Konstantinovka Is Falling, West's Ukraine Narrative Is Crumbling

The Duran: Episode 2536 The western narrative that Ukraine is winning on the battlefield is visibly falling apart, and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris on The Duran break down exactly why: Ukraine's drone offensive deep into Russia is producing less damage than last year, Konstantinovka is on the verge of falling and opening the road to the Slavyansk and Kramatorsk cauldron the channel first predicted in 2022, and the CIA is now moving to place Budanov in command not to win the conventional conflict but to prepare for a long insurgency once the front line collapses. Add Zelensky demanding a Patriot missile manufacturing license that will never produce a single interceptor but will generate billions in contracts, and the question becomes: how much longer can the gap between the official story and the reality on the ground be maintained? 00:00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:01:32 Ukraine Drone Offensive Into Russia Is Fading 00:03:43 Why Deeper Drone Strikes Are Doing Less Damage 00:04:24 Attacks on the Novorossiya Highway Explained 00:06:09 Real Front Line Picture and Konstantinovka Crisis 00:07:20 Why Budanov Is Replacing Syrsky 00:08:48 CIA Control and the Shift to Unconventional Conflict 00:10:51 The New York Times and CIA Grooming of Budanov 00:12:47 Putin on Drones and Why Russia Is Not Attacking Europe 00:14:40 Oreshnik Missiles Targeting Ukrainian Command Bunkers 00:15:40 Expect Distractions as Konstantinovka Falls 00:17:24 The Donbass Cauldron Is Finally Forming 00:19:35 Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Attack and the Difficult Summer Ahead 00:20:50 EU 21st Sanctions Package and the Oil Price Cap 00:22:06 Zelensky's Complaints Over Oil Sanctions and Patriot Missiles 00:25:55 Why the Patriot License Scheme Is Pure Grift 00:28:07 Closing Remarks ***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.
