The four provinces already had martial law in place when Russia accepted their bids, Putin said. The decree, which he expects parliament to ratify swiftly, will give the legal basis under Russian law for what is de facto happening on the ground, Putin added.

Alert regimes

In a separate decree, Putin ordered a “medium action level” in several other parts of western Russia. Those include the Crimean Republic, the city of Sevastopol, as well as Krasnodar, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk, and Rostov Regions.

The special regime gives regional officials additional authority to ensure security and react rapidly to any emergencies. Other Russian regions were put on “elevated” and “basic” levels, depending on their proximity to Ukraine. The administrations of the four regions under martial law will have a “maximum” level of additional authority.

Iran’s supreme leader lauds ‘dangerous’ drones

The remarks come amid allegations that Tehran is supplying Moscow with the UAVs being used in Ukraine

TriitNG:

Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has lauded the country’s “dangerous” drones and mocked the collective West for initially dismissing its UAV program as a propaganda stunt. The Supreme Leader made the remarks on Wednesday while speaking to Iranian academics and intellectuals.

TriitNG:

“When images of Iranian drones were published a few years ago, they would say they’re photo-shopped. Now they say Iranian drones are dangerous, why do you sell them to someone?” Khamenei said as quoted by local media.


foolish West

TriitNG:

Khamenei was apparently referring to widespread allegations that Tehran is supplying suicide drones to Russia amid the conflict with Ukraine. Moscow has been actively using the Geran-2 (Geranium-2) suicide drones in recent weeks to strike critical infrastructure and military targets in Ukraine. Footage of the drones and wreckage collected by the Ukrainians suggest that they closely resemble the Iranian-made Shahed-136.

TriitNG:

Kiev and some of its Western backers have directly accused Iran of supplying Geran-2 drones to Russia. Zelensky claimed last week that Russia had acquired as many as 2,400 of the UAVs.

TriitNG:

Both Moscow and Tehran, however, have denied such deliveries have taken place. On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said all the weaponry used in Ukraine comes from Russia’s domestic stockpiles.
