SBU: Russia may stage crimes in Kursk Oblast to blame Ukraine
Russian special services may orchestrate provocations against civilians in Kursk Oblast to accuse Ukrainian Armed Forces

Russian special services are reportedly trying to exploit the situation in Kursk Oblast to falsely accuse the Ukrainian military of war crimes, with the possibility of provocations, according to a statement from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

"The Security Service of Ukraine is recording attempts by Russian special services to use the situation in Kursk Oblast for baseless accusations against Ukrainian defenders of committing war crimes," the statement reads.

To achieve this, Russia is creating and spreading fake news and false information that "have nothing to do with reality," law enforcement officials added.

Russian special services may soon stage crimes against civilians in Kursk Oblast to blame Ukraine, according to Ukrainian intelligence.

The SBU said these attempts are futile and will not affect the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces or the international community's attitude. Ukrainian military continues to adhere to the rules of war, particularly regarding the treatment of prisoners and civilians, law enforcement officials assured.

The Dzerzhinsky District Court of Kharkiv convicted a Russian citizen of disseminating information about the location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to court’s verdict. .

Since the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 1,000 people in the Kharkiv Oblast have received a notice of suspicion in proceedings over treason, collaboration, and dissemination of information about the movement of the Armed Forces.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine confirmed the presence of personnel and military equipment at the address provided by the man.

Ukraine can use German-provided weapons at its discretion – defense ministry
Weapons provided by Germany to Ukraine become the property of Ukraine from the moment of their transfer and Kyiv can use them as it deems necessary and correct.
German Defense Ministry spokesperson Arne Collatz said this at a briefing on Monday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

For the German Defense Ministry, there is no question of the legality of actions in the Kursk region: international law provides for the possibility of conducting military operations on the territory of the aggressor country for the sake of protecting one's own state, Collatz said. Therefore, according to him, this does not provide for any special conditions for the use of weapons provided by the Bundeswehr.

"After the weapons from Germany were handed over to Ukraine, they already belong to Ukraine, they are Ukrainian weapons... There are no obstacles, so Ukraine is free to choose its options," the officer said, adding that Ukraine is obliged to comply with international law.

Collatz clarified that the use of long-range weapons is a different, political issue.

The Ukrainian unit operating the British Stormer HVM anti-aircraft system has already managed to hit 70 air targets.

Soldiers of the 1129th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment say they have managed to do this in two years of full-scale war.

“I’ve been serving since 2022, and since then the unit has destroyed 70 drones: Zala, Supercam, Orlan-10, Orlan-30, Merlin-VR,” said the Stormer HVM operator.

In addition to the skill of the operators, this result was achieved thanks to the use of laser-guided anti-aircraft missiles, which, unlike missiles with an infrared seeker, do not need to lock on the target by thermal signature.
