IMPORTANT: Putin Wants You Looking in the Wrong Place

Russia launched another massive overnight attack against Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, killing civilians and damaging residential buildings. The images are dramatic, and the human cost is real. But are these attacks telling us the full story of what is happening in the war?

In this video, we examine battlefield trends, Ukrainian deep-strike campaigns, oil refinery attacks, logistics disruptions, Russian territorial gains, and why some analysts believe the Kremlin may be trying to shift attention away from increasingly troubling developments elsewhere. From British intelligence assessments to Institute for the Study of War reporting, we look at the growing gap between Russia’s narrative and battlefield realities.
