'Revenge strike' as Ukraine hits major Moscow oil refinery | Russia-Ukraine latest war news
Video Overview & Insights
Is a breakthrough imminent?
Thumbs down for playing the orange buffoon. Just report what the idiot says
Today, as Donald Trump tells the G7 summit that “Russia should make a deal”, we examine what this apparent shift in tone from the US president could mean for Ukraine, and what President Volodymyr Zelensky can realistically hope to achieve from this crucial gathering – perhaps even a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin. We also ask how Ukrainian drones continue to penetrate Moscow’s formidable air defences, after another strike reportedly hit a Russian oil refinery and disrupted operations at airports across the capital. We report on allegations that a Russian diplomat was involved in an arson attack targeting the home of Britain’s Prime Minister, and later speak to the independent journalist leading an investigation into an Irish manufacturing plant accused of supplying components that may be helping to sustain Putin’s war machine.

Welp, I'd rather stand with Ukraine "for as long as it takes" than do what Trump has done and not stand with them at all. As an American, I want us to send our military to liberate Crimea. Nor that there's any appetite for such an operation.

According to this 🤡, they’re Ukrainian drones, right? 🤔 Since the war began, they’ve received hundreds of billions of dollars in aid, they’re getting weapons from 35 countries, they have the backing of NATO, the CIA and MI6 for all things intelligence-related, they’re using the Starlink system, and now all the drones are made in Europe. And despite all that, there are still 🤡 claiming that this is a war between Ukraine and Russia.

RUSAL name is kind of self explanatory, Russian Aluminum. This place needs to be shut down or sanctioned with the Russian shipment being seized. Now!

There is a worldwide shortage of effective missile defense systems now , exacerbated by the useless war in Iran, Zelenskyy’s idea to produce more Patriots in Ukraine would be helpful to the US & their allies as well.

The Russian mindset is baffling. Their goal seems to be to destabilize civilization at any cost, even to the point of their own demise.
The Muslim goal (supported by many governments) is clear: to eliminate Christian values by any means, including murder and terror.
Which enemy is the greater danger?

do we have to intercept Irish ships now...?
@camiloclarkson1122its always the countries with glass ceilings (Spain, Ireland ) telling others how to they should be better
@llevith"Reported"... good job reading that without choking on it.
@qedcats867Russia has nationalized several Danish owned compagnies in Rusia without compensation. DO THE SAME.
@UllaMøldrup-y3g30m 05s "RusAl"? Russian owned? The clue's in the name isn't it?
Edit: I think I'd like to hear more about these threats he's had, and also does he have more than circumstantial evidence of corruption?
Full disc., I'm British but have (British-born) relatives who moved there in the 70s. One dabbled a bit in local politics, got elected to the town council, but chucked it in disgust because it was all corruption, jobs for the boys, brown envelopes etc.
Burn baby burn 🔥
@niftynige22m 35s no, a "useful idiot" was / is something different; someone in a position of authority in a western democracy, eg senior in a trade union, a journalist, influential academic, politicians, etc, who supported the USSR not because they were secret agents knowingly working for Russia, but just because they were idiots. I think Stalin coined the phrase didn't he?
@imipak23Russia out of all of Ukraine!
@ssesf11m 20s BORING! Sorry, but it really is.
@imipak23WHY REMIND US BRAZILIANS OF THE 7x1 ??????? At least put a trigger warning!!!!
@ricardocimaClose down every export route to Moscow, the company will find other buyers
@thomasuccGreat episode guys (as always), and thanks Caolan Robertson for joining in.
@kiwidave6I was extremely happy to see Caolan ceasing to make videos for far right-wing activists like Tommy Robinson, Lauren Southern and Alex Jones, also when he eventually left these far right activists, it must have been a dark time for him, nice to see he’s seen the light.
@meagherpaul1Thanks U T L .

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
Awesome to see Caolan on the report... get him on the team!
@CuillinEddLast comments, Dom had me Rolling 😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂
@tashuntkaPlease change that awful intro music, isn't it time to freshen it up, it's bloody awful and off-putting, however I do enjoy your coverage.
@CPPublicationsExcellent guest. And v good hosting.
@MisterColombo-t6mZelensky at G7 communicated it's all of us with Ukraine v Putin which could incline Trump to be less supportive of Putin,
@AprilPatterson-t6tI congratulate Ukrain on their success on hitting Russians oil infurstructure, but is it possible for them to strike Russian drone and munition factories?
@briansmith9926I just can't get over the fact that he's so young and brave!! I'm so proud of him! I will pray for him and his safety ❤
@abhoraratioCapitulation by the terrorist state is the only viable peace plan. Give Ukraine the support needed for the job to be finished.
@DougohereThe plant should be taken in to state ownership and nationalised ensuring all exports are not sent to Russia.
@glennmiller3278All exports to Russia from Ireland should be banned immediately
@glennmiller3278Because the Irish political regime is as corrupt as Russia.
@glennmiller3278I thought that all sorts of companies are sanctioned from doing business in Russia, not just companies that produce things that are used to produce weapons.
@drjjm1Congrats on the Award! Well-deserved
@johnsimmons2373Some people in Ireland are making money from this. Follow the money
@johnsimmons2373Sanction the Irish government
@johnsimmons2373Feels like the British could do some real pressure on this, cos, we do much of their defence.
@smoketinytomIreland are providing Ukraine aluminium, using Russia to deliver it via air mail
@VaCha6236:18 See, it’s hard for the Individual like him to get samples from the Factory and Battlefield, of course, he’s done it. Congrats, but could a shipment be seized for samples to be taken from them.
@smoketinytomSurely the recently awakened EU/UK arms industry needs this Alumina? This should be a quick one to stop. Why has it taken so long? Follow the money.
@johnsimmons237328:02 I hope Ireland does stop this… Before the Ukrainians do.
@smoketinytomDream team 💜
All the face expressions we missed in the first years of the pod !
Caolan is a legend.
@jonbaxter2254Shame on Ireland for helping support Russia’s war on Ukraine and genocide. Hosting a Russian owned manufacturing plant that is directly providing revenue and materials to Russia while that country is a recognised enemy of Europe and subject to sanctions
