All right, Alexander, let's talk about the Ereznik strike into

Laviv yesterday evening or early, early this morning,

however you want to look at it.

Your thoughts, Alexander, on the strike.

Ministry of Defense clearly said that it's a response

to the drug attacks on Putin's residence.

Yes.

Yes.

They always, they would, that is what they would predictably say.

And I mean, we may as well accept it as correct.

What I would say is that we've been expecting the Oresnik to be used basically since

midsummer. It has been in serial productions throughout 2025. The first Oresniks were deployed

in Belarus a few weeks ago.

And just before Christmas, Putin said that it had finally entered active service in Russia.

So I personally have been expecting an Oreschenik strike to come fairly soon anyway.

But the Russians, for the moment at least least are tying it to the attack on the,

on the on the, on Putin's residence at Valdai. We don't have the full details of what the

strike achieved. But the evidence suggests, again, a very powerful, very devastating

strike. The Ukrainians are admitting that they have no ability to counter the Ereshnik. This is by far the most

powerful missile that's been used in the area of the city of Volf in western Ukraine.

The attack took place close to the Polish border. And perhaps the most interesting information that we're getting is that it struck a major gas reserve facility,

which contains supposedly around 50% of Ukraine's total gas reserves.
