The Intelligence from The Economist · Putin’s options: an oligarch speaks out · 10 Jul 2026 podcast

And this new uptick in the aerial tax, you've seen people essentially when they wouldn't be paying that much attention to them, they're now really taking serious attention.

So they're sleeping in the metro, they're fleeing cities again.

And

Despite the more positive news you're seeing from the front lines, and certainly there's a story which we can talk about there, there is a real sense of anxiety and tiredness and frankly exhaustion.

So for them, it's a very difficult picture.

So I'm I'm every two or three months I'm sort of teleported to Europe or

And that's given Ukraine a huge advantage in precision.

Yeah.
