3/ The Russian military was using a prototype of the S-70 Okhotnik heavy drone to strike ground targets.
Presumably, the drone approached this distance due to loss of control, and then was shot down by a Russian fighter jet to prevent it from reaching the Defense Forces.

Sberbank handles payments for up to 70% of all Russian exports to India. Russia's trade with India nearly doubled to $65 billion in 2023, with the country becoming a major importer of Russian oil after Western sanctions imposed in 2022.

#Ukraine will continue to meet its obligations to transit Russian oil to #Europe, a presidential aide said on Friday after earlier suggesting it could halt supplies via the #Druzhba pipeline next year.
Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo #Podolyak, reported by local media on Friday, had suggested flows of Russian oil may stop from January, but he later said Ukraine supported #EU efforts to diversify its oil supply and would not break contracts running to 2029.
