Alex Christoforou | Macron Claims Russia In Retreat as G7 Preps Cover Story for Missile Strikes. MoU Blame Game Begins | June 18, 2026

Labels , , , , , , , , Source: Alex Christoforou YouTube



Description:

Alex Christoforou breaks down a chaotic 24 hours where Macron declared Russia is losing at the G7 while a record wave of drones slammed into a Moscow oil refinery. 
 
The Duran digs into why the new licensing deal letting Ukraine produce American interceptors and long range missiles looks less like real manufacturing and more like a cover story for direct NATO strikes into Russia, alongside Starmer's defense budget reshuffle and a new EU back channel to the Kremlin.

If long range missiles really do start hitting Russia, has the collective west just crossed Putin's clearest red line?
