Ukraine Daily Update | Day 714
Video Summary
It’s day 714 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and another day of terror as Russian missiles struck the country, with 44 out of 64 air strikes intercepted. The Russian missile strike caused a fire in a multi-story residential building in Kev, with four Ukrainian civilians reported dead. The Russian military has claimed to have destroyed NATO targets, but this is often proven to be false.
The West has cut off most Russian propaganda channels, including Russia Today, to combat disinformation. In response, Putin has invited American RT host Tucker Carlson to translate his message to the Western audience. This is a clear attempt to brainwash Western societies. Notably, no Western media has been allowed to interview Putin, with the chief editor of the BBC in Russia stating that his requests to interview Putin have been denied for 18 months.
Despite this, Carlson will be conducting an interview with Putin, which will be broadcast in support of Russian propaganda. This is a manipulative and biased attempt to sway Western opinion. Putin has also restricted Russian opposition media from interviewing him, with some voices of dissent already silenced or forced into exile.
On a more positive note, a recent hack by the group Prana Network exposed the Iranian company involved in supplying Russia with Shahed drones. The cost of each drone ranges from $193,000 to $290,000, with Russia paying approximately $1.8 billion in sanctioned Russian gold. This information is publicly available online. Finally, Ukrainian forces have made significant gains in the fight against Russian forces, with drones continuing to play a crucial role in the conflict.
