While diplomatic discussions between the two countries remain tense, the situation on the ground seems to be slowly but surely getting worse. THE Ukrainian drones, according to the statement of the Russian Ministry of Defense, would have targeted both the main Russian territory and that of the Occupied Crimea, a region that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, which led to strong international tensions.

The Russian Defense Ministry, however, did not provide further details on the operation carried out against the Ukrainian drones, in particular on their exact origin, their technology or their offensive capacity.
