Putin's Desperate Peace Trap: Russia's Crisis Exposed - Jason Jay Smart



On the eve of peace talks in Istanbul, Ukraine has executed significant precision drone strikes within Russia- srategically severing Russia’s final rail supply line to Crimea. This in-depth breakdown analyzes how targeting Rostov’s logistics and power infrastructure aligns with Ukraine’s evolving targeting doctrine, Russia's struggle to maintain occupation, and new fronts that may soon open to change the war.

Chapters:
0:00 - Are we on the verge of a paradigm shift?
1:50 - Ukraine's attacks on Russia today.
7:43 - Will Azerbaijan and Turkey open a new front against Russia?
11:44 - What does Russia really want in peace talks?

This video deconstructs:
• The tactical significance of cutting the Southern Military District’s vital arteries
• How recent strikes at Kamenolomni and cyberattacks in Crimea complement this operation
• Shockwaves rippling through Russian command as Moscow rushes to resume talks under duress
• Implications for Russian internal cohesion, negotiated outcomes, and Crimea’s future
