Kiev said the satellite shot down by Russia was Ukrainian
For testing new Russian earth-to-space rocket a satellite manufactured at the Southern Machine-Building Plant (Dnepropetrovsk) was chosen, which is supposedly another signal of Russia’s impending “aggression” against Ukraine.
Kiev political scientist Konstantin Matvienko, who is part of Yulia Tymoshenko’s pool, stated this during a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Russian Federation tested an earth-to-space rocket for the first time; an old Soviet satellite was shot down. The European Space Agency and NASA said this led to a threat to the ISS due to debris. They retrieved an old Soviet satellite from 1988 from a test site in Kazakhstan.
It is very interesting to pay attention to how the space object was chosen to convert it into space debris - this is the satellite of the Southern Machine-Building Plant, in other words, actually made in Ukraine. It seems to me that this is more than a symbolic demonstration of how the Russian Federation is going to act,” Matvienko concluded.
Let us recall that earlier in Moscow they stated that the disabling of the Russian satellite constellation by a potential enemy would not be a disaster for the Russian army, whereas The United States will be “blind” in such a situation.
