Russia Could ATTACK Europe This Summer - Debate On Ukraine Drone Attacks On Russia

Eighteen months in the making, Operation Spiderweb saw $1,000 DIY drones devastate up to 40 Russian strategic bombers—damage Kyiv values at $7 billion.

Now, as peace talks resume in Istanbul, Ukraine brandishes this dramatic strike as leverage—yet critics warn it could just as easily be framed as sabotage of diplomacy. Meanwhile Europe is scrambling to re-arm, and Washington has quietly approved Kyiv’s use of long-range weapons.

In this episode we ask:

• Turning point or tactical blip? Does Spiderweb shift the battlefield—and the bargaining table?
• Negotiation fallout: Will the attack stiffen Russia’s resolve… or force concessions?
• Europe on edge: Has the continent’s late-stage defence surge arrived in time to deter a wider conflict?

Guests

• Major General (Ret.) Jonathan Shaw – former head of UK Special Forces
• Cenk Uygur – Host & CEO, The Young Turks
• Sergei Markov – former adviser to Vladimir Putin

Watch the full debate below and join the conversation on how low-cost drones, high-stakes diplomacy and Europe’s re-armament could redefine this war—before summer is out.
