The Ukrainian military attacked on June 1 an industrial area in the city of Krasnodon in the Lugansk People’s Republic with Storm Shadow missiles, wounding several people, the head of the republic, Leonid Pasechnik, said.
This was the first use of the British-Franco missile by Ukraine in several weeks. The attack came following a deadly act of sabotage that targeted two civilian trains in the Russian regions of Kubyryansk and Kursk. It also coincided with an unprecedented drone attack on bomber bases in the regions of Irkutsk, Ryazan, Murmansk, Ivanovo and Amur.
“Today, the peaceful city of Krasnodon in the republic’s rear areas was attacked by Ukrainian troops. The criminal Kiev regime uses long-range European-made weapons. The shelling attack was staged with the use of Storm Shadow missiles targeting an industrial area. Nearby multi-apartment buildings and single-family houses were damaged, several people were hurt,” Pasechnik wrote on his Telegram channel.
“This another act of aggression by the criminal Kiev authorities committed ahead of the talks in Istanbul reveals Ukraine’s intention to continue the war. Unable to take the blow on the battlefield, they are acting as terrorists opting to fight against civilians,” he added.
Photos from the scene of the attack in Krasnodon;s industrial area showed the remains of at least one Storm Shadow missile.

The Storm Shadow is a low-observable, long-range, air-launched cruise missile developed in the 1990s by Matra and British Aerospace, and now manufactured by MBDA. The missile features a GPS-aided inertial navigation system with a terrain profile matching system. For terminal guidance, it is equipped with an imaging infrared scene-mapping area correlator system.
The maximum range of the Storm Shadow is 560 kilometers. However, Ukraine received the downgraded export version with a range of 250 kilometers. The Ukrainian Air Force has reportedly integrated the 1,300 kg cruise missile on its Soviet-era Su-24 fighter bombers.
The recent escalation by the Kiev regime is apparently meant to sabotage the next round of direct talks with Russia, which is set to be held on June 2 in Turkey.

why don’t russians turn off all the gps transmitters? is it because they have a deal with the americans? or is it because all russian domestic aircraft use western electronics and gps? like everything else in modern russia it is all very strange and inexplicable.
why do you still peddle bullshit ? is it because you are bought and paid by mi6 ? probably. go to gaza and enjoy being an enabler of genocide like the good westernoid you are.
sorry, but its russia which enables that genocide, by not come clean about the ethnicity of the germans occupying palestine, and the conversion of khazars to judaism. adolf hitler rothschild was half khazar.
sadly, you are partly correct.
what “gps transmitters”? maybe you meant transponders? but anyway, russia doesn’t use gps. they’ve got their own “glonass” system.
the guy pretends he is on russia’s side but somehow take the propaganda of the west at face value, even when it has been regularly absurd and incoherent (russian shooting on themselves or blowing their own pipeline as the most grotesque examples). very bad bullshitter in my book.
it would still be advisable to find a way to block any signals getting to ukraine. the usa jam anything and shut down any communications when they attack a country and dont tell me yugoslavia and iraq were third world countries.
stupid statements, especially from a bot.
russia. speaking as an american who has watched his country’s treachery most of his existence the worst of which was done after the gulf war and the beginning of our end being the “attacks of 9/11” as cover for the worst lies next to the assassination of jfk… do whatever it takes and is necessary to cut the head off of this $nake!…
… it is clear they want their roi for 11 years in your neighborhood and will never take a back seat on the world stage with their currency. you’ve been far too passive for too long. finish the job no matter what it takes. because the american people certainly don’t give a $hit what their government does in their names.
no, they are happy if it should be 201, or 202 people genocided. russians, and the jews, the palestinian.
from the “j” of dimon$… “big bank boss urges america to ‘stockpile bullets, not bitcoin'”
“teaser image
“we should be stockpiling guns, bullets, tanks, planes, drones, you know, rare earths. we know we need to do it. it’s not a mystery,”….
i rest my case!…
p$
good luck mr. dim0n getting those “rare earths” in the eastern half of russia aka “the border”!
they will never be happy , a psychopath is never happy .
i wonder what the people who run the nuclear clock are thinking today ?
search and watch “jewish revisionnist david cole visit auschwitz. 1992.”
russia should pull out of that istanbul circus and just destroy kiev.
yes and no just shut everything in ukraine down like the usa do whenever they attack a country.
russia penetrated deeply again!
heheheh
ukraine and nato still losing the war.
british storm shadows being fired up poohtin’s ass today!
putin enjoys much anal-penetration…heheheh…
why don’t you come try to penetrate my anus, tough guy?
whatever games the sub-85 iq propaganda peddlers play, they are still losing the war.
sniggering jew.
ur mum took a storm shadow in her arse…. didn’t even notice….
i’m really, really, really sure that the timing of these attacks is pure “coincidence” and has nothing at all to do with the negotiations in istanbul tomorrow.
ukraine does not stop directly attacking russia making russia look weak. ukraine seems will never stop and do not want to negotiate.
at a point, there will no more people willing/able to fight russia and/or they will revolt and take matters into their hands. as for attacking russia, most of these attacks achieve nothing. to the point when one flashy attack succeeds, the propagandist blow it out of proportion.
ukies defeated demoralized betrayed by moron anglos now can do nothing but accept russian victory
i think russia has to do some serious damage to ukraine, without too many human casualties. i think of blowing up the dam near kyiv, which would turn kyiv into a kind of venice.
russian existence in threat with putin in control and making unilateral decisions alone.
superhuman putin governing a 17 million square kilometers country alone … another victim of the western bs machine.
starmer will soon be kicked out as uk prime minister. the economy is falling apart and in any popularity contest he would lose hands down to a skunk. but at least he will be able to spend more time with his ukie rent boys.
wow russia has become a laughing stock, even floating little city britain is target practicing.
