Description:
Russia's Black Sea blockade has quietly expanded into the territorial waters of Romania and Bulgaria, with sea drones sinking cargo ships bound for Ukraine near Constanta and Varna while NATO stays silent. Alexander breaks down the strikes on the Dnipro bridge and railway station, the Starlink feud between Elon Musk and the US intelligence community, the 500 PAC 3 interceptors Ukraine will not see until 2030, and Lavrov's sharp exchange at the G20 in Atlanta. Has the Black Sea become a Russian lake while the West looks the other way?
