The Duran: Episode 2524
Ukraine just launched its biggest ever drone strike on Moscow, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down what this unprecedented escalation really means: not a military breakthrough, but a desperate signal from Kyiv and European capitals that they are still in the fight even as the frontlines deteriorate and NATO rearmament continues to fall short. With the US pulling back, Tomahawk missile deals cancelled, and Europe unable to produce weapons at scale, the drone offensive is less a strategy and more a gamble that could spiral dangerously out of control. Is Russia holding back its deterrence for a reason, or is this the moment that changes the entire trajectory of the conflict in Europe?
