Putin's Digital Empire Crashes - Blackouts Hit 60 Russian Regions - Jason Jay Smart



Network outages are spreading over 60 regions, payments are freezing, and the Kremlin’s grip on control is slipping. But this isn’t only coming from Ukraine, it’s a meltdown from within. Vladimir Putin does nothing as Russia’s digital infrastructure disintegrates.

Cities across Russia are grinding to a halt. A Ukrainian drone crippled the Penza radio plant, severing military communications. Meanwhile, natural disasters, earthquakes and volcanic activity, now threaten Vilyuchinsk, Russia’s only Pacific nuclear submarine base - putting into question the Russian nuclear deterrence.

As the chaos deepens, Trump’s new tariffs are forcing Russia’s few remaining allies to choose: stand with Putin, or save their own economies.
The Kremlin’s only response? More censorship. No strategy. No solutions.
The last time Russia collapsed, it was peacetime. This is wartime.

So, is this just a digital crisis, or the beginning of strategic collapse?

And, as the disorder spreads - will someone step in to end the Putin regime?

This video investigates:
• Digital blackout across 60 regions
• Ukraine’s strike on Penza radio plant
• Kamchatka quakes and tsunami threatening Vilyuchinsk
• Economic isolation as partners abandon Russia
• Why the Kremlin can’t fix what’s breaking from within
