What did the Ukrainian drone swarm strike in Moscow and why is it significant?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
All hell is breaking loose as Moscow is burning. Insane scenes right now in the heart of Moscow, where a Ukrainian drone swarm struck hard into multiple areas, refineries, infrastructure used for the military in Moscow. I want to just show you some of these scenes. In a moment. Now, this comes at the same time where Russia's president Vladimir Putin is saying that European countries are plotting a massive war against Russia, while European countries are saying Putin is planning a massive hybrid war against Europe. One top French uh defense official told uh the newspaper over Over there, that there's currently responses taking place, active responses, conventional military responses in response to active hybrid warfare that Russia is engaging in against European nations.
Ben Meiselas 1:05
We'll get to that in a moment. But first, I want to show you some of these scenes of what Moscow looks like right now. Then I want to talk about what Europe is doing. Doing uh as it claims it is preparing for a imminent war in the coming weeks, perhaps even days. And we'll talk about what Putin is claiming and what he's saying is going on over there. And then we'll talk about what's going on as Donald Trump cut his trip from Camp David short. He was supposed to be there all weekend. He headed back to the White House looking Being sluggish, looking like he was rotting away again. And we'll talk about what that may signify as you have a B1 flying out of uh UK as well. Let's get through all of this. Let's talk about it all right now.
Ben Meiselas 1:54
So, over here, you can see probably at least five different fires burning at the Moscow oil refinery right here. Let's take a look at what that looks like. Like.
Ben Meiselas 2:18
More insane footage over here from Moscow. I mean this is, you know, uh an area that Putin previously thought of as being impervious to Ukrainian drone swikes str drone strikes, but a massive swarm hit. Let's take a look at some of this video right here. What?

How do the dramatic Moscow footage and refinery fires illustrate the attack’s impact?

Now I will show you some of the aftermath as well over here. Large-scale drone attack in Moscow, multiple impacts being recorded across several sites in the oblast. Let's take a look.
Pete Hegseth 3:06
Это ни хреново так. Зашади, так зашади.
Unknown 3:11
Uh охренеть просто.
Pete Hegseth 3:17
Все, конечно. Ладно, поехали.
Ben Meiselas 3:19
А че это вообще за склад реально было? По-моему, здесь просто ран в алкарии
Pete Hegseth 3:22
вижу здесь.
Ben Meiselas 3:23
Indeed, Russia confirmed dozens of Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow as a broader attack hit multiple regions. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sabinin, said that air defenses shot down a lot of these drones, but some indeed got through. They say that 76 or more drones were intercepted. But let me just share with you over here what it looked like in the Moscow region. Let's play this clip.
Mat Nuclear 3:52
Вот вам прямая трансляция.
Unknown 3:59
Oh yeah.
Ben Meiselas 4:12
I got another clip for you right here. Let's play it.
Unknown 4:16
Вот это вроде как склады Валби из горят. Город или кто остается?
Ben Meiselas 4:28
Now you also had Russian drones and ballistics hitting hard in Ukraine.

What are European leaders saying about a possible war with Russia?

Ben Meiselas 4:33
This is the Sofiano area over here by Kyiv. You can see this for yourself. Let's take a look at what that looked like.
Ben Meiselas 4:50
Yeah, I mean this footage that's coming in is indeed uh very, very uh uh powerful. I mean, these are crazy scenes indeed. Now, as I mentioned before, uh an anonymous French defense ministry source is saying that France is already conducting covert conventional military operations against Russia when asked if Paris could retaliate militarily. Without announcing it, this same source replied, it is already happening. That's what they're saying in Le Monde right now. Even France's far-right national rally party, RN, with its leaders Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella, they issued a rare condemnation of Russia warning against Moscow using intimidation threats and destabilization to influence. France. How about that?
Ben Meiselas 5:42
That you have even France's far-right party standing up to Putin more than, say, Donald Trump and Trump's regime?
