500 Locomotives Destroyed, Warehouses Gone; Front Lines Crumble (The Duran)

Russia is dismantling Ukraine's ability to fight, destroying hundreds of locomotives, most of its warehouses, and now bombing the Zatoka bridge as fuel and ports run dry. In this episode we break down why Orikhiv is close to falling, why Ukraine's Lyman counteroffensive is really about spinning a victory story for Zelensky's meeting with Trump, and why the Kremlin has turned far more hardline on any diplomatic solution. Is Ukraine's economy collapsing faster than anyone in the West wants to admit?
