today Kupyjianzky napremak, our warne, which are to see how much. President Zelensky just delivered a powerful message to Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and he did it from the front lines of the war

where Ukraine just won a major battle against Russia. You saw Zalinski there at Kupiansk, the front lines. He was so close to where the Russian forces were trying to advance while the Ukrainian drone army over the past three days repelled Russia's elite 76th air assault division the

Ukrainian army filled with these advanced drones pummeled Putin now Putin previously said that he controlled this region of Kupiansk he said it was his on November 20th and the top Russian general says Kupiansk has fallen the Russians have control on December 2nd and Vladimir Putin said, we invite the foreign media to see Kupiansk. And on December 12th, you had President Zelensky on the front line saying, hello from Kupiance, Donald, hello from Pukubianz, Putin. And you saw Zelensky right there delivering that message. So let's talk about what went down.

And you have Donald Trump and Putin trying to recalibrate. You've got Trump saying, you know, 82% of you. Ukrainians want to settle right now and give all of Eastern Ukraine to Russia. Actually, Donald, the poll that you're thinking of is 82% of Ukrainians want to fight for their survival against Russia and you and the rest of the Putin bootlickers. Okay, let's talk about what went down over the past 72 hours. So you know the background here, right, that Donald Trump and Putin have been trying to get Zelensky to surrender before Christmas.

and Trump and Putin have tried everything. They laundered a 28-point plan of surrender. Boom, Zelensky and the Europeans exposed that. Then they have a plan where Donald Trump's like, just give up all of Donbos and give up all of Zeprecia or else. And Zelensky's like, now I'm going to speak with our allies in the Europe, not in America anymore because screw you guys. And he met with Kirstarmer in the UK and Macron and Chancellor Merz.

And then he went to other places. Europe where he met with Mark Rut, the Secretary General, they built a strength and understanding together and pushed back against what Trump and Putin were trying to do. Now, when Trump and Putin were trying to put this pressure on, you had Putin trying to launch this sneak attack using his elite 76th Air Assault Division, which has been trying to push forward about three days ago in particular, though, they launched a sneak attack and Ukraine repelled them. As Jay and Keeb says, for context, Russia's 70s.

Air Assault Division that has now been decimated, essentially completely destroyed by Ukraine, is their most elite unit. It's sometimes compared to America's 101st Airborne Division, and in only three days' time, it has been essentially wiped out by Ukraine's newly minted unmanned system forces, the USF, and you see photos right here. This was probably one of the biggest battle,

in the war to date in terms of the utter humiliation for Putin and Zelensky showing his utter strength right here. Here's how it's being reported elsewhere. Ukrainian drones wipe out Russian manpower equivalent to two battalions in just 48 hours, a commander says. Russia's 76 guard ailsault division redeployed and the Donisks Oblast reportedly suffered the heaviest losses under Ukrainian drone strikes in recent history there. On December 10th, Ukrainian troops first repelled the Russian mechanized assault conducted by the 76th division.

The attack began in the morning, with Russian troops attempting to exploit poor weather conditions to advance toward Povrask. The mechanized columns advanced from the south toward the northern outskirts of the city where Ukrainian troops were destroyed most of the Russian equipment and troops. As Spravdi writes, the Asian Russian dictator thought that he had a winning idea. a big propaganda win going into the holiday season that likely he was coordinating with Donald Trump and Whitkoff and Kushner. They would send that elite 76th air assault to clean house near Provost,

but sadly for that old kleptocrat things are not working out with Ukraine's unmanned system forces now liquidating Russians at a record rate and absolute massacre and take a look at Zelensky right there on the front lines. And I can't help but think about the contrast here. with Zelensky on the front lines of the war. I mean, he's right, I mean, literally front lines.

Not like, oh, well, he's close to war. No, no, that's where the war is, and he's standing there strong and proud with his troops. So those were the photos coming out of Ukraine. Contrast those to the photos coming out of Washington, D.C. today as the Democrats in the House Oversight Committee released more photos linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, his former best friend.

So on the one hand, you have Zelensky projecting courage On the other hand, you have Donald Trump showing the perversion that is Trump and this disgusting MAGA movement of his. You've got Donald Trump and young girls with their faces redacted because they're likely Epstein survivors. You've got Donald Trump and like, what do they call this? They call it extreme restraints, pussy pumps. What else is Donald Trump? Trump condoms, these bizarre gloves that are used for some sexual purpose, jawbreaker, gags with terms and conditions, that's what's coming out of the White House.

Perverts, PPP, PPP, Pettop Protection Program, perverts, while you have Zelensky standing strong and proud and courageous. Want to see what these perverts in Washington, D.C. have been doing as well. Well, the Trump regime joined forces just the other day. As Zelensky is showing strength, the perverts in the Trump regime, they were joining forces with Belarus, China, Cuba, and North Korea. to vote against a UN resolution on strengthening international cooperation and coordination of efforts to study, mitigate, and minimize the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster.

And it's spelled Chernobyl, the Ukrainian spelling, not the Russian spelling. That's one of the reasons that Trump and Russia voted against it. The other reason is because it mitigates the effects of its impact on Ukraine. So it's a way to help Ukraine deal with Russia's negligence, maliciousness, a despicable conduct. So Trump and Russia voted against a resolution that would be favorable to Ukraine. And the rest of the world that cares about democracy voted with Ukraine, but Trump voted against it.

Now, again, as I said at the outset of this video, all of this was planned, right? Russia sending in its 76th, in my opinion, coordinated with the Trump, Putin plan to try to force a surrender on Ukraine

and they wanted to do it right before the holiday season, as Donald Trump is also getting ready to invade Venezuela. You see what's happening? This is what Trump views as his spheres of influence. America conquers the Western Hemisphere. Russia, you take all of Europe and take Ukraine. China, you've got Taiwan, you've got Asia. That was in Donald Trump's national security strategy.

Hello, but says spheres of influence. Listen to what Rubio said before. And so this was all being planned. Trump's going to do Venezuela. You go finish conquering Ukraine. Trump puts the pressure on Zelensky, but Zelensky and those, that drone army of his push back. So Trump gave Zelensky an ultimatum.

You better respond in days or else Ukraine is gone. Boom, the 76th of Russia, their most elite unit sneaks in. Zelensky repels them, says, uh-uh, screw you. Meanwhile, you have Lavrov, you have Putin's Lavrov, the foreign minister, saying that Russia and the U.S. have agreed in Alaska that Ukraine belongs to us, non-aligned, neutral, non-nuclear. And then you have Donald Trump saying

that Zelensky needs to be realistic. They're losing a huge number of people. 82% of Ukrainians are demanding that Zelensky make a settlement with Putin and give up all of eastern Ukraine. Trump is literally spewing the Putin talking points. The 82% of Ukrainians don't want Zelensky to give up quite the contrary.

They want the fight. But here's what Donald Trump said, play this clip. I think he has to be realistic, and I do wonder about, you know, how long is it going to be until they have an election? It's a democracy. It's a long time. They haven't had an election in a long time. It's losing a lot of people.

And it's possible that the people, you know, if you look at the polls, I will say 82%, there was a poll that came out, 82% of the people are demanding a settlement be made. Ukrainian people. They want to see a settlement in. I understand that they're losing thousands and thousands of people a week. They want to see it ended. Poll reveals 82% of Ukrainians actually support continuing fighting against Russia,

even without US support. Even without US support, 82% say, we fight. We don't give up our land. We don't give up Eastern Ukraine. We're not Putin boot liquors. We're not perverts like Donald Trump and the PPP, the Petto Protection Program in Washington, D.C. As Richard Woodruff says, Zelensky is the other, he quotes Trump here, where Trump says, Zelensky is the only one who doesn't like the peace plan.

And Woodruff goes, as someone on the ground in Ukraine, I can confirm Zelensky is the only one who does like the peace plan because the rest of us effing hate it and the orange man's stupid face. Here's what Donald Trump said in the Oval Office heading into the weekend. other than Zelensky is people love the concept of a deal. Trump always talks about concepts of a deal. They love the concept of a deal. And Trump's like, it's very complicated. It's like a real estate deal. You've got to give this land.

Trump has no clue what the hell he's talking about. He's a freaking idiot here play this clip. It's called the security agreement, basically, that they call it the security agreement. Yeah, we would help. We would help with security because it's, I think, a necessary factor in getting it done. I thought that we were very close

with Russia to having a deal. I thought we were very close with Ukraine to having a deal. In fact, other than President Zelensky, as people loved the concept of the deal, you know, we threw something out. Is this a four-part deal with you? Well, there's four or five different parts. It's, you know, a little bit complicated because you're cutting up land in a certain way. It's not the easiest thing is sort of like a complex real estate deal times a thousand, right? But it's a deal that would have stopped the killing of thousands of lives every month. Thousands and thousands of lives. Mostly soldiers, but as you know, there's some bodies being done.

Now, let's talk about what else Zelensky is saying. He says the following. Today, we are in the Kharkiv region. I visited the guys in Kupians, front lines, congratulated them on Land Forces Day and presented them with state awards. For a long time, the Russians boasted that they had captured our Kupets, our Kupians,

the Ukrainians, the Ukrainians have long been telling everyone in the world that Ukraine is supposedly weak. they are lying you are strong ukraine is defending its position and the stronger our defense on the front line the stronger our positions will be in negotiations ukraine is doing everything to end the war with dignity and respect for our warriors for our entire state and for every hero of ours who gave their life defending ukraine our memory of ukrainian heroes is a key part of our negotiating stance Ukraine must be respected. Glory to the Ukrainian warriors.

Glory to Ukraine. Powerful, powerful words right there. And I will leave you with this. You then had NATO's Secretary General Mark Rut at the most recent Munich Security Conference just this past week. And he said, winter is coming. Specifically, he said war is coming if we don't stand up right now and assert our authority.

as NATO, as Europe. We need to be ready for the type of war, our grandparents fought in World War II and World War I because that's what's coming, he says. Russia wants that right now, they're ready to invade the way Nazi Germany did. And anyone who aids and abets that is aiding and abetting a world war.

And this is what Secretary General Mark Rut of NATO had to say play this clip. We need to be ready. Because at the end, of this first quarter of the 21st century, conflicts are no longer fought at arm's length. Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe,

and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured. Imagine it. A conflict reaching every home, every workplace. Destruction, mass mobilization, millions displaced, widespread suffering and extreme losses. It is a terrible thought. But if we deliver on our commitments, this is a tragedy we can prevent. NATO is here to protect one billion people on both sides of the Atlantic. Our mission is to protect you, your families, your friends.

and your future. We cannot let down our guard and we won't. Now folks, I always say that the most important things often get the least attention on corporate media. Let me ask you this. Have you heard this anywhere else? Have you heard reporting
