US intelligence chief: Russia unlikely to be able to mount a "significant offensive" this year in Ukraine

From CNN's Michael Conte

Russia will likely not be able to mount a “significant offensive operation this year” due to munitions and manpower shortages — whether or not the Ukrainian counteroffensive is successful, according to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.

“In fact, if Russia does not initiate a mandatory mobilization and secure substantial third-party ammunition supplies beyond existing deliveries from Iran and others, it will be increasingly challenging for them to sustain even modest offensive operations,” Haines testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Putin “probably” has scaled back his near-term ambitions in Ukraine to consider a victory “to consolidate control of the occupied territory in eastern and southern Ukraine, and ensuring that Ukraine will never become a NATO ally,” Haines added.

Despite this assessment, Haines said it wasn't very likely that Russia negotiates a pause this year unless political factors "alter his thinking."

Haines also noted that Russian forces are preparing “new defensive positions” for the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and have “gained less territory in April than during any of the three previous months.”

Russia has been accused of staging an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin that it blamed on Ukraine (and the U.S., according to the latest comments from the Kremlin Thursday) with analysts saying it's likely Moscow carried out the incident itself.

Ukraine denied any involvement in the incident that purportedly involved two drones, saying it more likely signaled that Russia was planning a large-scale terrorist attack against Ukraine in the coming days.

The White House also denied any involvement in the incident with National Security Council spokesman John Kirby saying the U.S. did not encourage nor enable Ukraine to strike outside its borders. He told MSNBC "we certainly don't dictate to them the terms by which they defend themselves, or the operations they conduct."

During a visit to the Netherlands, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his Russian counterpart President Vladimir Putin must be brought to justice for the war in Ukraine, calling for the creation of a war crimes tribunal separate to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Israeli missile detection system is being tested: Ukraine

Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel says an Israeli-designed missile detection system is being tested in Kyiv and may be activated within two months.

Ambassador Yevgen Korniychuk said the system, fed with data from Ukrainian radars, is now being tested.

“It allows for identifying the different objects, including ballistic missiles, and calculates where they will go and basically that allows us to close certain parts of the country rather than the whole country,” he told the Reuters news agency, referring to the air-shelter orders current being issued when under attack.

When complete, the system will warn residents of areas about to be struck by Russian missiles or drones, either by sounding sirens nearby or with alerts on mobile phones, he said.

Last year, Israel agreed to share technologies with Ukraine but has not agreed to Kyiv’s requests for weaponry.

The Kremlin publicly accuses the U.S. of being directly behind drone attack/attempted assassination of President Putin

04 MAY 2023

The Kremlin has accused the US of being behind an "assassination attempt" on Vladimir Putin yesterday.
According to President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, Moscow is considering "various" options in response to the Wednesday morning drone attack on the Kremlin, which it accuses Ukraine of orchestrating "under the dictate of Washington."
Washington is "definitely" behind the alleged assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin yesterday, the Kremlin has said.
Moscow claimed two drones attempted to attack the Kremlin, but were disabled and failed to cause any damage.
Russia has multiple response options, it said, but declined to comment on whether Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a legitimate target.
The Kremlin claimed the US was selecting the targets and Ukraine was merely implementing American plans, without providing evidence.
John Kirby, the National Security Council’s Coordinator for Strategic Communications, called accusations from Russia that the US directed Ukraine to carry out an alleged Kremlin drone attack and assassination attempt on President Vladimir Putin "ridiculous."
For Kyiv and Washington to try to disown the incident was "absolutely ridiculous", the Kremlin said.
Mr. Zelenskyy has denied that Kyiv had anything to do with the incident.
Some experts have suggested Moscow itself could have created the incident as a false flag operation, intended to boost Russian support for the war.
Moscow warns of 'imminent and inevitable punishment' for alleged drone attack.
“Moscow is considering a variety of options for responding to the Ukrainian attack on the Kremlin, we can only talk about well-thought-out steps that correspond to the interests of the country. The attack of Ukrainian drones on the Kremlin is now being investigated.

John Kirby: US does not allow Ukraine to strike outside its borders The National Security Council's strategic communications coordinator called the allegations "ridiculous," CNN reports.

Kremlin accuses Ukraine of trying to assassinate Putin

Russia says it downed two drones that were targeting the Kremlin in Moscow last night and accused Ukraine of attempting to kill President Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin said the drones were disabled by special services using electronic radar assets.

Mr Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the state news agency, adding there was no material damage to buildings.

Ukraine says it is making no comment.

Unverified footage on Russian social media showed smoke over central Moscow in the early hours of Wednesday.

In a statement, the Kremlin said: "Last night, the Kyiv regime attempted to carry out a strike on the Kremlin residence of the President of the Russian Federation with unmanned aerial vehicles."

It said it regarded this "as a planned terrorist act and an assassination attempt on the president", and Russia "reserves the right to take retaliatory measures wherever and whenever is deemed necessary".

Mr Putin had not been hurt and his schedule would continue as normal, the statement said. Fragments of the drones had fallen on the Kremlin site but no-one had been hurt, it said.

The Kremlin also noted the incident had come shortly before Russia's 9 May Victory Day parade, which foreign dignitaries were expected to attend.

The Ukrainian presidential office told the BBC it was not commenting at this time.

Ukraine wana uwezo mkubwa wa kushambulia high value targets mpaka huko Kremlin.

Hata Putin hayupo salama kwa sasa.

Hicho kidrone hakina explosives za kuleta maafa hivyo ni kujisumbua kukituma kushambulia critical area, shambulizi kama la Kherson bridge ndio lilikuwa linamaanisha. Au hata la Moskva.

Putin halali Kremlin akiwa Moscow makazi yake ni Nova Ogaryovo
