Iran’s use of drones shows Russia’s “failure” / article

Zelensky said: The very fact that Russia has turned to Iran for help shows that the Kremlin recognizes its military and political bankruptcy. For decades, Russia has spent billions of dollars developing its military manufacturing sector, but ultimately Moscow has to bow to Iran to receive relatively simple drones and missiles.

Zelensky also expressed confidence that tactically the attackers, whom he called terrorists, still have some hope, but strategically this action will not help at all and even these calculations will fail, like the previous ones.

The last 24 hours have been very difficult for Ukraine, considering the increasing attacks by Russian invaders on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

This was announced by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about 30% of state power substations are damaged, creating serious challenges both for the functioning of the various companies and for the lives of ordinary citizens. The attacks continued this morning and many populated areas near Krivijriha were without electricity this morning.

The situation on the Ukrainian front was also publicly commented for the first time by the newly appointed commander of the Russian operation, Sergei Surovikin. According to him, the situation in Ukraine is very complicated, but Russia’s goal is always to separate Ukraine from the West and NATO and make Ukraine a friend of Russia. As the commander of the Air Force, Surovikin stressed the importance of aviation and air defense, stating that high-precision weapons are still used to attack Ukrainian military facilities. The events of the past few days show that it is not the military infrastructure that is being attacked.

Speaking about the situation at the front, Surovikin said that as units of the Ukrainian armed forces approach Kherson, difficult decisions may be needed. Surovikin said Ukrainian forces are preparing to launch missiles at the city, also targeting the Kahovka hydroelectric dam.

For THIS reason, Kherson local authorities announced that the evacuation of Kherson residents began on the eve of the impending attack.

Observations in recent months, following the events in Ukraine, make us look at such claims with great caution: if Russia warns of such attacks, it is very likely that they will really be carried out, only by the Russians. If you compare the data provided by Ukraine and Russia on those who died at the front, they will also be very similar, only in a mirror image.

The United States, Britain and France will raise the issue of Iran’s supply of drones to Russia in the closed session of the UN Security Council on Wednesday 19 October. Ukraine has called on UN experts to inspect the downed Iranian plane, as their use violates a UN Security Council resolution.

As NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced, Ukraine will receive various anti-aircraft defenses to combat Iranian drones in the coming days. During the foreign policy forum in Berlin, Stoltenberg said that the most important thing for the alliance is to keep the promises made by the member states. Commenting on Iran’s actions, the NATO Secretary General expressed his belief that no country should support Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine.

CONTEXT:

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered to start invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine. Putin said NATO would use Ukraine as a stepping stone for aggression against Russia, although there was no evidence for these claims.

Ukraine believes that Putin’s real goal is to destroy Ukraine’s statehood and bring the territory under the control of Moscow.

In early autumn, in Ukraine’s counterattack freed by the occupants more territory than Russia had managed to capture since early April.

On October 10, Russia with missiles carried out massive attacks Ukrainian cities by bombing civil infrastructure and urban residential areas. At least 19 people were killed in the attacks, more than 100 were injured.
