Watch the happy home, watch for peace in China, and watch for peace in the world. Welcome to follow Daily Watch. Today (October 18), Today Watch talks about Russia, which is at the forefront of security issues.
At the critical moment, Russia, which has attracted much attention due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, ushered in two bad news and one good news.
A bad news is that the Russian military Su-34 fighter bomber crashed and 13 people died. Putin : Deep condolences to the families of the victims
Fires soar into the sky. From the picture, the crash of the Russian fighter plane caused a raging fire, surrounding the entire residential building. The tragic crash occurred in a residential area of Yesk City in northwest of Krasnodar Krai in Russia. The Russian Investigation Committee said on the 18th that the accident had killed 13 people.
According to TASS , this tragedy incident occurred on the night of the 17th local time. A Su-34 fighter bomber took off from the military airport of the southern Russian military region to perform training missions.
Shortly after taking off, an engine caught fire and then crashed in a residential area of Yeysk City. Two crew members successfully parachute to escape.
Unfortunately, the fighter jet hit the ground and caused a fire, which spread to a nearby nine-story residential building. The overburden area was once as high as more than 2,000 square meters, involving 17 households.
This incident alarmed Putin. According to the latest report from Russian News Agency on the 418th, Russian President's Press Secretary spokesman Peskov said that Russian President Putin expressed deep condolences to the families of the victims of the accident.
Su-34 mainly performs a variety of tasks such as ground tactical bombing and attack. It has high maneuverability, all-weather, supersonic and other performance. It is one of the advanced fighter aircraft currently equipped by the Russian army. It can launch air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and other weapons.
has played an important air strike mission many times in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Although the official release said it was a flight accident during training, it has to be said that it is not unrelated to the tense situation at that time. Although the pilot quickly parachuted and escaped, unfortunately 13 Russian residents paid their lives.
[Voiceover] This is an accident and even more a tragedy. Like Putin, who expresses deep condolences for this, all the peaceful people in the world who cherish their lives. Training will inevitably lead to accidents such as one and another, and it will be uncomfortable to sacrifice. Preparation for war is to stay away from war and keep the danger of war out of the country. I hope that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will end as soon as possible and that the people of Russia and Ukraine will restore a peaceful life as soon as possible.
The second bad news, Musk withdraws his request and will continue to provide Ukraine with free Starlink services
According to the latest news released by CNN (CNN), US space exploration technology company (SpaceX) has revoked the request previously filed with Pentagon to and ask the other party to pay for the operation fee of the "Starlink" project in Ukraine.
Previously, Musk had publicly stated that he had provided Ukraine with thousands of free sets of data to help the Ukrainian military analyze and process information on important military objectives of Russia.
Now, Musk made it clear that "SpaceX has withdrawn the funding application." This means that Ukraine will continue to receive free starlink support from the US side, which is not a good thing for Russia.
According to two U.S. officials, the Starlink project has been the "lifeline" in the Ukrainian crisis, and the Pentagon is considering paying for SpaceX's "Starlink" satellite network service. It can be seen how important Starlink services are to Ukraine, and also have a great destructive impact on Russia.
[Voiceover] From publicly asking the Pentagon to support Starlink service fees of up to tens of millions of dollars, to proactively declaring that it would give up funds to apply for free services, in the entire incident, neither the Pentagon nor Ukraine did not have most official responses, and there was only Musk's unilateral voice from beginning to end. It's really strange!
, especially Musk's change in attitude, is there any relationship between the Pentagon and , White House ? In any case, Musk and his Starlink Company have inevitably participated in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.This will not only make the situation more complicated, but will also make Musk face more involuntary risks and even catastrophes.
a good news! Russia and Ukraine have a large-scale "captive exchange": 110 Russian captured soldiers took the plane to return to China
This is good news for Russia and Ukraine.
With the largest "capture" operation between Russia and Ukraine, 110 Russian personnel released by Ukraine arrived at the Chikarovsky military airport in Moscow Prefecture on the 18th.
17, Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Russia and Ukraine had conducted a prisoner of war exchange. Russian website reported on the 18th that the Russian Ministry of Defense said that in the plan to exchange prisoners of war with Ukraine, a total of 110 Russian soldiers returned to Russia from Ukraine, including 72 civilian seafarers who have been detained in Ukraine since February this year.
"This is the first time that all prisoners of war are exchanged for women." Ukrainian Presidential Office Andrey Yermak said on social platforms that 108 Ukrainian women were released.
Originally, Russia and Ukraine exchanged 110 people, but two Ukrainian female soldiers said when they were included in the exchange list that they were unwilling to return to Ukraine and voluntarily stayed in Russia. Therefore, there were only 108 people released by Ukraine, which was two fewer than Russia.
[Voiceover] This is a vicious circle! On the one hand, Russia and Ukraine continue to exchange prisoners to allow the captured people to return to their motherland; on the other hand, the war is still continuing, and some people will be captured by both sides and leave their motherland, and there are even more people who will leave this world forever in conflict. Therefore, a ceasefire is the fundamental solution to the problem.
