Zelensky is demanding 60 Patriot interceptors a month and a license to manufacture them in Ukraine, and Alex Christoforou on The Duran cuts through the fantasy to explain what is really going on, all while Konstantinovka is collapsing on the front line, Budanov is reportedly set to replace Syrsky as military commander, and Macron is busy seizing tankers in the Atlantic that everyone knows will be released within days. From the Czech prime minister comparing the EU to the Roman Empire on the road to collapse, to Brussels banning single-use ketchup packets, to the Iran ceasefire that involves the US striking Iranian targets every couple of days, this is the full picture the mainstream media is not giving you. Is the gap between the official narrative on Ukraine and the reality on the ground finally becoming too wide to ignore?
