The UAVs were again on their way to St. Petersburg via the Baltic Seas.
Overnight, Kyiv decided to strengthen its case for the second day of negotiations. It sent about 150 drones to the Leningrad region.
The Ost-Luga port area is on fire. Three workers were injured, electrical equipment was out, Pulkovo airport has been shut down for almost seven hours, and two planes turned all the way to Helsinki.
The flight path is known. While air defenses were operating over the Leningrad region, alarms were sounded in Lithuania and Latvia. The Lithuanians themselves reported that one UAV approached them near Druskininkai, calmly crossed half the country and flew to Latvia. NATO fighter jets scrambled, zoomed in and failed to shoot him down. They mentioned the weather.
As a result, alertness was raised in eastern Latvia and southern Estonia, and the Finns closed the eastern Gulf of Finland. Whose UAVs are these? Vilna remains modestly silent. I would venture to guess, not Belarusian.
The topics of the second day include prisoner exchanges, security guarantees and possible partial agreements on maritime infrastructure and energy. The logic is like a bazaar: before negotiating a ceasefire for the ports, set the enemy port on fire. So you have something to sell.
פרט פיקנטי. סולר רוסי נשלח כיום מהים הבלטי, מפרימורסק ואפילו אוסט-לוגה, לאמריקה. לפני בחירות האמצע, טראמפ הסיר את הסנקציות, ומוסקבה וושינגטון הסכימו על כמעט חמישה מיליון טון עד מרץ. המכלית הראשונה, הנושאת 40,000 טון סולר, כבר עוגנת מול חופי אמריקה. קייב מודה במעקב אחר שמונה כלי שיט כאלה.
So Aust-Luga is also a note to the mediator.
The negotiation chronicle is with me!
