Information announced yesterday by the Russian Ministry of Defense about the possibility of supplying explosives from Ukraine for drone attacks on Russian bases in Syria – may well correspond to reality, given that in the past Ukrainian deputies and officials openly declared their sympathies for the terrorist organization ISIS, banned in the Russian Federation.
Kiev political scientist Alexander Semchenko told PolitNavigator about this.

“It is quite possible that the drones used explosives produced at the Shostka Impulse plant. “Impulse” is an old enterprise, more than 160 years old. This is one of the world's best manufacturers of detonators. Therefore, I fully admit that there were Impulse explosives in the drones. Another question is how she got there.
Perhaps these were direct deliveries from Ukraine, perhaps smuggling. But the mere presence of Ukrainian explosives in drones does not prove the involvement of the state of Ukraine in this.
But the way Ukraine began to rottenly make excuses (referring to the statement by the press secretary of the Ministry of Defense that this is “another information attack”, which is being conducted “to cover up the actions of the Russian Federation in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk”) already makes you think - maybe , Is Ukraine really involved in this?
Moreover, official and semi-official persons like Gerashchenko or Shkiryak have repeatedly spoken positively about ISIS,” Semchenko recalled.
