Putin's Army Generals Scramble & Flee as Drones Strike - Jason Jay Smart

Ukraine is dismantling Russia’s war machine, striking command hubs and the fuel that powers its invasion. Ukrainian drones have launched an attack on the Southern Military District HQ in Rostov-on-Don and hit a LUKOIL refinery, proving Ukraine can target critical assets deep inside Russian territory.

Since January 2024, Ukraine has struck at least 61 refineries, depots, and pumping stations, causing over $10 billion in damage and crippling Russia’s refining capacity. Each hit forces the Kremlin to choose between defending the front lines or protecting vital infrastructure at home.

With the military weakening and the economy collapsing, Putin’s planned meeting with Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, is not a show of power but a plea for relief. The Kremlin’s fractures are widening, and Ukraine is rewriting the war’s narrative, proving that Putin’s grip is far weaker than it appears.
