s the big picture.

You see for first time in 4 years Ukraine actually launched more long range drones into Russian territory than Russia launched into Ukraine.

That happened in March.

Just take a look at the graph on your screen.

That rise in Ukrainian drone output is faster than anything Russia has ever achieved.

Almost all these drones are being produced locally in Ukraine by Ukrainian companies.

That’s a huge advantage for the Ukrainian government because that way Ukraine doesn’t have to ask permission from other countries to decide what they can strike and what they cannot strike.

They can just go make the decision and launch the drone and decide to go after whatever puts the most pressure on Russia.

That’s why in March we actually saw Ukraine start hitting ports in St.

Petersburg, the Baltic Sea, and even in the Black Sea.

In fact, if you look at all the data that Russia itself releases, we can see the long range strikes actually increased drastically in the month of March and that’s using Russian data.

Imagine Russia doesn’t have an incentive to make Ukraine look good.

In fact, they have an opposite incentive.

So, if Russian data is showing us this, imagine what the truth is.

This is exactly why Russians are now openly talking about the real losses of this war.

They are realizing that it’s not going according to plan and that should be expected.

No country and I really mean no country can come out ahead after years of prolonged war.

By its very nature, a prolonged war is something country did not plan for.

And that means Russians are now feeling the pain for a war that Putin started and they’re now speaking about it publicly.

Take a listen.

>> Let me clarify regarding the real losses in this war.

There was a report presented at Kletchka.

How many people were mobilized last year? This year? well over 400,000.

More precisely, they signed contracts.

The situation is such that military units are now being formed, including from the strategic missile forces and rifle regiments are being formed from the 12th main directorate and so on.

The 12th main directorate is responsible for the storage of nuclear weapons.

Let me remind you that for example there was an instruction from the president to address issues related to missing persons by April 1st meaning assistance documentation organizing searches and so on.

Nothing has been done.

Why? Because for many officials this would be a serious blow.

This speaks to the real ratio of losses and the actual cost at which their successes were achieved.

The true price of these achievements.

We still do not have a unified personnel registry.

I’m not talking about payments, although there are many issues there as well, but about a system where you can clearly track when a person signed a contract, where they trained, for how many days, which unit they were in, when they went missing, and so on.

Did he go missing? Or are there still no records about him? Yet, he is still counted as an active soldier, and someone is receiving money for him.

For example, the commander of the 128th separate motorized rifle brigade, Vladislav Nikifurov, is allegedly involved in such schemes, receiving money for fallen soldiers.

He shares it with higher command, and everyone is satisfied.

Now, to understand why Iran is behaving the way it’s behaving right now, we have to go back and look at how Iran got to where it is today.

That doesn’t just mean going back to 1979 when the Islamic Revolution took place.

In fact, we have to go further back to when the Kger dynasty was ruling Iran in the 19th century and look at how the decisions the ruling class made back then still affects Iran to this very day.

Well, guess what? That’s exactly what we’re doing in our multi-part podcast that just came out today.

So, if you’re someone who is interested in the history of Iran and how we got to where we are today, definitely go check it out.
