48 Hours of Chaos... The UNTHINKABLE Just Happened in St. Petersburg

While Vladimir Putin hosted high-level talks in Moscow, a 48-hour Ukrainian strike wave rocked strategic targets stretching from his hometown of St. Petersburg deep into Siberia. From setting the massive Ust-Luga Baltic oil port ablaze, hitting the Naro-Fominsk missile corvette near Finland, and assassinating Air Force Colonel Dmitry Lobodin, to striking the Omsk refinery 2,500 km away with $50,000 FP-1 drones and triggering Russian friendly fire against three of its own helicopters, roughly a third of Russia’s refining capacity now sits offline.
