Now we hear about spy balloons in the war in Ukraine. Following the sighting and shooting down of unidentified flying objects in the US airspace, with the US government’s claims against China, Ukraine’s defense reported that spy balloons were dropped over the capital Kiev. The information has not yet been confirmed, but it mentions balloons used by the Russians to transport equipment or spy on Ukrainian defense systems.

Ukrainian state television reported that during the latest air raid alert, six targets were intercepted and most hit over Kiev. “During the warning, about six air targets were registered in the Kiev airspace, most of which were hit by air defense systems,” the city government said.
“According to unconfirmed information, these could have been balloons capable of carrying reconnaissance equipment, perhaps launched to detect anti-aircraft defenses,” he said, referring to the military administration of the city of Kiev.
On the field, the fierce struggle for Bakhmut continues in Donbass. According to various analysts, in the coming weeks, the Ukrainians may try to hit the Russian lines, which are considered to be more fragile, in the Luhansk region, where the morale of the existing enemy troops is considered more low. However, other analysts agree on one thing: the Kremlin can afford to throw large numbers of people into battle and inflict huge losses without real large-scale social consequences for now.
Meanwhile, vigilance is rising among Ukrainian forces for a new, imminent, large-scale Russian offensive. According to intelligence sources, Moscow has begun deploying tactical nuclear-armed ships and submarines in the Baltic Sea and is massing its warplanes on the Ukrainian border.
