MOSCOW STRUCK! - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦
Ukraine struck the Moscow oil refinery overnight on June 16, damaging a primary crude oil processing unit at one of Russia's largest and most strategically important refineries, a facility that supplies roughly 35 to 40 percent of the fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region. The video explains why the strike matters beyond symbolism: it penetrated heavily defended Moscow airspace, hit an oil target tied directly to Russia's fuel supply, and comes as fuel shortages are already spreading through Crimea, Krasnodar, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. The update also covers Zelensky's response, additional Ukrainian strikes on a Wildberries warehouse and a Krasnodar fuel depot, Russia's smaller overnight attack on Ukraine, battlefield losses, high Russian vehicle and fuel-tank losses, bridge strikes on Russia's land corridor to Crimea, the crash of a Russian Tu-22M3 bomber, KORD's long-range drone strike on a warehouse south of Kherson, and why bringing the consequences of the war home to Moscow could matter politically.
