Even Putin’s Own War Bloggers Are Mocking Him

Even Putin’s Own War Bloggers Are Mocking Him

Russia's Oreshnik missile was supposed to demonstrate power. Instead, Vladimir Putin's explanation of a recent launch triggered a wave of criticism from Russia's own military bloggers. After months of hype surrounding the missile, Putin publicly stated that one strike targeted garages because Russian forces wanted to observe how the warheads landed. That explanation contradicted earlier claims that major military facilities had been struck and left many pro-war commentators asking uncomfortable questions. In this video, we examine Putin's comments, the reaction across Russian Telegram channels, the growing skepticism among military bloggers, and what the Oreshnik has actually accomplished on the battlefield. The result is one of the most unusual information battles we've seen in months: Kremlin supporters openly challenging a Kremlin narrative.

Russia Got Hit Hard Last Night

Russia woke up to fires, explosions, and drone strikes across multiple regions overnight. In this update, we examine reports from St. Petersburg, Kronstadt, Mariupol, Tyumen, Rostov, and Krasnodar as Ukraine appears to have conducted one of its most geographically expansive strike campaigns to date. We look at the targets that were hit, why oil infrastructure remains critical, how Russia may be adjusting its missile strategy, and what new drone technologies could mean for the future of the war. We also review the latest battlefield developments, logistics disruptions, prisoner exchanges, and other key developments shaping the conflict.

Russia Just Rejected the Off-Ramp — And Raised the Stakes

Putin admitted that Russia used the Arishnik missile not as a decisive battlefield weapon, but to hit a shed or garage area where the results would be easy to observe. That explanation undercut the earlier propaganda that framed the strike as retaliation for Starobilsk, secret NATO facilities, underground bases, or major Ukrainian military targets. The transcript follows Putin's own words, the damage site near Bila Tserkva, the cost and performance questions around a missile reported at roughly $40-50 million, and the reaction from Russian milbloggers who mocked the claim, questioned the logic, and pointed out that the weapon has produced no clear operational effect. The video closes with the reaction shot of a Russian official listening as Putin tries to explain that the misses and shed strike were planned down to the millimeter.

Putin’s Answer Raises More Questions Than Answers

Zelensky published an open letter calling for a direct meeting with Putin and arguing that the war is Putin's personal choice, not a product of NATO, language, or geopolitics. Russia's response moved through Peskov's claim that Zelensky could come to Moscow, TASS collecting dismissive reactions that called the letter a PR stunt or a plea for peace, and Putin saying he saw no point in meeting unless there were agreements with a long-term historical perspective. The video also covers Putin's St. Petersburg Economic Forum comments about relocating state companies out of Moscow, his claims about Russia's economy compared with Europe, the COVID testing required to hear his speech, Russian state-media contrasts, Putin's wildly inflated claim about captured Ukrainian territory, Kuleba's explanation that Zelensky's letter was aimed at Putin, Ukrainians, Trump, and Europe, the return of 185 Ukrainian defenders from Russian captivity, and Nexda's closing commentary on what Russia's war has actually achieved.

Ukraine Just Made the Sea of Azov Unsafe for Russia

Ukraine struck five vessels in the Sea of Azov near Taganrog Bay, including a tanker and cargo ships linked to stolen Ukrainian goods, military cargo, and fuel transport. The strikes followed a pattern that began with pressure on Russia's land corridor, moved into Crimea and the Kerch Bridge area, and now reaches seaborne logistics in the Azov Sea. The video also covers an oil depot strike in occupied Luhansk, the shutdown of the Dzhankoi railway station, Ukraine's goal of developing ballistic missiles that can threaten Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia's latest drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, civilian deaths at a Kyiv Oblast food plant and in Zaporizhzhia, delayed Iskander submunitions targeting rescuers, Ukraine's May interception rates, Russia's missile production limits, battlefield losses, possible Russian mobilization, poor-quality Russian FPV drones, decoy vehicles, and Ukrainian para arm wrestlers refusing to stand for the Russian anthem.
