Description:
Alexander Mercouris reports live from Russia as Vladimir Putin meets frontline soldiers on Russia Day, signaling a decisive shift from diplomat to warlord and revealing that Russia's Rasvet satellite system, its answer to Starlink, is nearly operational and could transform the battlefield before year's end.
The Duran's analysis covers the accelerating collapse of Ukrainian defenses in Constantinovka confirmed by Ukrainian sources, Putin's uncompromising stance toward the collective West, and explosive intelligence suggesting the US may be secretly manipulating oil markets to engineer a financial trap targeting China and the BRICS payment system. Is Russia on the verge of a breakthrough that Western media refuses to acknowledge, and could a manufactured oil price shock reshape the global economy before anyone sees it coming?
