EU commissioner comments on Russian drone strike on SBU building
European Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius on Saturday commented on a Russian drone striking the SBU building in Kyiv, saying that Russian ruler Vladimir Putin had brought the war back to Russia.
EU Commissioner highlighted the recent Russian drone strike on the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building in Kyiv. According to Ukrinform, a statement was made by the said commissioner on the social media platform X. The Russian President, Putin, is escalating the conflict in Ukraine, Kubilius stated, noting that this has led to the destruction of major refineries in Russia, loss of international flights, and now, a potential threat of Ukrainian drones being targeted at Russian offices.
President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that a Russian drone had hit the SBU's main building on Volodymyrska Street, which is located in central Kyiv, opposite St. Sophia's Cathedral. The strike was reportedly directed at the office of the SBU chief, Oleksandr Poklad. Serhii Beskrestnov, a freelance advisor to the president, explained that the Russian drone was controlled and guided online via a MESH radio repeater with internet access, which was activated by a Russian agent nearby for a brief period during the attack.
