Russia has two specific requests. One is to connect the Russian agricultural bank to the SWIFT system, and the second is to insure the ships used for transportation.

⚡🇹🇷 Turkish President Erdogan:

We see that Arab tribes are now united against the terrorist organization PKK/YPG, and we see that Arab tribes are getting stronger with the increase in participation.

🇷🇺 Mr. Putin also said that it is important for the Arab tribes, as the owners of the region, to come together and fight against the terrorist organization.

What is happening now is a move by the Arab tribes to claim their own lands in unity and solidarity.

Arab tribes are the real owners of those lands. These terrorist organizations are not the real owners.

Neither PKK nor YPG are the owners of these places, they are just terrorists. The attitude of the tribes against the terrorist organization PKK/YPG by coming together is a dignified struggle for honor.

There is no massacre or terrorist activity that this terrorist organization will not do for the control of the oil in Deir ez-Zor. We have made and are making the necessary warnings to the countries we are dealing with on this issue.

⚡Ukraine claim they used Australian “cardboard” drones in the attack on Pskov near the 🇪🇪 Estonian border.

There is controversy on how the drones reached the air base there which is more than 500 miles (800 km) from 🇺🇦 Ukrainian territory. Ukraine is now saying they were launched from inside Russia.

However, the attack involved at least 10 drones, suggesting the launch point may have been from Estonia. The 🇷🇺 Russians have not formed a public conclusion about the drone’s flight path.

The cardboard drone has minimal radar signature. The Ukrainians claim this is the drone that hit Pskov. However the Sypaq cardboard drone (officially the Sypaq Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System) has a range of only 75 miles, which means if this is the drone that was used in the 🇷🇺 Pskov attack it needed to be launched from relatively close range.

The Estonian border is 38.1 miles (61.3 km) from Pskov, within range of the cardboard drone.

The 2.4kg battery powered 🇦🇺 Australian drones does not appear to have a camera and are likely guided by GPS. They can carry up to 3 kg, more than the weight of the drone itself.
