This is the weirdest thing that's going on with Ukraine and Russia. Let me show you guys a couple clips as we get into it. You know according to Reuters, Ukraine reported that they hit 196 to 201 Russian vessels with their drones just in three weeks in July.
So these are oil tankers.
These are big ships that they control the remote. And here's what it looks like. I just want you to watch this. You're in Ukraine, Russia's the big scary monster that's got nuclear weapons and they can kill anybody. Well, they have a hard time killing Ukraine. So watch this right here, go for it. Look at this here. Just press play, okay? These are moments before a drone hits a Russian ship. Watch, boom, that's one. Here's another one for you. And look at the dates right there. This is July 18th, another one. Guy controls it all the way from Ukraine. And by the way, they got a general that is general. You know what division he runs? He runs the drone division. A Ukrainian general that all he runs is the drone division. And all they do is they fly. There's another clip that shows where drones are parked on a road, waiting to get orders of where to go ahead. And a Russian drone is recording that Ukrainian drones are sitting on a bridge or sitting on a road. You can keep playing these clips by the way. Just waiting for someone to go out there and give them destination of where to go to.
They're just waiting for target. And by the way, can you go type in Ukraine drone target? Just go on YouTube if you can. Type in Ukraine drone footage and then do me a favor. And just go for the month of, go to views, solve for popularity.
Go back to where you were at. That was good. Go to popularity all the way to the right. And then go to filter again. And do me a favor. Now go to filter again and go to the last month. It's the third category. Press month. Now watch this Vinny, okay? You'll see these guys go a little bit lower so you get to the shorts. You'll see these guys that are hitting so many different locations recently. It's not on the short side. It's okay. We'll show it afterwards. I should have sent you the clip. So you'll see these guys doing this. Now here's the part. Back in the day, Russia decides to build a bridge between Russia and Crimea. They build this bridge, massive bridge that they build, to get through. Do you know who blows up the bridge?
Who do you think blows up the bridge? So they cannot drive tankers through? No, no, Ukraine blows up the bridge. So people can't go through, and they eventually end up fixing it. If you see the bridge that they blew up, you type in the Crimea bridge, blew up. They blew up the bridge. These guys are going back and forth. Putin is now announcing that they're going to be attacking in a major way. What that looks like, who knows?
Zelenskyy now has done the impossible. Let me tell you what Zelenskyy has done. Is that the bridge? Yes, that's the bridge, right? You just had to go back, click on that top one. That was the bridge that Russia built. Vinny, look at this.
This is the bridge that they built. Now look what happened to it. So now you cannot go through. This is when he was bragging about the bridge that they had built and how magical it was and how this was their strategy of how they're going to go get Crimea.
Nope. Now you can't do that because they blew up. So to tell you the impossible thing that Zelenskyy done. Zelenskyy went from being loved by Democrats, hated by Republicans, the Democrats would wear the Ukraine pin versus the other. To now-

To now, the likes of Laura Loomer are saying, I was wrong about Zelenskyy because now Zelenskyy, they're realizing Putin was giving intel to Iran of where military bases were at. So Zelenskyy, by being this patient, all of a sudden is slowly becoming an ally because they're realizing Russia was helping Iran. So it is a very, very weird thing that's going on right now. The last 30, 60, 90 days with Ukraine. Tom, your thoughts right here, because I know there's some negotiations that's going on as well. And Trump was talking about the license in a reversal. Trump says he hasn't agreed to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriot missiles. There was all these talks that's going back and forth. Where are you at now with Ukraine and Russia, Tom?
