The Kiev government is hushing up its military failures in the Kupyansk area, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky has told a Ukraine-themed meeting of the UN Security Council.
"The Russian military have made significant advances in the Kharkov region and are preparing to liberate Kupyansk," Polyansky said on Thursday.
"While keeping the population silent about this disadvantageous dynamic, the Kiev regime has nevertheless announced forced evacuation of 37 settlements, including Kupyansk itself. This is not surprising: a significant part of the local population feels sympathy for Russia and would prefer to wait for the arrival of Russian troops."
At the same time, the Ukrainian counter-offensive has failed, the Russian diplomat continued.
"For three months now, we have been watching the agony of the Kiev regime in the context of Ukraine's so-called strategic counter-offensive, which, according to Western propagandists, was supposed to bring a military victory," he said. "The entire NATO military machinery was thrown in for this purpose, spending billions of Western taxpayers’ money. But as the famous saying goes, it was just ‘a mountain in labor.’"
He added that even military equipment supplied by the West was unhelpful in this regard.
"The only result of the Ukrainian counter-offensive that even the West had to recognize, was tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers who were killed and hundreds of items of costly Western equipment that were destroyed," he said. "The world saw clearly that this equipment was not 'unique and inviolable' for Russian weapons. What’s more, in many cases it cannot compete even with Soviet equipment manufactured 50 years ago.".
Russian defense ministry reports attempted Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, no casualties
A Ukrainian drone attempted to attack targets in Moscow and the surrounding Moscow Region on Friday, but was shot down by the Russian air defenses and fell near the Russian capital’s Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, causing no casualties or fire, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"At around 4:00 a.m. Moscow time, the Kiev Regime attempted to carry out another terror attack with the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle, which targeted facilities in Moscow and the Moscow Region," the ministry said.
"After being hit by the air defenses, the drone changed its flight path and fell on a non-residential building near Moscow’s Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment," it said. "(The incident caused) no damage or fire."
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported earlier on Friday that a drone had been shot down while flying towards the Russian capital. Its fragments fell on the premises of the Expocenter exhibition complex in downtown Moscow, causing no significant damage to the building. Emergencies services told TASS that a section of the building’s outer wall had collapsed at an area of around 30 square
