Moscow even ventures with a possible launch from a “grain transport ship” after analyzing the remains of the devices
MADRID, 30 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Russian Ministry of Defense published this Sunday an analysis of the remains of the drones that attacked the Crimean port of Sevastopol the day before, the results of which ratify the initial conclusions of the Russian authorities: they were launched from territory controlled by the Ukrainian Army, under British military supervision and contained Canadian-made components.
“The drones launched from the Odessa region,” the Ministry of Defense assured, “also made part of their journey along the grain export corridor.”
Russia announced its withdrawal from the agreement for the export of cereals from Ukrainian ports in retaliation for this attack, while Ukraine and the United Kingdom have categorically denied their participation in this incident. The attack on Sevastopol was carried out, according to Moscow, with 16 unmanned aerial and marine vehicles, which caused some damage to a minesweeper ship and parts of the port.
The Russian Defense Ministry says it has now analyzed a navigation receiver found among the wreckage whose data shows that the launch was made specifically “near” the Odessa coast, possibly “from a civilian ship transporting agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.”
“According to experts, this starting point may indicate a preliminary launch of this device from one of the civilian ships chartered by kyiv or its Western sponsors for the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian seaports,” according to the Ministry statement, collected by the TASS agency.
This statement is an implicit accusation against Ukraine, which I would point to for using these ships leaving its ports as a launch pad for these devices.
