All hell is breaking loose as Ukraine's President Zelensky appears to have been targeted by yet another assassination attempt from Putin. This time, it seems that Putin sent two drones when Zelensky was in Moldova and route to Norway this past week. Now, two drones were spotted over the airspace of Moldova and Romania. One drone went from Moldova, Romania, back over Moldova, and crashed somewhat near where Zelensky's plane stopped over in Moldova. And then there was another drone that was seen flying over Romania. Notably, Romania is a member of NATO. Article 4 has not been invoked. And of course, Article 5 has not been invoked.

Moldova is not a member of NATO. No, Ukrainian officials were saying this was a close call. The leader of Norway also said that this was a close call, but this has been part of a series of Russian actions that we've been talking about here on the Midas Touch Network. Russia appears to have had 10 other targets in Germany, two factories in Poland and one in Belgium, that really isn't getting a lot of attention, but we're calling it out here, of course, on the Midas Touch Network.

Now, Zelensky is going on the offense as well, believing the best defense, especially heading into a very difficult autumn and winter, is also going on the offense. In the past 24 hours, we've seen Ukraine strike deep in Russia with drones going as far as 3,000 kilometers deep in Russia. We'll talk about that in a moment.

but I want to show you right now some of these strikes by Zelensky in the Russian city of Sochi, which was under a massive Ukrainian attack yesterday. Let me show you what that looked like over here. You can see for yourself. More images coming out from Sochi right here of the Ukrainian strikes there. Let's play it. And I've got. one more video here of those strikes let's play it now Putin has been launching massive strikes

in Ukraine we've seen massive strikes causing numerous casualties in sumi and other cities also keve was being hit very very hard let me show you the moment yesterday where keve was struck really hard you'll see this residential building was struck and again numerous casual Here as well, let's play it. He is, he is, mama. The day before that, we saw another massive attack on Key ballistic missile strikes. Gensalinski is very low, almost has no interceptors to stop these ballistics, and you contrast that with seeing again the US dwindling stock of interceptors that we saw over Jordan,

which were relatively ineffective, against the original. against the Iranian strikes earlier this week's. But take a look at this attack earlier this week that lasted several hours where Putin struck hard in Kiev with a barrage of ballistics. Here, play this clip. I'll show you over here in Kiev.

We'll show you over here in Kiev, the Russian ballistic missiles raining down on the Capitol. You can see this as well. Oh, nihu. And then this was yesterday. You can see this Russian Shahidron directly hitting a residential high-rise in Kiev. Take a look. And you have Zelensky striking back. Show you the port of Noverisk. Take a look right here. Yesterday, it was getting slammed by Ukraine and Zelensky play this clip. I did the math on how much I spent out eating this summer. And honestly, I don't want to talk about it.

Okay, now let's show you what was going on deep in Russia, as noted before. 3,300 kilometers deep. You have these FP drones and also I think it's the FP5. Flamingo, as they call it, going deep into Russia. This is a target that appeared to be one of the gas prom facilities right there. Take a look the strikes over here.

Look how deep these strikes were. While all of this is taking place, Donald Trump said that Putin really wants to make a deal with me. He promises. So it's all on Zelensky. Putin told us he's ready to do a deal. I've been showing you the glimpse of Putin and Lavrov and all the people. whether it's Dimitri, what Kirill Dimitriov, or whether it's Yuriushikov,

I've been showing you all of them. And they said, the only deal we want, basically, is we get most of Eastern Ukraine. Russia's view is that's our land, that's us. They don't view Ukraine as a legitimate country, and they want it off the map. That's what Russia said. Russia does not want to do a deal

that's outside of what I just said. They've been saying that very clearly. And that's what. And they invaded Ukraine. You know, this is what Trump said. Here, play this clip. About your conversation with President. We had a great conversation.

He is wanting to make a deal. And if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal, that would be very nice. And meanwhile, Donald Trump's envoy to Russia, Steve Whitkoff, we're learning he earned an additional $100 million from his crypto entity that he's in with Donald Trump, very profitable endeavor that Whitkoff. that Witkoff and Kushner are involved in in their own right. Let's show you this insane close-up footage right here of a Russian Shahi drone directly hitting that residential building. I think we've got another angle of it. Here, let's play this clip.

And then we got another angle right here of what was taking place in Sochi. You can see for yourself these powerful explosions. Take a look. More footage overnight of Ukrainian drones attacking in Dagestan, play this clip. And more footage here of the Ukrainian drone boats and UAVs attacking in Sochi over here. The main target appears to once again be the Sochi port where a fire subsequently broke out. Let's play it. With all of this going on, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, I believe,

believe that's still his title, although he didn't show up in Moscow or in Kyiv, and he seems to only be dealing with harassing Cuba and his idea of dominating the Western Hemisphere and further weakening the United States with ridiculous stuff. But anyway, Marco Rubio was asked, so seems that Russia is supporting Iran. I mean, they're pretty clear about it. We watch what happen at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. We saw Russian foreign minister and we saw Putin talking about it. Same thing with China. Xi Jinping, Wang Yi, the foreign minister of China, making it pretty clear they're helping Iran. They said economically, politically, militarily, no one's really hiding. I mean, it's kind of well known. They're allies, right? I mean, that's what they do. And, you know,

Iran's part of, you know, Iran's had a very big role at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. And it's going to have, I think, a prominent role at the BRICS meeting that's about to take place in a few days. So, Rubio, what do you make of all of this? Watch what Rubio says. Let's play it. We don't believe anybody's giving Iran anything that's changing the dynamics or the parameters of what we're seeing. At the end of the day is, yeah, they continue to fire our naval ships. And when they fire out our naval ships, they pay a price in tankers. They lose a lot of tankers. They don't hit our ships, but they lose five tankers. They lost five more last night, four were damaged, one was sunk. So they'll continue to pay a price for that. In the meantime,

we're going to continue to strangle them economically. And this brings me to the following. After all I've shared with you thus far in this video, it makes me reflect upon the statements made earlier yesterday by Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov. Lavrov said the following. There is the possibility of repeating the kind of trigger

that led to the First World War, Archduke, Ferdinand, and Sarajevo. Something similar could be arranged, given the Europeans' passion for intrigues and adventures, or something like the Reichstag fire. And when you hear Lavrov saying that, when you take a look at what's going on internationally, you see all of these deeply serious developments. And then you see how unserious the Trump regime is, how they behaved yesterday at that bizarre midterm convention in Dallas, when you saw Donald Trump's and of top bootlicking sycophants like Magger Republican Tim Scott behave like this.

Here, play this clip. The Democrats, extreme candidates won't rip that heart out of our chest. They hate our culture. They hate what it means to be American. Hear me, Dallas, not on our watch. when you see that behavior you ask yourself how did the united states become this what is our role internationally how look at what the world is becoming when the united states has so be clowned itself would be putting it nicely um i i hope we all see what's taking place here i hope

we recognize that it's important to have serious people running a country because all of this that's taking place, a lot of it stemming from the fact that the U.S. position in the world has not just been degraded, but has been removed. It's done. It's over. And that's why I spend a lot of time focusing on these international events, why I spend a lot of time showing you videos like this. Anyway, let me know what you think.
