IN EVIDENCE
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he was "naive" in the first years of his mandate about the intentions of Western countries, which aimed at the "disintegration" of Russia as had happened with the USSR. Thirty-three Ukrainian Armed Forces drones were shot down and intercepted over Lipetsk, Rostov and Volgograd regions. This was announced by the Ministry of Defense which considers the offensive as a "terrorist attack". "The air defense systems in service - we read in a ministry note published in the media - destroyed and intercepted 33 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles". Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov described the EU decision to open accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova as "politicized" and warned that the entry of the two countries "could destabilize the EU".
