The Duran: Episode 2522The so called stalemate on the Ukraine front line is a myth, and the collapse of Donbas may be closer than Western media is letting on. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down the latest Ukraine front line update, covering Russia's massive escalating drone offensive, the near total destruction of Ukraine's air defenses, a worsening recruitment crisis, and the domino fall of key Donbas cities pointing toward a Russian ultimatum by autumn.
