British parts found in Russian drones used in deadly strikes on Ukraine, Zelensky claims
BRITISH parts were found in Russian drones used in deadly strikes on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed tonight.
More than 100,000 foreign parts, some Western-made, were found in 549 “weapons systems” fired on Ukraine over the weekend, he said.
These included microcomputers made in the UK.
The Ukrainian President called for further “effective” sanctions as a result of the discovery.
The UK Government said it took Ukraine’s accusations “incredibly seriously”.
Ukrainian drones struck Crimea’s Feodosia oil depot yesterday, in the territory Vladimir Putin annexed in 2014.
Drones hit the Feodosia gas storage site some 250 km behind the Russian frontline.
Flames billowed hundreds feet over the Kremlin controlled site, which holds up to 250,000 tons of fuel.
It was the latest strike on Russian oil infrastructure designed to choke fuel supplies to Russian forces.
Around half of Crimea’s petrol stations were already closed due to shortages.
Kyiv has hit more than half of Russia’s 38 biggest oil refineries this year sparking hours long queues at petrol stations and a Kremlin ban on exporting petrol.
Explosions were also reported at the Saki and Kacha airfields in occupied Crimea.
Ukraine said it hit an ammunition depot and the results were being assessed.
It comes after a wave of Russian attacks killed at least 12 over the weekend.
A hit in Lviv killed four.
Exactly how Ukraine CAN win war & defeat ‘paper tiger’ Russia after Trump’s shock U-turn – why it spells doom for Putin
By Patrick Harrington
EXPERTS have outlined specific steps along the road to victory – and emphasised that the West will have to step up if Trump’s new vision is to be realised.
Hamish de-Bretton Gordon said the key is for Ukraine to hammer those areas where it has been hurting Russia, and for the West to enable it to do so.
He told The Sun: “Ukraine’s deep operations informed by the Secret Service and Special Forces are having a real impact inside Russia.
“About 20 percent of the Russian oil industry has been severely damaged by these deep strikes.
“This has hit hard Russia’s ability to produced petrol for cars – fuel is in very short supply.”
In the most recent episode of Battle Plans Exposed, Philip Ingram told us that Ukraine is fighting an “oil war”.
He said: “It’s a highly strategic, calculated campaign to cripple the engine of Putin’s war.”
De-Bretton Gordon explained: “What America could do, what the West could do, is enable more of this from Ukraine.”
