This update examines the intensifying Ukraine War as Ukrainian long-range drones strike the Novocherkassk power plant and Lukoil offshore platforms in the Caspian Sea. Russian energy infrastructure faces significant damage while Kyiv endures severe power outages following the deliberate targeting of the Ukrainian electrical grid during freezing temperatures. The report details the Asgard battalion’s successful destruction of eight Russian air defence systems and the rare TOS-1 Solntsepyok flamethrower. Analysis is provided on the Oreshnik missile's deployment as a tool of psychological warfare and the doubling of STING interceptor production to counter Shahed drone swarms. Furthermore, the video investigates a significant shift in US foreign policy, with reports suggesting Donald Trump has authorised the seizure of Russian tankers and implemented stricter sanctions. British Defence Secretary John Healey’s emergency train stop during a missile strike and Dmytro Kuleba’s assessment of Vladimir Putin’s resolve are also discussed.
