STRAIGHT. War in Ukraine: Russia says it has prevented more Ukrainian drone attacks

Vital

  • On the ground, the people of Kiev yesterday announced the capture of the village of Robotinnoe in the Zaporozhye region. If the information had been confirmed, then the Ukrainians would have broken through the first Russian defensive curtain in this very fortified zone.
  • For its part, Moscow said it had thwarted several missile and drone attacks and arrested a Russian suspected of providing sensitive information to the US embassy.
  • Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will fly to Russia “soon” to meet with his Russian counterpart and try to restart an agreement on the export of Ukrainian cereals.
  • The death of Yevgeny Prigozhin was confirmed by genetic examination, as was the death of his right hand, Dmitry Utkin.

Why Robotine is a good catch

The village of Robotino, recently recaptured from the Russians by Ukrainian troops, may be in ruins, but it is located 10 km south of the city of Orykhiv, on the front line of the fighting taking place in the Zaporozhye region. It is served by a main road leading to Tokmok, a Russian-occupied road and rail junction.

Drone attacks prevented in Russia, Moscow says

Two “unmanned aerial vehicles” were destroyed by air defense systems on duty over the territory of the Tula region, located in the south of the Moscow region, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Another device was also shot down in Russia’s Belgorod, bordering Ukraine, on Monday around 11 p.m. local time, the same source said earlier Tuesday. Drone attacks on Russian territory have become almost daily in recent weeks.
