Is this proof that the Russians lied? Has Moscow happened again? #video #live

18.15 A video of the collision of the vessel with the Russian ship Ivan Kurs was published

The video, which appeared on several channels on the Telegram communication app today and circulated on Twitter, consists of a collage of two videos of what are believed to be Ukrainian unmanned vessels that had cameras on board. From the first video, it can be seen that the vessel is sailing towards the Ivan Kurs ship, which is firing at the vessel, while the second frame shows the vessel coming very close to the Ivan Kurs ship, and the transfer of the image is then interrupted, allegedly due to the collision of the vessel with the ship.

The video, according to many commentators and war analysts on Twitter, calls into question the centrality of the Russian Defense Ministry’s claim that the Ivan Kurs ship destroyed three Ukrainian so-called kamikaze unmanned naval drones that were sailing towards the ship. The Russians did publish a video of the destruction of only one vessel, that is, after being hit by a weapon, the ship exploded violently, which probably means that it was loaded to the top with explosives.

This is the middle video circulated to news agencies by the Russian Ministry of Defense:

Some on Twitter are already drawing parallels with last year’s shipwreck of the battleship Moscow, the pride of the Russian Black Sea Navy, which sank in the Black Sea on April 14 last year, due to today’s video purportedly showing a kamikaze boat crashing into the Ivan Kurs.

At the time, the Ukrainian authorities claimed that Moscow had been hit by an R-360 Neptune missile, but the Kremlin called Kiev’s claims a lie and explained that a fire on the ship caused an explosion of ammunition, and that the ship then sank due to rough seas. The day after the Moscow shipwreck, Russia attacked the Luch Design factory in Kiev, where Neptune missiles are manufactured, with ballistic missiles.

Many western analysts later confirmed that the ship Moskva was almost certainly the target of a Neptune missile, two of which were said to have hit it, but they also expressed the opinion that the ship most likely did not sink as a result of being hit by missiles, as Moscow was said to be able to withstand many more of them. , but due to the poor training of the crew for emergency situations.

4:32 p.m Russia will expel five more Swedish diplomats

Russia will expel five more Swedish diplomats and close its consulate general in Gothenburg and the Swedish consulate general in St. Petersburg, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced today. At the same time, it explained that the measure is a response to the expulsion of five Russian diplomats from Sweden at the end of April. In Stockholm, the move was described as regrettable.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow announced today that the Swedish ambassador to Russia, Malena Mard, has already been informed of retaliatory measures due to her country’s “confrontational orientation”. “A decision was made to declare five Swedish diplomats as undesirable persons,” the ministry announced.

They added that the Consulate General of Russia in Gothenburg, Sweden, will also be closed from September 1, and that the Swedish Consulate General in Saint Petersburg will also have to cease operations by then, reports the French news agency AFP.

Russia announced the expulsion of the diplomats after Swedish authorities expelled five Russian diplomats in late April for “activities incompatible” with their diplomatic status. According to Moscow, this was an “openly hostile step by Stockholm”, which further aggravated the already bad bilateral relations.

11.17 Prigozhin: Wagner began handing over positions to the Russian army in Bahmut

Russian mercenary group Wagner has begun withdrawing its forces from Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine and handing over positions there to regular Russian troops, the head of Wagner said today Yevgeny Prigozhin. On Saturday, he claimed that his troops had captured the city after prolonged fighting, which was denied in Kyiv.

“We are withdrawing troops from Bahmut,” Prigozhin said in a video published today, in which he is in full combat gear and, among other things, talking to several members of Wagner. “From today at five in the morning until June 1, most of the units will be deployed to camps in the hinterland. We are handing over our positions to the Russian army,” he said.

“We are handing over positions, ammunition and everything else to the army,” Prigozhin said in a video posted on social media.

Prigozhin added that some of Wagner’s forces could remain if the regular units of the Russian army encountered problems, according to the French news agency AFP.

Over the past months, Wagner’s forces have led the offensive to capture Bahmut, the site of the longest and bloodiest fighting since the start of the war in Ukraine.

The Wagner Group and the Russian military said late last week that Bahmut had fallen, while Ukraine said its troops still controlled one area of ​​the devastated city and that fighting was continuing. At that time, Prigozhin also announced that he would hand over the positions of Wagner in Bahmut to the Russian army by June 1.
