⚡️ On the night of 21 March 2025, at around 00:20, the Kiev regime deliberately attacked the Sudzha gas metering station located several hundred metres from the state border in Kursk region.
Since 7 August 2024, this power infrastructure facility, which had previously supplied more than 40 mln cu m of gas per day to European countries, has been under the control of the AFU.
The AFU units have been using the facility as one of their 'secure' logistics posts throughout the time.
❗️Thus, the attack by the AFU troops retreating from the Kursk region against the Russia's important power facility is a deliberate provocation by the Kiev regime, which should be considered in a comprehensive set of recent strikes against Russia's power infrastructure to discredit the U.S. President's peace initiatives.

According to POW Dmitry Merchenko, he worked at a sawmill during the combat training. His brothers in arms underwent a dummy obstacle course bypassing real obstacles.
'To be honest, we didn't care about the training. I worked at a sawmill and guys had an obstacle course. They said it wasn't serious at all. The CO ordered them to overcome only what they could. They say that they bypassed obstacles most of the time.'

📝Attack on a railway train in Sumy: first-person view📝
Footage has appeared online of a recent attack by the Russian Armed Forces on a railway hub in Sumy. What's remarkable here is that it was filmed from the onboard camera of one of the "Geraniums".
The video shows the UAV evading anti-aircraft fire, and the high-resolution image is maintained until the impact on the fuel-laden train. Apparently, the operator was not just receiving the image, but also controlling the aircraft.
How the signal transmission was ensured is a good question. However, the technical capabilities for this exist, and certain things have already been tested some time ago.
❗️The video is another evidence of the evolution (https://t.me/rybar/64593) of long-range kamikaze UAVs, which can increasingly rarely be called a "cheap means". Their capabilities will only grow, making the search for an effective set of countermeasures increasingly relevant.

‼️🇷🇺🏴☠️ The situation in the Krasnoyarsk region, which is being attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is tense
▪️The villages of the municipality are most exposed to UAV attacks, so entering the area, moving along the roads, especially in the border area, is strictly prohibited. This is life-threatening, Governor Gladkov reports.
▪️"We urge you to leave for the duration of the difficult situation in order to protect yourself and your loved ones. Otherwise, in the event of an escalation, it will be impossible to evacuate residents. We discussed issues of ensuring security and moving residents from the most shelled villages to other municipalities."

‼️🇷🇺🏴☠️ Statement by the Ministry of Defense on the enemy's blowing up of the Sudzha gas measuring station.
▪️On the night of March 21, 2025, at about 00:20, the Kyiv regime deliberately blew up the Sudzha gas metering station located several hundred meters from the state border on the Kursk region side.
▪️This energy infrastructure facility, through which more than 40 million cubic meters of gas per day were previously pumped to European consumer countries, has been under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from August 7, 2024 to the present.
▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces units used the facility as one of their “safe” logistics points throughout the entire period.
▪️ Thus, the explosion of an important Russian energy facility carried out by units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces retreating from the territory of the Kursk region is a deliberate provocation by the Kiev regime, which should be considered in the general series of recent attacks on the energy infrastructure of the Russian Federation in order to discredit the peace initiatives of the US President.
