00:00my friends today we're going to talk about crimea and only crimea exclusively because ukrainians

00:05have launched a campaign that has been going on for a few months now and we do see the results

00:10the results that they claimed will be magnificent before the summer everybody thought okay this is

00:17only talk but now we see it so let's see how this campaign against crimea or isolating crimea

00:24has evolved in april june july august crimea is put his jewel it's pretty much what he sees as his

00:33life work peninsula very important to the russian war machine also bombers took off in 2022 to start

00:40this war against ukraine full-scale invasion also bombers taking off now in crimea also drones

00:45taking off from crimea so it's very important to put in militarily and also millions of russian

00:51tourists used to go there i say used to the situation is different now everybody knows the

00:56kirch bridge it is the connection to crimea again putin's baby pretty much it was damaged by the

01:03ukrainians and now the fully loaded trains cannot cross it anymore and fully loaded trucks are not

01:10allowed over it also so there had to be alternative routes to supply crimea with everything it needed

01:16so the r280 or the novasia highway was built this highway supplied crimea trucks after trucks after

01:24trucks were talking hundreds and hundreds even thousands of trucks traversing this highway supplying

01:30crimea with everything it needs militarily and civilian wise madjar closed this highway they have

01:37fire control over it they're destroying trucks for four months now and it's extremely painful for the

01:42russian so they opened up another route sea of oz of shipping lanes we're talking hundreds of ships

01:49oil ships fuel ships cargo ships going back and forth mainland russia and crimea this campaign pretty much

01:56started with its aggressive phase in april this year 2026 we can hear see it's crazy footage i know but

02:04we can see budanov yes the budanov jumping off of one of the uh poiko towers this is one of

02:12the towers

02:12you can see it's written here crimea one it's a gas production gas drilling tower between crimea and

02:21odessa pretty much and budanov being such a high intelligence officer jumping off that it's pretty much

02:26a huge middle finger to putin saying that we can do that we have fire control over this area of

02:33the sea

02:34control these towers by the way after this video russian sent drones to this tower this is budanov

02:41literally laughing in russian's intelligence faces you're not supposed to do that if you're a man in

02:47a position like budanov was at this point but he did this signaled of what the ukrainian's plan was

02:52that they're not afraid of the russians coming from crimea and they're going to fire isolate the peninsula

02:57so i mentioned the second route to crimea logistics route sea of oz of shipping let's see how this is

03:04doing with the date of august the 8th it's a perfect video there are tons of videos but i chose

03:09this

03:09one because it shows you that russians are not able to protect their fleet their shadow fleet on the

03:15sea of ozov so this is one of the ukrainian drones hunting one of the russian shadow fleet ships on

03:20the

03:20sea of ozov and you can see from the coastline points it s air defense system the most numerous

03:26production of russian air defense systems shooting out a rocket anti-drone rockets or missiles sorry

03:34to take down this drone and it misses of course it does but this will not be the only attempt

03:39we can

03:39see a second attempt by the same system shooting down as shooting out a second missile which tries

03:46to take down this drone and it misses again this is no small thing this signifies that russians cannot

03:53protect their fleet they have hundreds if not thousands of these systems literally all close

03:58across the coastline also around moscow but they cannot hit smaller ukrainian drones this is the

04:04ship that the drone is going to hit by the way and we have even a third missile coming from

04:11the same

04:11system and it missed again three missiles ukrainians have mastered the drone technology or the size of the

04:19combination of those two that the russians cannot shoot down with their pint series systems we have

04:24some few videos of pint series taking down ukrainian drones over moscow for example but the majority of

04:31them they cannot hit so this number up here is what madyar always puts on his videos of these drones

04:37taking out the ships this number does mean the number of ships they have hit this the 207th ship

04:45they have hit ever since 7th of june on the sea of ozov 200 ships you can pretty much say

04:52that ukrainians

04:53do control or fire control the sea of ozov taking away the second logistical route that i mentioned

04:58first one carriage bridge doesn't work no more than the sea of ozov than the r20 highway the trucks

05:05how are the trucks doing if the ships don't supply crimea the trucks might this is the highway by the

05:12way you can see the dot line right here going through mariopol then melitopol and then into

05:17northern crimea through numerous bridges that existed here i say existed in the past tense

05:23there are a ton of videos about this highway but again i chose two for you to see because

05:28they're very late ones 9th of august this was yesterday massive amount of trucks going daily on

05:34this highway and ukrainians strike them at their will this is one of the truck drivers speaking

05:39they hit a car right in front of us literally

05:44and look how many trucks are in the traffic jam now

05:49it's burning we can't get through

05:54look guys they're hauling right through the fire

05:58by the way all of these drivers are demanding many times more pay than they would demand elsewhere

06:04because this is a very dangerous zone and there will be struck also insurance doesn't really want to

06:08cover these trucks because they tend to burn because of ukrainian drones so whoever ships

06:13anything to crimea through the r280 highway the r280 highway will have to pay massive wages to the

06:19drivers and insane insurance prices if anyone insures at all so it's very dangerous and it's not easy to

06:26find a shipping company that does that since it puts their assets in danger talking about the trucks

06:30so supplying crimea through this it is possible but it's very costly you will lose some trucks and the

06:37wages are insane

06:40one of them burned 10 of them got through you can see this convoy

06:45passed pretty great but some other convoys are not so lucky i have a convoy from august the 6th and

06:51they go daily by the way every day 10 15 trucks like that are taken out and from this convoy

06:57three

06:58trucks were taken out ukrainian drone smack in the middle of the frontal cabin and that's it the truck burns

07:05usually to the ground others continue that's just the price russia is willing to play pay pay to

07:12supply crimea and it is bleeding them dry it literally is the strain on logistics is so high

07:20the cost is so high and still it doesn't have have the desired effect there was one more small relief

07:27route before we go to the effect which crimea has now because of the deficit there was one more

07:33route that russians were using that was the kerch strait ferry crossing so the bridge cannot handle

07:39heavy loads anymore we're talking trains and filled trucks cannot handle passenger cars so there was the

07:44ferry crossing on the kerch strait quite close to the bridge you can see the ferries they kind of looked

07:49like regular ferries anywhere you can see them in july in addition to ukrainians striking the sea of

07:56oz of hundreds of ships as we saw they took out five ferries three of them were critically damaged

08:02and can no longer perform logistics missions the two remaining vessels lavrenti and benagia are now

08:08being used as unpowered barges with tarts the crossing remains one of the few relative safe routes for

08:14supplying fuel to occupy crimea so this means the ferries themselves don't have power anymore the

08:20engines don't work but they can use talk boats to still use them as barges carrying fuel trucks as you

08:25can see right here on the satellite photo they load these trucks on top of the ferry and just tug

08:30it

08:31across it still works this can and will be shot down by the ukrainians and it's also heavily overloaded

08:39since out of five ferries only two work all of this combined the few trucks that get through the r280

08:44highway some of the ships that get through the sea of azov and these two ferries combined cannot

08:51supply crimea we go back a little we go to the 16th of july because this was the very first

08:57time

08:57the governor of russian occupied crimea admitted the situation before that it was all lies lies on

09:04his telegram channel that it will be fine there were you know there were deficits of gasoline there were

09:09power outages no water and he was like it's gonna be fine don't worry we're dealing with it on

09:1416th of july this is the message he posted and things have gone downhill from there right

09:19regarding fuel unfortunately there will be no guaranteed daily sales of petrol at petrol stations

09:26that means we cannot draw up exact schedules yet so the strain will continue for some time

09:32as for electricity it is currently impossible to create a schedule that would distribute electricity

09:38evenly across the republic of crimea because ukrainians in addition to everything i mentioned have been

09:43systematically attacking every last substation they can find even the smallest 110 kilowatt substations

09:51they have been striking them with drones they have been striking power stations and everything

09:56connected to the electrical grid and if you look at the satellite image you can see it's like north and

10:00south korea from the space one is dark one is not one year ago crimea with booming with light from

10:07space

10:07because it was the tourist destination of all of russia now it is dark at night so this campaign of

10:13the

10:14ukrainians has really worked as i have already said once the crisis is over and the goals set by the

10:19head

10:19of state are achieved pretty much talking about taking all of ukraine if that is achieved i will fully

10:26explain every specific situation and outline the reasoning behind the decisions made yada yada yada political talk

10:33there are currently no fair schedules that would meet the needs of the people across the regions

10:37and there won't be any fair ones in the near future i will say that right now russians are kind

10:43of used to

10:44their politicians and leaders you know lying to them that everything is okay while they see outside

10:48burning when the governor of occupy crimea speaks that things are not okay and you will not get fuel

10:55water or electricity that's when russians started to leave crimea by the tens of thousands that's when they

11:01started to sell their apartments that's when they started to cancel their trips to crimea for example

11:07one of the tens of videos i give you this woman because she gives it to us very short we

11:12urgently need

11:13to sell our apartment in yalta yes the yalta where the yalta conference happened pretty much betraying

11:19half of europe giving them to the communists maybe someone is interested because we have a really great

11:24location we're only one minute from the markets one minute from the bus stop the sea is very close

11:30there is all infrastructure you need and there's private yard where you can set up a barbecue grill

11:36so everything is perfect why you sell it does not mention the drones she does not mention the power

11:42outages the water lack of water the insane expensive prices of gasoline if there is any she does not

11:49mention the fear that you have when you live there because strong explosions happen every night i'm talking

11:56about the barbecue grill in your backyard you don't really need that as an amnesty you can just move

12:01into any apartment in crimea and have these barbecue fires for free given to you by the ukrainian state

12:07and their drones burning russian assets there is also utility room sort of like a garage where you

12:13could install electricity and turn it into a great studio if there was any electricity you could do that she

12:20doesn't mention that my friends crimea is a paradise it's a paradise island pretty much if there's no war

12:27so the only reason you are selling this paradise island apartment because real estate was really

12:33wanted there for the last 10 years among the russians the only reason you're selling things have to be

12:38really really bad anyway guys maybe someone knows someone who is interested because of course we're going

12:44to start looking for a realtor now but we wanted to put out a call maybe someone would like to

12:48buy

12:49an apartment things have worked out in such a way that we urgently need to sell our apartment here

12:55pretty much tells you the story if you know the context of this there are tens if not hundreds of

12:59russians selling their real estate in crimea by the way who are they selling to if you buy anything

13:06also in russia they are a capitalist country you do that always through a mortgage or bank loan that's how

13:12people buy their homes anywhere pretty much well in russia this woman has a question вопрос they're

13:20asking a representative of alpha bank one of the biggest if not the biggest bank in russia is crimea

13:27ours is crimea is it ours russian and the bank representative freezes up and starts giving her

13:35bullshit because alpha bank does not give you a mortgage or loan to buy assets in crimea they

13:42don't recognize crimea as russian or even if they do on words they don't want to invest any kind of

13:47money there or have any kind of risk there meaning they don't trust putin and russian government enough

13:52to keep crimea safe and if russian banks don't do that also i was talking in the previous video about

13:58ozon the second largest shipping company in russia who does not deliver to crimea not recognizing it as

14:05part of russia they do politically but not in their deeds and actions so russian companies don't

14:11want anything to do with crimea because it loses their money because ukrainians have a fire control

14:16over them trans can burn their assets there meaning putin cannot keep the peninsula safe meaning he cannot

14:24force the russian companies to invest in their meaning it will be a desert without investment money

14:29crimea will be a desert it's a very hot peninsula you need infrastructure for running water for

14:34fields for anything to be not desert it kind of needs constant flow of money which has now stopped

14:41because companies don't trust putin to keep it safe i'll give you an example you already saw the

14:46ferry crossing ukrainians hit it well 16th of july the most defended areas in crimea and there are many

14:53russian airfields there are quite few of them in crimea it's a very militarized peninsula ukrainian drones

15:0116th of july flew in found an su-24 just plane destroyed it just like that on the ground no

15:11russian

15:11air defense system could stop them they just blew it up i know it's just one plane you see many

15:15of

15:15ukrainian drones hitting planes but this is crimea this is putin's pride and jewel and in crimea the

15:21most defended areas ports and airfields and ukrainian drones are destroying planes on these airfields and

15:28or destroying ships on these ports or no russian company wants to have anything to do with their

15:33money going to crimea which means people will move out by the way what i haven't mentioned is that

15:39crimea among hundreds of thousands of russians that came in the last 10 years with putin's blessing

15:45crimea still has their local population who lived there under the good old ukrainian times they still

15:52do live there i bring to you one of the occupants a russian woman venting that there are these

15:59traitors living among them she's traitors who were there before with their homes check it out it only

16:05took seconds and minutes and the last thing i wanted to say is that we've got sleeper agents here who

16:12deliberately shine lights from all these buildings right here over there over there so the drones fly

16:20toward their light i was effing shocked by this absolute scum of course so these russians go

16:27into an occupied land and they're angry that the people who lived there before are waiting for the

16:33government to liberate them from this scum of the russians woman cannot understand why they don't want

16:39them there this woman is living in complete illusions she doesn't get the picture at all that these people

16:45these ukrainian people or tatar people actually who have been living on this peninsula for centuries

16:51don't want the russians there they drove up here in cars flashed signals where the drone should fly

16:59they flashed the drone from the nine-story block telling it where to fly anyway guys there are plenty of

17:05traitors and i live among these traitors it's just revolting absolute scum and she says now this next thing

17:13that i always wanted to say to every russian living in estonia every russian in latvia lithuania poland and

17:19ukraine and in crimea this is what i want to say to them with my purest intention in heart check

17:24it out

17:25if you don't want to live here leave for god's sake she took the words right out of my mouth

17:31no one is keeping you here why the f are you putting people in danger it's terrifying we're living among

17:38traitors well if she doesn't like it she can always leave so what is the outcome of all of these

17:44logistics routes being hit by ukrainian drones we talked about the hits now let's talk about the

17:50outcomes this woman is filming the reality no electricity for 13 days already this means your

17:58freeze and freezer will go warm every food meat milk products will go bad you cannot buy food and keep

18:05it you have to buy and eat it immediately you gotta get water from rain water if there is rain

18:09in the

18:09summer sometimes for a long period of time there is no rain some apartments uh the water works with

18:16electricity so no electricity means no water you want to make coffee you gotta make it the old way

18:22physically smashing the beans you want to charge your phone you gotta go to one of the gas stations or

18:27stores that still has a huge generator and charge it there and you can buy generators straight at the back

18:34of trucks which the reseller sell at massive prices so the situation is turning quite hopeless for the

18:42civilians this woman is telling us that you know she needs to wash her hair in a sink i don't

18:48know why

18:48but in a sink and she needs to dry it out on the sun for me and as a man

18:53of course i cannot really

18:54understand this being a pain since i don't really care about this stuff but for a russian woman i guess

19:00this is a pain also she needs to make food on one of these stoves that has a gas balloon

19:05in it

19:06i have the exact same stove millions of ukrainians have these kind of stoves you can buy the gas

19:11balloons she has to collect water when there is water at one or two days she has to fill up

19:16everything

19:17she can and they have to warm up some food in the fireplace so they're pretty much in the same

19:22situation as ukrainians have been for the last four years i think it is good because they can go

19:28crimea is not their homeland ukraine is ukrainians homeland majority of them won't cannot and won't

19:35leave russians can leave crimea it is only their second apartment there other aspect other symptom

19:42of ukrainians choking this logistics routes is the lack of gasoline which means that gasoline will be

19:48diluted with water and russian government approved the lower grade gasoline to be sold which now destroys

19:55cars engines also leaves these marks on the cars meaning there's something in it that reacts with

20:01the paint it's horrible it destroys hundreds of cars and destroys the paint job people bring them in and

20:07this is one of the workers of the car shops and says that there are so many clients with with

20:13needing

20:13paint jobs now and the engines have seized up because the newer modern cars they cannot handle that older

20:19fuel they cannot the fuel standard has to be really high or the engine will seize up and finally the

20:25beaches you go to crimea you get to one of the beaches no electricity no war okay at least here

20:31you're in the paradise and this is what you see dragon's teeth in some of the beaches there are literal

20:37trenches on the beach that you have to cross to go to the water this is not a holiday vibe

20:44this is uh

20:44we're gonna be invaded very soon vibe and this is what they see a lot of businesses in crimea work

20:51by

20:51millions of russians being tourists there if their tourists don't come the businesses will go bankrupt

20:58if the beaches are like that there's no water no electricity you can see what happens to the business

21:03and the money and even they will leave everybody will leave this peninsula is being choked ukrainians

21:09are not able i i have to say this not able to put boots on the ground in crimea people

21:13think that

21:14then they don't know the reality reality is that ukrainians cannot do that since they don't have

21:19that ability in any way right now they're doing what they can is making the occupation of this

21:25peninsula as costly and painful and expensive as possible for the russians and ukrainians are doing

21:31that beautifully this was it my friends for today i will be back for you every monday wednesday and friday
