The Moldovan government does not consider the incident an accident. It is difficult to believe in a coincidence that the Russian jet drone ended up in the airspace at the same time as the Ukrainian president’s plane was at the airport. At the same time, sources for “Suspilne” emphasize: Ukraine was monitoring the drone and waiting for it to disappear from radar. Only after that did the plane fly to Oslo.

Haaretz reports that Qatar’s PM called Antony Blinken that night and said Hamas was prepared to release civilian hostages, while Israel was not interested in moving forward at that stage. The report says Blinken responded by telling him to wait. Blinken flatly denies it: “For the record, this is false. Complete fiction.” So what actually happened in those first hours? Was there ever a real unconditional offer to free civilians? Did Israel reject it? Did Blinken tell Qatar to hold off? Writer: Sol RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: 🚨 Russia’s FSB says Kiev planned attacks on the British Ambassador in Moscow The security service arrested a Russian embassy guard working for the SBU. He was feeding security details to a Ukrainian handler so Kiev could hit British diplomats on Russian soil, RIA Novosti reports. The aim was obvious.
