Description:
Russia has just launched what may be its biggest mega strike of the entire conflict, hitting five major power plants and crippling Ukraine's energy grid as winter approaches. Alexander breaks down the Geran 5 drone now flying at 1,000 kilometers an hour, analyst Ben Aris's case that Russia now outproduces America and the conflict has reached its endgame, Azov's sudden disappearance from the Donbass after the Kiev detention scandal, and Vladimir Medinsky's hardline mission at the Abu Dhabi talks. With the Dnieper bridges next in line, is Ukraine's army in the east running out of time?
