All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is happening in Ukraine.

So what is happening in Ukraine, Alexander?

The Russian military continues to advance.

They've captured some more key villages.

On the other side, we have Ukraine launching huge amounts of drones into Moscow or into the Moscow region.

My question with this operation, this initiative by Ukraine and the collective West, to launch so many drones into Russia is why?

Why now? What is the purpose of this? What are they

trying to accomplish? Why Moscow? Why Moscow? Well, I suspect that... I mean, it's the capital

and everything, but what's the what's the plan? What's the military strategy behind this?

Well, what's the aim here?

This has been true altogether about the whole Ukrainian drone offensive from the first

moment in the sense that if you're looking for military objectives, it's very, very difficult

to find any.

But there are political objectives and there are psychological objectives. So you conduct drone offensives

against Moscow, against other major Russian cities. You conduct missile strikes like the ones we

saw in Bryansk about a week ago, which shocked the Russians profoundly, by the way. And you hope maybe that that will

stun people in Russia, that this will create a major crisis there, that it will create

conflict within the leadership, criticism of the Russian leadership, that it will also

divert Russian resources into defending their cities and their industrial plants and their

logistic hubs in Western Russia, which to some extent it does do.

And that is a legitimate military objective.

And perhaps, and this is the other thing, you hope that something will get through and reach Moscow and might actually hit someone or something in Moscow that might make a difference.
