Putin Scared! U.S. to Provide Ukraine Intelligence for Deep Strikes Inside Russia. EU Makes Big Step - The Russian Dude



Putin’s nightmare is accelerating, and this time there’s no escape hatch. For the first time since the invasion began, the United States is preparing to hand Ukraine real-time targeting intelligence for strikes deep inside Russia. We’re talking Tomahawks, Flamingos, Neptunes hitting oil refineries, gas pipelines, and power plants—the very foundation of Moscow’s war economy. Trump’s so-called “peace plan” has morphed into a direct escalation, with the White House finalizing written guidance authorizing intelligence agencies and the Pentagon to give Ukraine the coordinates it needs to torch Russia’s energy empire.

Ukraine has already crippled nearly 40% of Russia’s refining capacity with drones and domestically produced missiles, forcing fuel rationing and panic across multiple provinces. Now, with U.S. intelligence support, every strike will be faster, sharper, and more devastating. Add to that Kyiv’s expanding long-range missile industry, plus NATO allies feeding their own targeting data, and Russia’s war chest—built entirely on oil and gas—is staring down total collapse.

Meanwhile, the European Union is preparing to weaponize €140 billion in frozen Russian assets, funneling that money directly into European weapons production to keep Ukraine armed and to supercharge Europe’s own defense industry. Each missile Kyiv launches could soon carry the label “Paid for by Russian Assets, Manufactured in Europe.” As Russia begs Beijing and Seoul for fuel, Europe and the U.S. are turning Putin’s resources against him.

This is the slow strangulation of the Kremlin’s war machine. The so-called “invincible empire” is being dismantled refinery by refinery, pipeline by pipeline, as Washington, Kyiv, and Brussels coordinate the most dangerous pressure campaign yet. From Trump’s radical policy shift to Europe’s frozen asset war chest, the message is clear: Putin is finished.
