A video circulated on Telegram purports to show a Ukrainian P1-Sun drone intercepting and destroying an Iranian Shahed drone in the Middle East theater. The specific location, date, and operational context remain unconfirmed. If authenticated, this would represent Ukrainian air defense operations beyond the primary Ukraine-Russia conflict zone.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that Russia has issued an ultimatum requiring Ukraine to withdraw its military forces from Donbas within two months. The claim originates from a Telegram source and has been machine-translated, creating uncertainty about exact wording and context. If confirmed, this represents a significant escalation in Russian demands and suggests active negotiations or pressure campaign.
Russian Investigative Committee Chair Aleksandr Bastrykin claims Ukrainian military officers including GUR Chief Budanov and drone forces commander Brody directed a drone strike on civilian facilities in Khorly, Kherson region, killing 29 people on New Year's Eve. The allegations name Col. Andrey Dzyanyy as field commander. Claims remain unverified by independent sources and reflect Russian investigative positions during active conflict.
