Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign has escalated into a systematic liquidation of Russia's deep-rear logistics. As multi-billion-ruble Wildberries and Ozon distribution hubs burn from Krasnodar to St. Petersburg, the illusion of "business as usual" for the Russian middle class has officially gone up in smoke.Meanwhile, frontline Russian troops are facing severe fuel caps, buying black-market gasoline at extortionate prices, while commanders rely on AI-generated fake reports to hide losses, air defenders shoot down their own Su-57 stealth fighters, and Z-patriots openly revolt against the ruling party.In this disemboweling autopsy of the "Syndicate State," I break down the total breakdown of Russian logistics, the silent $38B bank run, and why the Kremlin is operating less like a nation-state and more like a decaying East India Company.Become our patron:https://www.patreon.com/theeasternborderMerch store + another option for memberships:https://theeasternborder-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow what's going on here in the very border of Eastern Europe:https://bsky.app/profile/theeasternborder.lvDownload all episodes for free on our website; pictures accompanying certain episodes can be found there as well!http://theeasternborder.lv/Car4Ukraine Eastern Border Summer Campaign!https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/summer-sunshine-trucks-2026-eastern-borderSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.
