The fighting in Ukraine continues unabated , with the Kiev Navy announcing in the last few hours that it had knocked out the large Russian landing ship Kostyantyn Olshansky, which the Russian Federation had stolen from Kiev in 2014, with a Neptune missile. The national media reported it.

Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk said that "in addition to two large amphibious ships - the Yamal and the Azov and the reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs - the Kostyantyn Olshansky was also damaged ." «We had no choice. We used a Neptune and the damage was inflicted," he said.

And while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba in an interview with Politico emphasizes the need to receive air defense systems, namely the Patriots , to protect the country and citizens from destruction, the words of spokesman Dmitry Peskov come from the Kremlin, according to It is still too early to talk about what Russia's reaction will be if Ukraine's participation in Friday's attack on Crocus City Hall in Moscow is proven. «An investigation is underway – Peskov specified – it would not be correct to make hypothetical speculations at this moment».

Yesterday President Vladimir Putin said that Russia knows who carried out the attack, i.e. "Islamic extremists", but also warned that investigations continue to discover "the instigators" and once again evoked a possible role for Ukraine .

Meanwhile, the Moscow Court, which is dealing with the Crocus City Hall massacre , has turned the detention of an eighth suspect in the attack into arrest . This is Alisher Kasimov, originally from Kyrgyzstan but a Russian citizen. The man is accused of having rented an apartment to the alleged terrorists , but he said he did so without knowing who they were.
