Zelenskyi: “The world will remember this”
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi reported on Telegram on Saturday that Russia used an Iranian Shahed drone in the attack.
– Such Shahed attacks have no military sense and no sense at all. This is terrorism with the pure purpose of killing and instilling fear.
Zelenskyi also said in the same message that Western arms aid is critical to saving lives. He did not understand the delay of the military aid at all.
– The world has enough anti-missile systems that can protect against Shahed drones. Unfortunately, delaying arms aid leads to such losses and a continued increase in the number of children killed by Russia.
– Human lives are lost, but the partners just play internal politics and argue, which limits our defense. It is impossible to understand and impossible to accept. It is also impossible to forget, and the world will remember this, Zelenskyi thundered.
The drone hit St. Petersburg
Russian media Fontanka reported that at least one drone fell in St. Petersburg on Saturday morning. According to preliminary information, the drone hit an apartment building in St. Petersburg.
Locals noticed a flash and a bang in the Krasnogvardeisk district.
The window panes and balconies of the apartment building were damaged in the explosion. At the same time, the neighboring house and some cars in the yard were damaged. The governor of the region Alexander Beglov tells Fontaka that no one died in the explosion.
Six people resorted to first aid and one elderly person was transported to the hospital.
According to Fontanka, no one lived in the apartment that was hit, and the risk of further damage was reduced by the fact that the apartment had been disconnected from the gas heating network.
It is believed that the target of the drone was initially a nearby oil storage.
Intelligence sources: Russia probably grounded its spy plane
The British Ministry of Defense says in X, that Russia has possibly grounded its A-50 radar. The reason for this is probably that Ukraine has shot down two valuable reconnaissance planes in a short period of time.
Ukraine managed to destroy the A-50 the first time at the end of January and the second time a month later. Now Russia will figure out how to better protect the precious machines.
The British Ministry of Defense estimates that Russia is currently looking for other ways to collect information from the air. The A-50s are also old and suffer from wear and tear. Crew fatigue under heavy pressure is also a problem in Russia, the Ministry of Defense estimates in its press release.
Russia may import decommissioned A-50s to solve these problems.
Head of Military Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov told Ukrainska Pravda that Russia has only six A-50s since the latest downing.

Seventy two firearms and more than 3,000 bullets were seized during a search of the French actor’s home Alain Delonannounced today the public prosecutor’s office, which launched an investigation into illegal gun possession.
The 88-year-old movie star, who is seriously ill, “did not have any permit that would allow him to possess a weapon,” states prosecutor Jean-Kendre Go, in a press release.
The investigation was carried out last Thursday following a report by the supervising judge on February 8: the authorized representative, who is in charge of the legal protection of Alain Delon, found, during a visit, that the actor was in possession of a weapon, explains the prosecutor.
It also established the existence of a shooting range within the actor’s property, collector firearms. Delon had sold his gun collection at auction in 2014.
Having made rare appearances on the big screen since the late 1990s, Alain Delon made headlines in the summer of 2023 when his three children filed a lawsuit against his partner Hiromi Rolen, alleging abuse of his infirmity.
Since the end of January, the actor, who suffers from lymphoma, has been placed under the regime of judicial protection. Justice has appointed a legal representative tasked with helping him during his medical follow-up, which is at the center of a bitter dispute between Anthony’s three children, Anouska and Alain-Fabian.
The issue of the presence of weapons inside Delon’s property, where the actor had said he would like to end his life, was at the center of new accusations between Anouska and Anthony.
“The worst,” explains his daughter actor in an interview with Elle magazine, “is that although Anthony and Alain-Fabian know I hate guns—my father liked them, a kind of masculinity from another age, he had a collection, they walk around the house armed (…). My brothers believe in the Wild West.”
The eldest son of the family soon responded with a post on Instagram, calling his sister’s interview “pernicious”.
“Let’s talk about firearms,” he replied. “You spent the summer shooting a Glock (pistol) with your lover, a former member of the GIGN (elite gendarmerie unit) and Duchy’s head of security, in order to return the pistol to your home in Geneva, as you remembered dad. For someone who shakes weapons, you seem very brave and gifted, according to him.’
“As far as I’m concerned, I’ve been walking around armed for a long time now, and I’ve sorted out this ridiculous identification problem that has cost me dearly in the past,” he added.
