Zelensky Desperate; Threatens Belarus Attack; Russia Trebles Oreshnik Output; Plans Big Kiev Strikes (Alexander Mercouris)


Zelensky has issued Belarus a sevenday ultimatum, threatening military action as Ukraine's front line buckles across Donbass. Alexander Mercouris of The Duran breaks down why a cornered Zelensky is escalating now, from reports that Russia has trebled Oreshnik missile production to Sergey Poletif's analysis of Konstantinovka's collapse and secret EU outreach to Moscow through Antonio Costa. With Kiev's decisionmaking centers reportedly in the crosshairs and Western support wavering, is this the beginning of the end for Ukraine's war effort?
