Crimea Raid Removes a Kremlin Warlord - Jason Jay Smart
The war has breached Moscow. On December 22, 2025, a car bomb on Yaseneva Street killed Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. This marks the third elite assassination in the capital this year. The internal purge is accelerating. In Crimea, the warlord "The Spaniard" was executed by a hit squad. Meanwhile, General Kuzovlev vanished after lying to Putin about the capture of Kupyansk.
Simultaneously, Ukraine is severing the Kremlin's financial arteries. Drones struck the massive Tamanneftegaz terminal and set 1,000,000 cubic meters of fuel infrastructure on fire. Deep inside Russia, saboteurs penetrated the Lipetsk air base. They incinerated $100 million in fighter jets inside their hangars.
This video analyzes how these security failures trigger a catastrophic economic collapse. With 25% of corporate loans now held as toxic defense debt and consumer spending plunging by 8.8%, the regime is facing a systemic banking crisis by October. We break down the connection between the Moscow car bombs, the burning oil exports, and the imminent financial insolvency of the Russian war machine.
