Putin Reveals Oreshnik Plan. West Desperate to Get Conflict Freeze

The Duran: Episode 2540 Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down Putin's St Petersburg press conference and reveal what Western coverage is missing: a deepening split inside the Russian Security Council, with Putin standing virtually alone in keeping the door open to the Anchorage agreement while Lavrov, Medvedev, and the rest push for a harder line. The Duran examines Zelensky's open letter as a coordinated Western operation timed to the forum, the reality behind the House Ukraine aid bills, the fading influence of Russia's business oligarchs, and why the Oreshnik is being quietly perfected for strikes on Kiev command centers. Is Putin running out of time to close a deal with Trump before the window shuts and a new Democratic administration resets everything? 00:00:00 Putin at St Petersburg Forum Overview 00:01:00 Russia Winning: Front Lines and Drone Reality 00:03:31 Oreshnik Disclosure: Combat Tests and Urban Targeting 00:04:34 Putin Walks Back Ukraine EU and US Rhetoric 00:05:46 Rubio Admits US Is on Ukraine's Side 00:06:44 Security Council Tensions: Lavrov Fires Back 00:09:19 Zelensky Open Letter: Freeze Demand Explained 00:11:51 Who Really Wrote Zelensky's Letter 00:13:03 House Aid Bills and the Coordinated Western Push 00:16:25 Everything Orchestrated to Bury Anchorage 00:18:26 Security Council vs Putin: The Anchorage Compromise 00:21:34 Does Anchorage Keep Putin Restrained 00:23:19 Oreshnik and the Inevitable Move on Kiev 00:24:32 How Powerful Are Russia's Business Oligarchs 00:30:24 Russian Economy Update and Growth Figures 00:30:58 Why Putin Should Move Faster Before Trump's Term Ends 00:32:17 The General Staff Plan: Donbass then Beyond ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.
