EXPOSED: Tracking Russia's $275 BILLION financial catastrophe in Ukraine | Battle Plans

Vladimir Putin is attempting a silent annexation in Europe - but military expert Philip Ingram reveals why the Kremlin's latest battle plan is already doomed. In this episode of Battle Plans Exposed, the former intelligence planner breaks down a bombshell new decree signed by Putin that fast-tracks Russian citizenship for residents in the Moldovan breakaway region of Transnistria. We expose the 'annexation by passport' tactic designed to weaponise a proxy army right on Ukraine's western flank, and explain why Russia’s military isolation means they cannot back up their threats. Plus, we look at the extraordinary resilience of a tiny Zaporizhzhia village (Mala Tokmachka) that has broken the back of the Russian war machine by holding out for 1,500 days - outlasting the historic sieges of Leningrad and Carthage. Finally, we analyse the devastating new naval drone tactics turning the entire Crimean coastline into a permanent kill zone for Russian forces.
