Zelensky is panicking, and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran explains exactly why: Russian forces have recaptured Borova, now control 85% of Lyman, and are on the verge of collapsing the entire Ukrainian defensive line east of the Oskil River, opening a potential path toward Slaviansk and ultimately Kiev itself. Meanwhile, Europe faces a compounding crisis as NATO's weapons production emergency meeting exposes a military buildup that has spent massively and delivered almost nothing, bond markets are in rout amid the continuing Strait of Hormuz blockade, and the Europeans are simultaneously damaging relations with China through an expanding sanctions regime. Is Europe about to experience the biggest strategic panic of this entire conflict?
