Ukraine's New Strategy is Quickly Breaking Russia - Paul Warburg
Russia is quickly losing its ability to fund the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is systematically taking Russia's oil and gas export capacity offline, and the UK and France are stepping up to the plate. While there's much talk of how Russia will benefit from the Iran War, from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the easing of sanctions, the truth is that Russia's export capacity is currently down by 40% - and that's getting worse. In this video I talk about Ukraine's strikes on export terminals in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, about new sanctions enforcement and the boarding of shadow fleet tankers, and how shadow fleet tankers are now being targeted by drones. It's a new era of the war in Ukraine - and it's very important that we pay attention.
