Russia Steps Up Strikes; Pushes West & Ukraine Gov From Kiev; Tightens Dobropilia Orekhov Cauldrons

Russia is escalating its air campaign on Kiev, striking data centers, fuel depots and Black Sea ports in what looks like a deliberate plan to push the Ukrainian government and Western embassies out of the capital. Alexander breaks down Peskov's hardline vow of no ceasefire in the sky, the disastrous 20 minute Lavrov Wadephul meeting, Europe's deepening Ukraine financing crisis, and the tightening Russian cauldrons around Orekhov, Dobropillia and Veliky Burluk. Is Kiev being prepared for isolation, and is the West finally out of options?
