Russia claims to have repelled a Ukrainian drone attack on occupied Crimea this afternoon.
The country’s Defense Ministry said the Black Sea Fleet’s air defense destroyed the drone 10 kilometers off the peninsula’s southwest coast.
Mikhail Razvozhaev, governor of the Russian-controlled Sevastopol port city in Crimea, also said on Telegram that air defenses were active in the area.
“Everyone is still monitoring the situation,” he wrote.
The U. S. State Department said it was “concerned” by reports that Moscow could revoke its ratification of a nuclear test ban treaty.
The Kremlin had previously claimed that revoking ratification would mean Russia would start testing weapons, but would put it on an equal footing with the United States, which signed the treaty but ratified it.

A pro-Kremlin businessman has organized a protest against what he considers “Russophobia” in the United States.
Viktor Zhilenko, founder of a miniature park on the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula, ordered a reproduction of the Statue of Liberty to be dismantled before bandaging it and pouring tomato juice over the statue.
Zhilenko told Russian news firm RIA that the description was opposed to “the competitive and Russophobic policy of the United States. “
“We moved the statue to the other end of the park. Let her wait quietly in the wings until the U. S. government comes to its senses,” he quoted him as saying.
We have a little more detail to give you about the news that the United States has expelled two Russian diplomats after the expulsion of two American diplomats from Moscow last month (see message 18. 42).
Russia claimed U. S. diplomats had kept in touch with a former U. S. consulate worker suspected of espionage. Washington has denied the accusation.
The State Department demonstrated that the expulsion of Russian embassy staff is a retaliatory measure.
“The branch will not tolerate the Russian government’s systematic harassment of our diplomats,” spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement. “Unacceptable moves that oppose the activity of our embassy in Moscow will have consequences. “
Moldovan President Maia Sandu claimed that Wagner’s mercenaries were a coup attempt against her as part of a Russian attempt to destabilize the entire country.
Sandu told the Financial Times that Wagner’s backward boss, Eugene Prigozhin, who died in a plane crash in August, had planned the coup the previous year.
It’s an attempt to make anti-government protests “violent,” he said.
An alleged Russian plot to overthrow Sandu’s government was revealed in February, when she claimed troops would disguise themselves as civilians “to carry out violent actions, attack government buildings and take hostages. “
The Moldovan leader’s pro-Western stance has disappointed Russia, a post-Soviet state where Moscow has traditionally wielded wonderful influence.
Sandu also told the Financial Times that Russia was using strategies such as cash mules and bank cards issued in Dubai to smuggle cash into the country to bribe voters.
Volodymyr Zelensky this week condemned Russia’s “brutality” towards Ukraine.

Zelensky said he held a government assembly in which “everything related to the physical coverage of the facilities, reconstruction, compliance with orders and the procedure to be followed in case of emergencies” was discussed.
Winter preparation in some spaces will begin next week, he said.
Sweden is sending fighter jets to Ukraine, but not before being accepted into NATO.
The Swedish government today announced a fourteenth circular of military aid to Kiev and raised the option of moving its Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
Swedish Defense Minister Paul Johnson said policymakers were assessing “situations where Sweden can make a contribution in the field of fighter jets. “
“We can achieve this by expanding our participation in the F-16 coalition or by donating or exporting the Gripen system,” he said.
The effects of this are expected next month.
“We also said that a mandatory condition for getting fighter jets is that Sweden is a NATO ally, and we have had talks with the Ukrainians, and they have expressed their opinion on that,” Johnson said.
For context: Sweden decided to join NATO along with Finland after the Russian invasion last year.
Finland joined the alliance in April, Sweden’s bid has stalled following opposition from Hungary and Turkey.
Ankara needs Stockholm to take more “concrete measures” against members of an extremist organization it says live in Sweden.
