We're here on the streets of Moscow. 
That's the famous Bolshoi Ballet behind me. 
Uh and it looks like things are normal, but actually things are not. Uh 
we're now in the fifth year of this war, 
but it definitely feels like things are shifting here. 
Russia, of course, is still attacking Ukraine, hitting a 
storage site for spent nuclear fuel in Chernobyl. 
Remember, that's the nuclear power plant that exploded 40 years ago, 
a drone slamming into a building there. 
President Zelenskyy of Ukraine accusing Russia of a deliberate and violent attack. 
And we're seeing nuclear experts monitoring the site warning that attacking the facility with that much nuclear material is like playing with fire. 
But here's why I think things feel different. 
Firstly, Ukraine's drone capability has massively increased, even the Pentagon acknowledging this. 
And over the weekend, Ukraine launching an unprecedented attack on Vladimir Putin's hometown, St. Petersburg. 
Ukraine again hitting military and energy infrastructure. 
And on the battlefield, Russia's invasion has stalled. 
In some cases, the Kremlin's men are even in retreat. 
And here, on the streets of Russia's capital, people are uneasy. 
I think having tried to ignore the war for more than 4 years, it's now impossible to do so. 
Russia's casualties are now thought to be more than half a million people dead and many more wounded. 
We heard Secretary of State Rubia saying recently that Russia's losing 15 to 20,000 soldiers every month. 
And these Ukrainian drones are impossible to ignore here. 
Now, it'd be too premature, of course, to write off Vladimir Putin. 
He's made it clear that he wants to see this war through. 
But he's now facing greater pressure than ever before. 
Remember, President Trump once told 
President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, "You don't have the cards." 
Well, now it seems he does.
