The Kremlin has confirmed the use of Ukrainian attack drones in Donbass.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a conversation with Turkish President Recep Erdogan, confirmed information that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are using Bayraktar TB2 strike drones purchased earlier from Turkey in Donbass. The Russian leader expressed dissatisfaction with the actions of the Ukrainian military and called on his Turkish counterpart to influence Kiev, noting that by doing so, both Turkey and Ukraine are moving towards disrupting a peaceful settlement of the situation in Donbass.

“The Russian President drew attention to the fact that Kiev continues its destructive line aimed at disrupting the Minsk agreements. This is evidenced by the provocative activity of the armed forces of Ukraine in the conflict zone, including the use of unmanned attack vehicles "Bayraktar". The need was emphasized for Kiev to abandon any attempts to forcefully influence the Donbass ", - said in the message of the press service of the Kremlin.

In fact, this is the first official confirmation of data on the use of Turkish drones in Donbas. Until recently, this was denied in the LPR and DPR, noting that the video published by the Ukrainian military is fake.

At the moment, the reaction of Turkish President Recep Erdogan to the remark made remains unknown, although earlier in Ankara they already expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that Ukraine began to use drones in Donbass, calling them Turkish.
