The Russian MoD claimed: “Krasukha-S4 electronic warfare system crew neutralizes on-board radar of Ukrainian reconnaissance drone

The Krasukha is a Russian mobile, ground-based, electronic warfare system that entered service in 2014.

The Russian MoD did not specify where the footage was filmed.

The Russian bombing of a shopping mall in the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk has been described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as one of the “most brazen terrorist acts in European history.” Over 1,000 people are said to have been inside the building when it was hit by missiles.

The death toll has risen to 18 people, with another 59 injured and 25 being treated in hospital. Some 36 people are still unaccounted for.

President Zelenskyy has urged the United Nations to visit the site and has urged for Russia to be expelled as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, accusing the country of having become a “terrorist state.”

Russia claimed on Tuesday that it had hit a nearby weapons depot, with the explosion sparking the shopping mall blaze.

NATO is planning to boost its quick reaction forces from 40,000 troops to over 300,000 troops.
