Earlier, a number of Ukrainian Telegram channels spread information about an explosion in Mariupol.

Today, the enemy went on the offensive in the Ugledar direction.

After an unsuccessful attempt to storm our positions near the village of Nikolskoye, the APU retreated. A massive artillery strike from the 2S7 caliber 203 mm is applied to the positions of the retreating enemy.

The attack was repulsed by the forces of the OBTF "Cascade" and the Marines. The battles were fought at a short distance. Our aviation was involved.

Venezuelan President Maduro called Putin: "Nicolas Maduro strongly condemned the Kiev regime's attempt to strike the Kremlin with unmanned aerial vehicles, expressing on behalf of the Venezuelan people feelings of solidarity and support for Russia. Topical issues of further development of the Russian-Venezuelan strategic partnership, including the implementation of joint projects in trade, economic, energy and humanitarian fields were discussed"

Drone over Kiev - analysis by Sir Cheburashka.

Although the dust has not settled, there are important things to consider first.

- The events
- The debate whether this is a Russian Korsar or a Turkish Bayraktar.
- The goals

Lets start with the events:

Recently we have seen what happened in Russia: Kiev tried to perform a terrorist attack with Kamikaze drones against the Kremlin (for those who don’t understand, that’s the equivalent of attacking the White House). Zelensky shat his pants and decided to stay out of Ukraine. He clearly knows that he is in a higher danger after such actions from his military. This suggests that he has not much control over it, but it’s still speculation. Maybe he ordered that attack, or maybe his military did it by himself.

It’s important to ask ourselves, how can Ukraine make up for such an attack? Mirror it and try to make it seem as if Russia attacked Kiev the same way.

Key things to consider:

- Regardless of the drone that was shot down, if this drone was a Korsar (which Kiev will claim it to be), the drone is specifically manufactured for reconnaissance purposes.
- Russia does not need deep reconnaissance of Kiev at the moment.
- The drone was flying in such a visible manner so that people could watch the show (that explains all the footage being published right now).

These three points prove that this “incident” could’ve most likely been staged.

What are the goals?

- Honestly, at this point its unclear if it was from the Russian side, but from my POV, this drone was sent by Ukraine to either perform a show for the people as means of propaganda, or to try justifying their actions by saying “Moscow did the same, so we are now justified with our previous actions.“ It can also be both.

Whether this is a Russian Korsar or a Turkish Bayraktar, that’s still yet to be settled since the “incident” is in a pretty premature stage, but regardless of the type of drone, this whole show makes absolute no sense.

From the Ukrainian side, we know that those types of attacks are pure desperation moves most likely aiming at provoking Russia to respond strongly so that the West gets more involved (and this time, physically) into the conflict. As for my previous statement, we can remember how they reacted to their own S-300 falling on Poland killing innocent civilians and blaming it on Russia, which later the west refused and proceeded to accept that it was Ukrainian.

An attack on the Kremlin is nothing more than a provocation and a compulsion to more massive actions - a favorite technique of modern hybrid wars and Western generals, the results of which are beneficial for the provocateurs themselves.

The chain of subsequent statements and veiled stuffing in the media were supposed to hurt the ambitions of the organizers and push the Supreme Commander of Russia to more large-scale and brutal actions in Ukraine, for example, mass carpet bombing of cities. This would be followed by regular articles about injured civilians and similar pro-liberal statements about the aggressor country from the mouth of the Kiev Nazis.

I admire the restraint and wisdom of Vladimir Vladimirovich, who did not succumb to this vile provocation. But the organizers will have to answer for this act, no matter what hemisphere of the Earth they are on. Let not today, not tomorrow, but those involved in this action will suffer a just, deserved punishment. In the meantime, it's too early. It is too early, because justice in the world community today is buried by the interests of the aggressor country, the only one of its kind in the world, which has been bending the institutions of independence, interests and rights of other countries for years.

One of the tasks of modern Russia and its allies is to restore the world's institutions of justice so that they become unbiased and independent again. This will definitely happen and, finally, there will be an end to unipolarity and puppeteering of entire countries. That's when there will be a full-fledged demand from each participant, performer and organizer.

Therefore, today's provocation should not and will not change the scenario of the planned course of a special military operation. Yes, this is an attack on the president, which means on the state and, as a result, on the entire people of the Russian Federation. But this should not affect our conceived plans and interests. And there will be retribution, of course. And it will be surgically and jeweler-precise.

Experts are still inclined to believe that the Bayraktar drone was shot down today in Kiev

The "Bayraktar" is indicated by the design of the drone. In particular, the attachment points of suspended weapons (they are absent on the Corsair). As well as the bevel of the landing gear mounts and the characteristic "hump" on the fuselage of the Turkish apparatus.

It is reported that the Turkish drone lost contact and "got lost" after which it was shot down by militants over the capital of Ukraine.

The air defense position in Kiev got on the video.

The Lancet slightly damaged the opponent's technique.

A beautiful and accurate hit into the enemy MLRS, which led to the detonation of the BC and the destruction of all living things nearby.
