Russia Just Got Terrible News

Video Summary

Russia’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for 162 days, with the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Herson region being a major topic of interest. Meanwhile, the price of crude oil has fallen significantly, reaching a level of $88 per barrel, which is bad news for Russia’s economy. Russia’s dependence on oil revenue is crucial for funding its government and military, and a low price of oil could bankrupt the country. Central banks around the world are raising interest rates to combat inflation, which is bringing down the price of oil. This trend is likely to continue, with experts predicting that the price of oil will fall below $60 per barrel by the end of the year, making it increasingly difficult for Russia to continue funding its war efforts.

Ukraine is also planning a counter-offensive in the Herson region, with leaflets being distributed to civilians in the city, urging them to prepare for the liberation of their city. Meanwhile, the Russian military is struggling to hold onto the city, with soldiers from ethnic minority groups being pushed to the front lines. Russia’s treatment of its own wounded veterans has also been met with outrage, with one soldier who lost his legs being brutally treated by a bus driver.

In other news, Ukraine has successfully taken down a bot farm that was spreading disinformation within Russia, and the West has finally sanctioned Vladimir Putin’s girlfriend, a former Olympic gymnast. The Russian military is also being pushed back by Ukraine’s military, with videos showing Russian soldiers being driven out of buildings and homes. Public opinion in Ukraine is strong, with 73% of Ukrainians believing that their country is moving in the right direction despite the war and economic challenges.
