I saw a quote in The Guardian from a man who was ninety three years old who was simply talking about how, you know, disturbing it is for him to have, you know, obviously lived through World War Two and the original rise of Nazism. voice-verified

And to now see sort of a a return to that. voice-verified

It's very scary. voice-verified

No, it's fair to say what's happening between Russia and Ukraine is a war. voice-verified

You know, that that two sides with two armies, you know, voice-verified

you know, rightly or wrongly or whatever way you look at it, both killing each other using armies, which I think is voice-verified

It's a different thing, you know? voice-verified

Yeah, it was a massive attack and it was it was scheduled to coincide with Russian parliamentary elections. voice-verified

These are the first Russian parliamentary elections since the war actually began in early twenty twenty two. voice-verified

So four hundred and fifty of those sixteen hundred drones were aimed directly at the Capitol. voice-verified

Um, you know, there's footage of apartment buildings being destroyed, three people were killed, um, drones were also sent to attack an oil refinery, which is that's a really a big part of of Vladimir Zelensky's voice-verified

strategy in terms of these long range attacks against Russia is to try to cripple them on an energy level, which is obviously something we've seen, you know, with the US and Iran, that the supply of energy is really crucial to, I suppose, just the functioning of of the world at large. voice-verified

So if you can cause problems for a country's energy supply, then that's obviously going to to give you some kind of advantage. voice-verified

Uh I think the timing of it was also very significant for it to fall uh, you know, to coincide with the voice-verified

Parliamentary elections, I think probably most of us are aware that parliamentary elections in Russia are not free or fair. voice-verified

Um, every single party in Russia that you can vote for is supportive of the war. voice-verified

Um, the one party that does challenge the uh um the sort of status quo in Russia, a party called Yabloko, there's a liberal party that has called for an end to the war, was barred from running its federal list. voice-verified

um in these elections. voice-verified

So you know, they had a few uh candidates on ballots in some single mandate constituencies, but ultimately most people couldn't vote for them. voice-verified

So people in Russia don't really have the option to vote for any kind of alternative. voice-verified
