RH 10.6.25 | Russia Strikes, China Spies, Ukraine Hits Back

The Restricted Handling Podcast is back with another hard-hitting, high-energy breakdown of the world’s most volatile front lines — and this one’s packed. In “RH 10.6.25 | Russia Strikes, China Spies, Ukraine Hits Back,” we dive straight into the chaos rocking Eastern Europe and beyond. From Vladimir Putin’s latest threats to China’s not-so-secret spy games, this episode’s got the kind of real-world intrigue that feels ripped from a geopolitical thriller — except it’s all happening right now.

Hosting with signature intensity and humor, we unpack the Kremlin’s biggest air assault yet — an overnight barrage of 500 drones and 50 missiles pounding Ukraine’s cities, power grids, and civilians. Lviv, the “safe” western refuge near Poland, was hit harder than at any point in the war. It’s not just about destruction; it’s about Moscow weaponizing winter again, using energy as both a target and a message. You’ll hear how Ukraine’s scrambling to keep the lights on, how NATO jets were scrambled to secure European skies, and why Zelensky’s patience with the West’s “slow roll” of support is wearing dangerously thin.

But there’s another layer: China’s fingerprints. Ukrainian intelligence says Beijing’s satellites were orbiting overhead as the missiles fell — nine passes in one night. Coincidence? Not likely. We break down how Chinese intelligence may be quietly feeding Russia’s targeting data while pretending to play neutral peacekeeper on the global stage. It’s espionage with Chinese characteristics, and it could redefine how modern wars are fought in space.

Then, the plot twist: Ukraine is fighting back — not just with courage, but with tech. You’ll learn about Kyiv’s “DeepStrike” campaign, the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, and how Ukrainian engineers are out-innovating the Kremlin with drones that cost less than a Russian tank tire. They’re hitting oil refineries, fuel depots, and export terminals deep inside Russia — cutting off Moscow’s money and its morale. It’s asymmetric warfare at its sharpest edge.

We also zoom out to Europe’s growing unease: Serbian extremists teaming up with Russian ultra-nationalists, mysterious drone swarms over Germany’s airports, and EU politics teetering on the edge as populists cozy up to the Kremlin. Meanwhile, Putin’s allies are spewing Cold War-era rhetoric like it’s a TikTok trend — from Medvedev’s “dumb animals” rant to state media mocking NATO’s defenses.

This is the world’s most unpredictable conflict told through sharp analysis, dark humor, and straight-shooting intelligence insight. Russia strikes, China spies, Ukraine hits back — and The Restricted Handling Podcast brings you every high-impact detail, every power move, and every crack in the global order.

Listen now — because this isn’t just the news. It’s the next briefing you can’t afford to miss.
