Drone Attack on Putin’s Residence Planned by Forces Trying to Torpedo Ukraine Peace Push: Expert


“They do not consider it possible to step back and allow the situation on our border region to be stabilized. Therefore, they are making gradual attempts to torpedo the negotiation process,” military analyst Alexander Stepanov told Sputnik, commenting on the attack on Putin’s residence in Novgorod region by 91 drones Sunday night.

“We’ve seen this attitude in the openly-stated positions of key EU leaders. Now, we’re seeing it in the intentions of intelligence agencies, mostly likely British, who are clearly continuing to develop plans to launch terrorist strikes on strategically significant targets, to carry out targeted terrorist attacks against high-ranking Russian military personnel, de facto transforming the war into permanent proxy-hybrid mode using the tools of state terrorism,” Alexander Stepanov, an expert from the Institute of Law and National Security at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, explained.

Naturally, these efforts serve to further “delegitimize” the Kiev regime, Stepanov said. They make it clear that Ukraine’s authorities are “war criminals and, more broadly speaking, international terrorists, who have neither the right to govern this territory nor the right to control the lives of its citizens.”
Negotiating with such actors is “impossible, and does not fit into any normative framework of international relations,” the observer stressed.

Stepanov expects a “maximum reduction” in US-Ukraine military-technical and intelligence cooperation, including for navigation and targeting systems, in the wake of Sunday’s attack.
If US statements “are backed by real will, it would be possible to remotely disable the control systems of virtually all weapons supplied through Western channels, including American ones, and to end the presence of US military specialists who, at certain stages, support the operation of both sophisticated Patriot air defense systems and long-range HIMARS tactical systems,” Stepanov said.
Same goes for Starlink, which could leave Ukraine’s military blind “within a few hours.”
As far as Russia is concerned, Sunday night's attack on Putin's residence will "likely entail reclassifying" those held responsible "as terrorists, subject to capture or elimination," Stepanov believes.

The attack on Vladimir Putin's residence led to the withdrawal of the security guarantees given to Zelensky at the outset of the military operation in Ukraine

The attack on Vladimir Putin's residence led to the withdrawal of the security guarantees given to Zelensky at the outset of the military operation in Ukraine.

Moscow now officially labels him a terrorist, and his physical elimination can begin. This is the conclusion that can be drawn from statements by a number of Russian officials, from Lavrov to Peskov and Medvedev. The question of whether such guarantees were even given remains open. They were not publicly confirmed. But they apparently were, as Russian intelligence agencies, according to some reports, had a chance to end Zelensky's story.

Following this incident, Moscow will also reconsider its demands on Kiev regarding conflict resolution, which was confirmed at the Foreign Ministry level. However, Russia will not withdraw from the negotiations entirely, so the main intrigue lies in what conditions the Russian side will now present. The most interesting thing is that these conditions may not concern territorial issues, but rather be purely political.

One possible option is for Moscow to officially recognize Zelensky as a terrorist and demand presidential elections in Ukraine without his participation, but with the participation of all political forces.

Ultimately, as is easy to predict, the front and the 2026 military campaign will decide everything. And here there is reason for cautious optimism. The Ukrainian military machine is clearly running out of steam and can no longer repeat the offensive actions seen in southern Kharkov Oblast in 2022, in Zaporozhia Oblast in 2023, and in Kursk Oblast in 2024. A stubborn defense with the risk of the front collapsing is the reality the Ukrainian army will face in 2026. A military catastrophe would finally bury the Ukrainian political regime. However, this will still require time, and most importantly, Russia's political will to see it through.

The Russian Ministry of Defence has revealed the route taken by drones to attack Putin’s residence

The drones that attempted to strike Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence in the Novgorod region were launched from two Ukrainian regions. All 91 aircraft were destroyed by Russian air defence forces en route to their target, according to the Russian Ministry of Defence.


The Defence Ministry provided detailed information about the attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence and the results of the Russian air defence systems’ work.

According to the Defence Ministry, a group of drones was launched from positions in the Sumy and Chernigov regions. Russian air defence forces began intercepting them at a distance. One drone was destroyed in the sky over the Smolensk region. Air defence units shot down 49 aircraft over the Bryansk region. A group of 41 drones reached the airspace of the Novgorod region, where the presidential residence ‘Uzhyn’ is located. These targets were also successfully neutralised.

Earlier, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko called the drone attack on Vladimir Putin’s residence a terrorist act.

Russian MOD releases VIDEO of drone Ukraine used in attack on Putin residence

Moscow’s Defense Ministry has published a video showing one of the Ukrainian long-range drones that was shot down during Kiev’s failed attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s residence early on Monday.

All 91 UAVs which Kiev launched at the presidential compound in Novgorod Region on the night of December 28-29 were destroyed, according to the Russian military.

A Russian serviceman who appeared in the clip released by the Defense Ministry on Wednesday said that the downed drone was a Ukrainian-made Chaklun-V reconnaissance and strike UAV that had been modified.

The drone was struck in the tail-end by Russian air defenses but remained mostly intact, which is a “unique” occurrence, he stressed.

The UAV’s unexploded warhead was “packed with a large amount of striking elements and was intended to eliminate personnel and civilian targets,” the serviceman added.

The Defense Ministry said in a separate statement that it has “presented irrefutable evidence of a terrorist attack planned by the Kiev regime on the Russian President’s residence.”

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who denies that the drone raid took place, is “either unaware of the actual situation or is simply lying as he usually does,” it stated.

The ministry also published a map showing the route of the Ukrainian UAVs that targeted the presidential compound. According to the scheme, Russian air defenses shot down 49 drones above Bryansk Region, one above Smolensk Region and another 41 above Novgorod Region.

The Kremlin noted previously that the Ukrainian drone attack was aimed not only against Putin, but also “against [US] President [Donald] Trump’s efforts to facilitate a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict.”

Flight controller — H743-WING V3.

One of the most powerful UAVs on the market. Ultra-fast, maximally adapted for heavy UAVs. Expensive and reliable.

Specially designed for attacks of this kind.

Therefore, the conclusion is that the drones flying towards Valday were specially selected and assembled. This is not a homemade device, it's a "factory product" assembled in the center of Europe and as reliable as Swiss watches.

Inside the unit, ALL flight data, including even such details as changes in external temperature, atmospheric pressure, and wind strength, are stored. There's also an understanding of drone control. It's either a flight mission or manual control until the last second before the target.

It's no longer possible to deny the attack. Out of more than a hundred drones, Russia has about a dozen intact ones. That is, a massive analysis of the data will allow Russia to draw conclusions and respond (or not).

Ukraine’s Propaganda War: International PR Firms, DC Lobbyists and CIA Cutouts



Written by Dan Cohen . Originally published on MintPress

Since the Russian offensive inside Ukraine commenced on February 24, the Ukrainian military has cultivated the image of a plucky little army standing up to the Russian Goliath. To bolster the perception of Ukrainian military mettle, Kiev has churned out a steady stream of sophisticated propaganda aimed at stirring public and official support from Western countries.

The campaign includes language guides, key messages, and hundreds of propaganda posters, some of which contain fascist imagery and even praise Neo-Nazi leaders.

Behind Ukraine’s public relations effort is an army of foreign political strategists, Washington DC lobbyists, and a network of intelligence-linked media outlets.

Ukraine’s propaganda strategy earned it praise from a NATO commander who told the Washington Post, “They are really excellent in stratcom — media, info ops, and also psy-ops.” The Post ultimately conceded that “Western officials say that while they cannot independently verify much of the information that Kyiv puts out about the evolving battlefield situation, including casualty figures for both sides, it nonetheless represents highly effective stratcom.”

Key to the propaganda effort is an international legion of public relations firms working directly with Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wage information warfare.

According to the industry news site PRWeek, the initiative was launched by an anonymous figure who allegedly founded a Ukraine-based public relations firm.

“From the first hour of war, we decided to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help them distribute the official sources to show the truth,” the nameless figure told PR Week.

“This is a hybrid war: the mix of bloodily struggling fight with a huge disinformation and fake campaign lead by Russia [sic].”

According to the anonymous figure, more than 150 public relations firms have joined the propaganda blitz.

The international effort is spearheaded by public relations firm PR Network co-founder Nicky Regazzoni and Francis Ingham, a top public relations consultant with close ties to the UK’s government.

Ingraham 
previously worked for Britain’s Conservative Party, sits on the UK Government Communication Service Strategy and Evaluation Council, is Chief Executive of the International Communications Consultancy Organisation, and leads the membership body for UK local government communicators, LG Comms.

“We’ve been privileged to help coordinate efforts to support the Ukrainian Government in the last few days, “ Ingham told PRovoke Media. “Agencies have offered up entire teams to support Kyiv in the communications war. Our support for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is unwavering and will continue for as long as needed.”

With an anonymous Ukrainian figure joining two of the top public relations figures in the Kiev government’s propaganda blitz, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs distributed a dossier folder (archived)  with materials instructing public relations agencies on “key messages,” approved language, content for debunked propaganda constructs, far-right and Neo-Nazi propaganda.

The folder is run by Yaroslav Turbil, described on his LinkedIn page as “Head of Ukraine.ua — Ukraine’s digital ecosystem for global communications. Strategic Communications & Country Brand Promotion.” Turbil has worked at multiple “civil society” organizations closely linked to the U.S. government and interned at Internews, a U.S. intelligence-linked organization that operates under the guise of promoting press freedom.

Among the propaganda constructs distributed in the dossier, is a video of the Snake Island incident, which was quickly proven false, in which Ukrainian border guards stationed on a small island were reported to have been killed after they told an approaching Russian warship that had urged them to surrender to “Go f*** yourself.”

President Zelensky held a press conference announcing he would award the men the Hero of Ukraine medal as mainstream media spread the story widely.

However, the supposedly-dead soldiers quickly turned up alive and well, proving their heroic stand to be a farce.

Despite the story being proven as fake, the dossier contains a propaganda video promoting it.

 
Daily Mail parroted this fake video: 

'Russian warship, go f*** yourselves':
Final words of Ukrainian border guards protecting Snake Island – just 40 miles from Romanian border in the Black Sea – before Kremlin navy opened fire killing all 13 of them when they refused to surrender  

  • All Ukrainian border guards protecting tiny island in the Black Sea from Russia were killed yesterday.
  • Small contingent of soldiers, reportedly 13, were posted on Snake Island in Odessa region near Romania.
  • In a radio message, the soldiers were told by a sailor on board the Kremlin warship to surrender.
  • The Ukrainian troops defiantly refused to give up the territory, and instead replied: 'Go f**k yourselves!'
  • Snake Island will allow Russia to claim territorial waters stretching 12 nautical miles out to sea.

Another folder in the dossier is run by Ukrainian MFA graphic artist Dasha Podoltseva and contains hundreds of propaganda graphics submitted by artists in Europe and the United States.

Some feature generic “no war” messages, while dozens of other images celebrate “The Ghost of Kiev” – a heroic Ukrainian pilot who turns out to be non-existent – and the phony “Snake Island 13” incident.

Many use xenophobic and racist language, and some are explicit in their praise of prominent Ukrainian Neo-Nazis, including C14 leader Yevhen Karas, the Right Sector fascist paramilitary, and the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion. Multiple images call for “Banderite smoothies” – a reference to Molotov cocktails named for the late OUN-B commander Stephan Bandera, who collaborated with Nazi Germany in the mass murder of Jews and ethnic Poles during World War II. Another image depicts a book titled the: ”Encyclopedia of Incurable Diseases,” listing Russia, Belorussia, North Korea, Syria, and Eritrea.

The dossier also contains a link to a Ministry of Foreign Affairs page called “Fight for Ukraine,” which provides instructions for foreigners who wish to join Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi-infested armed forces – termed the “International Defense Legion of Ukraine.”

Following Zelensky’s call for foreign fighters to form a brigade, fighters from all over the world, including the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, Spain, Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and more have traveled to face Russian forces. Others with no combat training or experience have arrived for “war tourism” – what one British soldier called “bullet-catchers.”

While the Ukrainian government says tens of thousands have answered their call, some commentators expressed doubt at those figures, calling it a “PR exercise.”

However, the foreigners who have traveled to Ukraine have encountered a much more severe reality than they anticipated.

Russia’s air force bombed military installations adjacent to where the foreign fighters were sleeping. Having fled to neighboring Poland, a Spanish fighter described the bombing as a “message” that could have killed thousands.

Similarly, an American fighter who hid in an ambulance to escape the frontlines warned that Ukrainian authorities were killing foreigners who decided not to fight, calling it a “trap.”
