Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was "behind closed doors" planning attacks on Russian territory and blowing up a pipeline carrying oil from Russia to Hungary. This was reported Saturday by WaPo which reviewed classified Pentagon documents that were leaked online. One of the documents, marked "top secret," says in late January, Zelensky proposed "strikes against Russia" and moving Ukrainian troops into its territory to "occupy some Russian border towns". According to another classified document, the Ukrainian leader suggested using drones and "attacking deployment sites in Rostov". A Ukrainian drone attacked a factory in Starodub, Bryansk region, on Saturday. This was reported by the governor of the region, Alexander Bogomaz. "A Ukrainian drone attacked the Konservsushprod enterprise in Starodub. There were no casualties," reads the message published in the governor's Telegram channel. The roof of the building was damaged as a result of the munitions dumping. It is noted that the operational services are working at the site. The official website of the processing plant states that it is an official supplier of canned food for the Russian Armed Forces - first and second dishes that are easy to prepare in the field. The target of Saturday's strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Kirov district of Donetsk was the city's emergency services. This was reported to TASS on Saturday, May 13, by Yan Gagin, adviser to the acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic. According to him, the fire was connected to the help of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Gagin said that after the first strike on Donetsk, the enemy waited for rescue workers and ambulances to arrive on the spot. "This was followed by the next volley, which resulted in the death of a mother and child in their own home, it was a targeted fire on emergency services". Earlier in the day, Mayor Alexei Kulemzin reported that a teenager had been wounded as a result of AFU shelling in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. The 2S3M Akatsiya self-propelled artillery batteries, which included servicemen drafted from the reserve as part of partial mobilization and volunteers, attacked strongholds, accumulations of manpower and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry. "In one of the directions in the zone of the special military operation during the artillery support of the offensive of the units of the Western Military District on the positions of the AFU, batteries of self-propelled artillery units 2S3M "Acacia" from closed fire positions struck at the strongholds, the accumulation of human force and equipment of the enemy," - said in the department. They noted that in the batteries of SAU combat tasks are performed by servicemen called up from the reserve as part of partial mobilization, as well as volunteers who have completed a full cycle of training and combat training in training centers and at training ranges of the district, including in the rear areas of the special military operation. The U.S. could disrupt Ukraine's plans for a counterattack because of overreaching Kiev, Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of NATO forces in Europe, told Business Insider in an interview. "The only thing I think could screw things up is the West putting a lot of pressure on Ukraine" Hodges said. He also mentioned that there are those in the U.S. leader's administration who "are not committed to an absolute victory for Ukraine". According to the general, this proves the inability of politicians to clearly define the purpose of Washington's assistance to Kiev. Another of the magazine's interlocutors, Mark Kancian, a retired U.S. Marine colonel, noted that the conflict could "go on indefinitely" and that the United States "will continue to pour money into it without much result". Critical elections will be held in Turkey on Sunday, with the Turkish people having to simultaneously elect a 13th president and a new parliament. The situation before the vote is tense because of the dire economic situation caused by high inflation and crushing earthquakes. The main struggle for the presidency will be between the current head of the republic, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the single opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu; polls do not reveal a favorite. There are three candidates running for the post of the head of state: the current President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan (nominated by the right-wing ruling coalition "Republican Alliance"), Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the People's Republican Party (single candidate from the opposition "Popular Alliance") and Sinan Ogan, a former MP and member of the "Valdai" club (Ata alliance). Analysts predict that the main struggle will unfold between Erdogan and Kılıçdaroğlu. However, polls do not reveal a clear favorite. According to the latest polls by Areda and Asal research centers, Erdogan will win in the first round. The Areda Center survey was conducted on May 11-12 with the participation of 25,000 people. The center did not specify the source of funding or the margin of error. The second round of elections for the Governor post of the Gagauz autonomy will take place on Sunday amid a new round of tension in the region, where the police have detained the representatives of the electoral headquarters of a candidate and a group of civic activists picketed the building of the local Central Electoral Commission. According to the results of the first round of the elections, held on April 30, the largest number of votes was given to Evgeniya Hutsul of "Shor" party and Grigoriy Uzun supported by the Party of Socialists. Both political forces are in opposition in the country, and a number of criminal cases were opened against their leaders - Ilan Shor, Marina Tauber, former president Igor Dodon and other political figures - by the central authorities.
