Ukrainian Strikes Disrupt the Russian Economic Summit || June 4, 2026
Just as Russia was kicking off its version of the Davos summit, Ukraine crashed the party with some long-range drone strikes on Saint Petersburg.
This summit was meant to demonstrate that Russia remains open for business and attractive to foreign investment, but the Ukrainians quickly muddied those waters. These strikes serve as a reminder of Ukraine's increasing long-range capabilities.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, but it's tougher to convince people to invest in your energy sector when there's a constant risk of someone blowing it up...

Apparently a boat load of new strikes by Ukraine overnight... 🤣
The commies at Palantir should do well.
It feels like Ukraine has more cards than the US currently....Trumps little bullying session has backfired immensely.
I find it hilarious that Russia is crying about Ukraine striking civilian structures saying it isn't fair when they've been bombing the crap out of everything in Ukraine. I'm glad Russian civilians are starting to feel the pain of the war.
The idea that Russia is the last bastion of European (white) Christianity and Christian values is thanks to Dugin's propaganda. Dugin recycled the old Soviet myths about a decadent west, but reframed communism vs capitalism as the difference between a land and a sea power. He wrote that sea powers have better economies an technology, but land powers have superior character, religion, and military culture. Spencer, the white supremacist who organized Charlottesville, was married to a Russian who translated Dugin's writings into English, and the idea that Russia was the last Christian bulwark against western decadence was deseminated amongst the alt-right.
Would love an update on what is going on in Iran war.
*awkward smile from Russian MC “Please enjoy our fireworks display…”
St. Petersburg weather forecast cloudy 30% chance of rain and 40% chance of falling debris at the airport from a Ukrainian drone strikes… Warm and sunny by the afternoon
I have to laugh at Steven Segal. He needs to take all his class C movies with him.
Letra not forget he claims the premier blues players called him “Mojo Priest”(he probably gave himself that name). And made a song about “Me want Punani”. His ego is one of the most hilarious to laugh at.
Putin, Candice Ownes, Scott Ritter, Steven Sagal, Andrew and Tristan, et all. They’re all there in one place! Do It! Do it NOOOWWW!
Scott Ritter! The other day I was trying to remember the name of the American gone full Russian that was in prison in the US for diddling a minor. These people with American accents(being American), and giving Kremlin messaging back to us just makes my Cold War blood boil lol.
Didn’t the Trump administration have a delegation to the forum
Yes, there is a US deligation. A gift from thiere asset in the US.
Wait until the USA joins Russia and invades Europe...
It sure would be a shame if Ukrainian drones started taking out oligarchs. A real shame. But at least Russians still have clean clothes. It's a wonder how washing machines ever got on without 90nm microprocessors.
Go Ukraine!
How nice of Ukraine to arrange the keynote for the Russian wreckonomics forum 😂
Great one
People like Candace Owen’s see Russia as the last great hope for conservative society. Western society is in constant battle between conservatism and liberalism. While most people in the west like that check and balance some people REALLY hate that conservatism has to compete with liberalism. They much prefer a society like Russia where liberalism is the minority and conservatives dominates. There isn’t anything more to it then that
Maybe they can all move to Russia then?
When you're in the mood for love, nothing spoils the moment like an air-raid siren....
Vladimir should have called his buddy Donald and asked him to tell Zelensky to let the Russians have their summit...
And Z would have told D “This is one of my cards, and I’ll play it as I see fit..”
So will putin start using his hypersonic missles?
I doubt they work
