That report really depends on the word/truthfulness of Zelensky. People can choose who to believe, of course, and it's not really a dichotomy. On their side, the Russians claimed to have shot down their own drones on getting the energy ceasefire;Meh, whatever is my perspective…let's just see the Jeddah talks this week.Quote:The usual social media "experts" have already accused Russia of breaking the "deal" pretty much immediately after details of the call were released. So quickly, as to almost be intentionally preemptive.Quote:
It should be especially noted that at the time of receiving the order from the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to temporarily cease attacks on the energy infrastructure of Ukraine, there were seven Russian attack drones in the air, targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure facilities related to the military-industrial complex, located in the Nikolaev region .
The Russian Air Defense Forces were ordered to neutralize the unmanned aerial vehicles , six of which were shot down by the Pantsir air defense missile and gun system, one by the Russian Aerospace Forces' duty fighter.
There was a Russian drone strike underway that night, as per the quote above, a regular working day by now of Russian military pummeling 404 (don't let rk notice that part). But, as usual, no evidence was provided to show any 404 plant, grid or gas storage actually being hit. On the other hand, the AFU launch on a Russian oil facility is confirmed.
Agreed that both sides are incentivized to lie/exaggerate what the other is doing, which is why Armchair Warlord neglected to mention Russia's attacks. Hopefully the talks are productive this week.
