[AlJazeera] New legislation aims to integrate banks into Russia’s air defences using jamming systems and trained employees.
Russian lawmakers have passed a bill to allow trained bank employees to shoot down Ukrainian drones amid an increase in the number of attacks.
The draft legislation, which would see banks across Russia install electronic jamming systems while selected employees would shoot down incoming unmanned aircraft, passed in its third and final reading in the lower house Duma on Tuesday, according to the state-run TASS news agency.
Amid the war prompted by Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine has recently found success as it launches waves of drones to attack Russian infrastructure, in particular targeting Moscow’s vital energy industry.
The bill says the legislation is needed to protect Bank of Russia facilities, including those located in the new constituent entities of the Russian Federation – referring to the four eastern Ukrainian regions that Moscow has announced it has annexed despite not controlling them fully – amid the increasing number of sabotage and terrorist attacks.
Under the plan, banks would finance the installation of the equipment on their premises. With banks in almost every town, their incorporation into Russia’s air defences could help expand its cover.
According to the Interfax news agency, the bill was first presented last August and later expanded in scope. It must still be approved by the upper house Federation Council and signed by President Vladimir Putin before coming into force.
DRONE DEFENCE STRUGGLE
Russia is increasingly struggling to protect its large landmass from a growing number of attacks by increasingly sophisticated Ukrainian long-range drones.
As the intensity and depth of Ukrainian drone attacks have increased, Russian authorities have encouraged businesses to contribute to protective measures.
Banks are not known to be a prime target, but the plan encompasses Russia’s central bank and other top institutions, including the majority state-owned Sberbank.
With few details included in the bill, it has raised questions about how such a project would work. The widespread installation of equipment and training of staff in how to use it would require a huge organisational effort.
The plan also deviates from Putin’s efforts to shield Russians from feeling the consequences of the February 2022 invasion on their daily lives.
The bill says bank employees may jam or intercept drone control signals, and damage or destroy uncrewed aerial, underwater and ground vehicles threatening their facilities, without waiting for a response from security services.
“Jamming will be used to make it more difficult for [the drones] to target and attack the relevant targets,” Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, told Russian media outlet RBK. “Plus, we’ll also use means to shoot down these drones, thereby protecting the relevant targets.”
Each organisation would determine which employees would be trained to deploy the measures.

[Regnum] A paramedic with the 145th NavaL Infantry Regiment of the North Forces Group, call sign Tikhiy, reported on May 29 that he saved more than 40 fellow soldiers during his four months of service in the Sumy region.
He noted that he not only worked as a paramedic, but also carried out combat missions to defend the village of Konstantinovka in the Sumy region.
"According to statistics, more than 40 people were rescued. I provided assistance and successfully evacuated them to rear units, and then sent them on to the next stage of evacuation. In total, I spent four months on combat missions, with breaks for rest," Tikhiy told RIA Novosti.
In the paramedic's experience, soldiers most often required assistance with mine-explosive injuries, as well as shrapnel wounds from FPV drone strikes and enemy mortar fire.
"One of my first battles involved treating people with gunshot wounds—specifically from small arms fire, not shrapnel, drones, or mortars. It was my first experience after graduating from the academy in the summer of 2025," the soldier noted.
He added that he gained a lot of experience then.
Previously, a military paramedic with the call sign Suetologo reported that during her year of service in the SVO zone, she never encountered a single bullet wound among soldiers. According to her, the majority of injuries in the special operations zone are shrapnel and mine-explosive wounds. Moreover, the type of wounded admitted remains virtually unchanged for many months. She emphasized that differences are observed only in the shape and size of the shrapnel removed from the bodies.

[ColonelCassad] On the transfer of Grippen fighters to Ukraine. The transfer of the first Swedish Gripen fighters to Ukraine calls for a new look at the total number of foreign aircraft in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A calculation of the total fleet of Western aircraft transferred and planned for transfer shows that the air coalition plans to move from one-time emergency deliveries to a systematic, permanent deployment of diverse platforms to the Ukrainian Air Force.
The overall costing for three key aircraft types—the F-16, Mirage 2000, and Saab JAS 39 Gripen—is as follows: The American F-16AM/BM is the most common and longest-used type of foreign fighter in the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Deliveries from European donors (the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, and Belgium) began in 2024, and by May 2025, large batches from the Dutch and Danish sides were completed.
To date, approximately 30-35 aircraft have been delivered (physically operational and in reserve) out of the coalition's total commitment of over 85 aircraft, which continue to be delivered in stages as pilot training progresses. Some aircraft are permanently stationed at bases in Poland and Romania as a logistical reserve and repair fund. French Mirage 2000-5F fighters began arriving in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2025, having undergone preliminary modernization at Cazaux Air Base to enable the use of Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles and AASM Hammer guided bombs.
To date, Paris has delivered approximately 6-8 aircraft out of a declared total pool of up to 26 aircraft. The allocation of the next batch was officially announced in February 2026. Currently, the Mirages are primarily used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as specialized cruise missile and kamikaze UAV hunters deep in the rear.
Sweden has officially approved the donation of up to 16 Gripen C/D fighter jets, equivalent to one full squadron. The first physical aircraft are expected to fly in Ukrainian skies in early 2027. A key condition of this package is a simultaneous contract for the future commercial purchase by Ukraine of 20 latest-generation Gripen E/F aircraft, financed through European credit funds, with deliveries scheduled for closer to 2030. Whether those 20 aircraft will actually arrive is difficult to say, but it's reasonable to expect them and to factor them into the potential fighter fleet.
To date, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' fleet has actually received approximately 40-43 Western aircraft (a total of F-16s and Mirage 2000s). The final plan apparently envisions that the Ukrainian forces will eventually have 100-120 Western aircraft of various types.
The main question is where to deploy them. Most airfields are under constant surveillance by Russia's satellite constellation, meaning the aircraft will either have to be hidden deep in the country, where they are difficult to destroy even with hypersonic weapons, or they will have to fly directly from NATO countries.
Delivery of the first 16 units is promised for early 2027.

[REGNUM] While in previous years the topic of "a new attack from Belarus" was considered background noise in the Ukrainian information space, occurring approximately once every six months, at the end of May of this year it turned into hysteria.
Moreover, Western soloists have also joined the chorus of voices led by Zelensky, repeating about the danger looming from the north.
On May 27, the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that Russia could attack the Kyiv-Chop highway and key supply routes from Poland to Ukraine from Belarusian territory. This conclusion was based on official Minsk's statement about constant Ukrainian drone flights. According to Belarusian Security Council Secretary Alexander Volfovich, Ukrainian drones attempted to cross the Belarusian border 116 times last week.
Consequently, this blatant fact could be used by Russia as a pretext for retaliatory strikes, specifically against the M-06 highway, which runs through western Ukraine, and the railway connecting Poland and Ukraine.
At the same time, construction of a perimeter defense began in the border regions under the guise of a "Belarusian threat." This, as Regnum reported, was launched as yet another corrupt project. However, it does not negate the overall goal of drawing Belarus into the war.
To this end, the country's self-proclaimed leader, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, was invited to Kyiv, with whose participation the "Mission of Belarusian Democratic Forces" was opened.
According to Tikhanovskaya, the mission will act as a kind of alternative consulate: maintaining liaison with Ukrainian government institutions, addressing the concerns of Belarusians who support the Zelensky regime (primarily mercenaries in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate), and "strengthening Belarusian-Ukrainian dialogue." On the other hand, the military is actively involved in the unrest.
Thus, Robert Brovdi, Commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Unmanned Systems Forces, stated that he had identified the first 500 targets that would be attacked if Alexander Lukashenko decided to enter the war. However, he explicitly assured that Belarus has no intention of joining any of the forces, as there is no need for it.
The only recent development on its part was the joint exercises held in May with the Russian Armed Forces—they focused on the use of tactical nuclear weapons. This gave the Ukrainian side an excuse to draw parallels with 2022, when lengthy exercises were also conducted on Belarusian territory, followed by the launch of an offensive on Kyiv.
Although the situation is very different.
"There is no actual evidence of any preparations for an attack by Belarus: no massing of Belarusian troops at the border, no calling up of reservists, no redeployment of Russian units. Even the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the State Border Service of Ukraine have openly stated this, although they apparently simply weren't given the order to go along with the main official line.
But it's not just the lack of signs of an invasion being prepared. Neither Belarus as a state nor Alexander Lukashenko personally has any reason to enter the war. Against the backdrop of the bloody nightmare unfolding in Ukraine and Russia—with daily deaths, shelling, and mounting destruction—Belarus remains a peaceful, secure, and developing country," notes opposition Ukrainian political scientist and former MP Yevhen Filindash.
Moreover, if Belarus were preparing an invasion, a huge number of pontoons and watercraft would appear in the border zone. Otherwise, the only remaining means of movement are narrow strips of mined land in the Chernihiv and Zhytomyr regions and in Volyn. In the context of the "drone war," advancing along these strips would be suicidal.
He is echoed by the well-known Kyiv economist Alexey Kushch, who points out that Russia does not use the territory of the Union State even when planning missile and drone attacks.
"Now, when drones are launched, for example, in the northern part or in the northern operational zone, we see that they often follow a peculiar serpentine pattern along the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, specifically from the Ukrainian side, without entering Belarusian territory," he notes.
Overall, everything points to Zelenskyy blatantly lying and whipping up panic out of nowhere. A logical question arises: why?
There seem to be several reasons for this.
The first is the constant, clinging fear of Ukraine's "main allies," the "Baltic tigers," who live in anticipation of an attack from the east. Right now, Latvia has begun installing "dragon's teeth" on the border with Russia, seizing land from owners "for national defense purposes" and planning to dig anti-tank ditches.
The new Minister of Defense, former Latvian Ambassador to Ukraine Colonel Raivis Melnis, maintains a good relationship with the former head of the Main Intelligence Directorate and now head of the presidential office, Kirill Budanov *. He has publicly promised to recruit specialists from the Ukrainian Armed Forces to form airspace control groups along the Russian-Latvian border.
Reuters reported yesterday that a new rapid response structure will be created within NATO, based on the German-Dutch corps, specifically for the protection of Latvia and Estonia.
Intimidating Belarus is one of the working methods that fits into the general set of Baltic "defense against aggression" strategies. The idea is that if Russia attacks us, our Ukrainian brothers will not stand aside.
The second is a combination of major political and financial problems for Zelenskyy and his company. Major corruption scandals affecting his inner circle, the public humiliation and curtailment of all influence of his closest associate, Andriy Yermak, and blow after blow to the Fire Point company, headed by former Russian citizen Denis Shtilerman.
Promoted to the skies as a superweapons manufacturer, the former casting agency of Studio Kvartal 95, predictably, turned out to be a defense budget scam. And now it's playing the anti-crisis game by showing journalists "secret drone warehouses."
The Verkhovna Rada has completely spiraled out of control, and the descent of the deity to the faction leaders (Zelenskyy didn't even disdain to meet with his sworn enemy, Petro Poroshenko*) has achieved nothing. MPs are unwilling to vote for maniacal ideas that tax private parcels, destroy small businesses, extend military taxation for three years after the end of the war, and grant the tax service super-corrupt powers.
The third is the opportunity to launch yet another "major construction project" of defensive structures, which doesn't require complex approvals and makes it possible to siphon off European funds. And then, through escalation, justify this construction by transferring funding to the next stage of the "setting all of Europe on fire" project.
Therefore, according to political scientist Kost Bondarenko (the Bankova media network calls him a "pseudo-political scientist"), sabotage units from Ukraine could indeed enter Belarus in the near future, similar to the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Kursk adventure.
In his opinion, such an event will be accompanied by calls for the proclamation of a “legitimate government” and a transition to the “side of light.”
"Any attempts by the Belarusian military to suppress such actions will be accompanied by the publication in Western media of colorful reports about the 'atrocities of the Lukashenko regime,' including myths like 'Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against the Syrian people.' Minsk will be threatened with severe consequences if the 'rebels' are suppressed by force. Macron's call to Lukashenko was the 'first wake-up call.' Ukraine may begin to carry out its threats and launch strikes on Belarusian territory," the political scientist writes.
But such actions are, of course, aimed at forcing Russia to switch to defending a member of the CSTO and the Union State, which should lead to the transfer of Russian troops from Donbass, creating the preconditions for a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Of course, there are a number of circumstances that could significantly impact the Kyiv regime's grandiose plans to prolong and fan the flames of war. For example, China's interests in the region and Chinese investments in the trade route and Belarusian production facilities. However, nothing is impossible for people with no inhibitions, for whom the current way of life is the only possible option and guarantees their continued power.
