EA-Times Radio VideoCast: Ukraine Ruins Putin’s Non-Victory Day

---

I joined Ukrainian journalist Daniel Tkiie on Wednesday for a 29-minute analysis of how Ukraine has exposed Russia’s vulnerabilities, despite Moscow’s 50 1/2-month full-scale invasion.

I consider how Ukraine’s strikes deep inside Russia are damaging key infrastructure, including oil refineries, ports, terminals, and high-technology complexes. I evaluate the concern of the Kremlin, including its curbs on Victory Day ceremonies.

While highlighting the issues for Moscow, I put into perspective recent articles about security being tightened around Vladimir Putin, including claims of reduced visits outside Moscow, longer stays in a bunker, and even fears of a coup attempt.

I also look at the latest developments in the US-Israel War on Iran, and how China is gaining from the miscalculations of the Trump Administration.

As Daniel summarizes, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
