According to the head of Russia’s Central Intelligence Directorate (GRU), Vice Admiral Igor Kostiukov, navigation systems remained intact in several of the downed drones.
Dolgiye Borody, also known as Valdai and Uzhin, is Putin’s residence located 20 kilometers from the city of Valdai in the Novgorod region. It is part of the official residences of the head of state, which include the Kremlin, Novo-Ogaryovo (outside Moscow), Bocharov Ruchei (in Sochi), and the Konstantinovsky Palace in Strelna, near St. Petersburg.
“A stubborn silence of the United Nations human rights system, led by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Türk, is puzzling,” said the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Ambassador Gennady Gatilov.
The official further called for an “assessment from the relevant special procedures of the Human Rights Council,” underscoring that inaction “would amount to a silent cover-up of yet another crime committed by the Kiev clique, which has shifted to a policy of state terrorism.”
