It started? Sabotage carried out in Moscow

Members of the "Atesh" movement, composed of Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars who carry out sabotage in the territories under Russian control and in Russia itself, and whom the Ukrainian media call partisans, claim to have cut off the communication of several Russian military units after destroying equipment in a substation in the Moscow region.

This was announced by the Kyiv Independent, which recalls that the Kremlin has invited numerous foreign leaders to the May 9 Victory Day military parade in Moscow, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is on a three-day visit to Russia until Saturday.

"An agent of the 'Atesh' movement successfully carried out sabotage in the village of Mogiltsi in the Moscow region, destroying the equipment in the substation that provided electrical and telecommunication infrastructure in that area," writes the post of "Atesh" on Telegram, Kurir reported.

.

The village of Mogiltsi is located about 45 kilometers northeast of Moscow, where foreign officials will attend the celebration on Red Square tomorrow.

"The interruption of communication was recorded in several important military facilities, including: the 629th anti-missile defense regiment (military unit 51857), the 21st special operational brigade (military unit 3641), as well as the military town where military units 20007, 03523 and 51084 are located," Atesh claims.

The Kyiv Independent also stated that it cannot independently confirm these claims.

It is recalled that partisans from "Atesh" regularly carry out sabotage in Russia and in parts of Ukraine under Russian control.

On May 3, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that his country cannot guarantee the safety of foreign officials who will attend the Russian military parade in Moscow.

"Russia is responsible for ensuring security on its territory. They are responsible for your security. We will not provide any guarantees, because we do not know what Russia could do in those days," Zelensky said at the time.

Also, during yesterday, members of the Ukrainian army carried out drone attacks on the territory of Russia, as a result of which airports in Moscow were closed, and numerous flights were either canceled or diverted.

This posed a serious problem precisely because world officials started arriving in the capital of Russia yesterday.
