Why does Zelenskyy warn that Russia’s new Geran-4 and Geran-5 weapons are harder to stop?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
All hell is breaking loose and Ukraine's President Zelensky is issuing a dire warning after 277 drones were targeting Ukraine launched by Russia in the past 24 hours. Zelensky's warning is that the drone interceptors that were previously effective against the older Shahid drones used by Russia are not working like they used to against these new faster jet-fueled Garin 4s and of course the Garin 5s used by Russia. Those cruise missiles really can't be stopped. Only 51% is the interception rate. And Zelensky is also warning that If Donald Trump doesn't implement the sanctions package that was passed by Congress in the past two weeks, it requires implementation that this already existentially difficult winter for Ukraine is only going to get more difficult.

And it's not going to stop at Ukraine that this war could spread to the rest of Europe very soon. Let's take a look at what's happened over the past 24 hours in this catastrophic war in Ukraine by Russia. We'll talk about the Russian strikes in Ukraine. We'll talk about Ukraine strikes in Russia. One of those strikes very close to the Belarus border. We'll show you what went down over there. And Donald Trump promised he was going to end this war in 24 hours after the election. This war is getting far more deadly, far more catastrophic. Also, Donald Trump is blaming all of the world's oil crises and shortages on this catastrophic war right now and saying that's what's the main driver of diesel and gas surging.

Nothing to do with the catastrophic war in Iran. By the way, that's not true. But in any event, you, Donald, said you would end the war in 24 hours in Ukraine with your magic words, more lies. So in the past 24 hours, 277 drone attacks launched by Russia against Ukraine with these jet-powered drones, these Garin 4s, also the Garin 5 cruise missiles we saw were used by Russia. In Kyiv, we saw repeated drone strikes. There were multiple people injured and killed. In Sumy, we saw two to three people killed. In Kharkiv and Zaporizhia, about seven people killed combined. In Odessa, Ukraine, there was a mass strike on port and civilian infrastructure there. In Donetsk, there was three killed, five injured. And then in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, two killed, six injured.

Anywhere from about, on the low end, eight, probably more like 14, 15 people. Ukrainians killed and about 50 to 57 injured. Then Ukraine's strikes. There was an oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai, an Azov optical mechanical plant still on fire from the strike a few days back. In the Krasnodar region, Russian authorities claims Ukrainian drones killed three people. And then in the occupied area in Zaporizhia, Ukrainian drones were alleged to kill one civilian and two others potentially over there. So let me show you what went down. This video has just surfaced of what appears to be a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian logistics truck right by the Russia-Belarus border, but obviously in the Krasnoye-Common-Russia area.

What do the latest Russian strikes and Ukrainian counterattacks reveal about the war?

Ben Meiselas 4:18
Now I'll show you a Russian Garand 5 cruise missile entering into an uncontrolled spin mid-flight. And I think I'm looking at it right now. It looks to be a 5, but the Garand 4 is the drone. The 5 is the cruise. You tell me what you think this is. But in any event, take a look at what just took place. Let's play it.

And now I'll show you this footage right here of a Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 Fulcrum scoring a gun kill with its 30mm autocannon on a Russian Shahid attack drone over Odessa. You can see this for yourself. Let's play this clip.

Now, it's also notable some of the technological advancements that we're seeing in the Russian military. The Russian military is now capable of acquiring real-time high-quality BDA of its strikes with these Garand-type cruise missiles in downtown Kyiv. In the footage below, we can see the moment of a Russian strike with a Garand 5 cruise missile on the Income Business Center located in the Solomonsky District of the Ukrainian capital. The attack is monitored from a Russian UAV.
