There is no denial available, Ukraine sent the Canadian computer navigated Drone assault at Sevastopol, and Russia retrieved one of the units and read the navigation program.
The Digital soldiers do spill their guts pretty easily when examined.
The fact that the US has engineered the economic warfare against Russia, has created a new alliance in Asian producer Nations.
The current effort to cause economic difficulties for Russia, as the US Star Wars program did with the USSR government, appears to have now created more economic hardship for Western Powers than for Russia.
Until that effect is at least recognized the inflation and the resulting attempts to fix economic problems appears to be something that will create bigger problems in Western Nations.
The Members of the BRICS group now have formed a replacement for the IMF, and they are quickly assembling a marketing group that includes Russia, China, India, the "Stans" as well as Iran. That group represents a major portion of products that Western Powers desire.
Turkey and North Korea appear to be included in the group as well and several Latin American Nations now seem more willing to buy from those Producers than the US. The effort to dominate the world trade appears to be creating the opposite effect?
Russians contribution to Grain Markets represents almost 30% and their supplies of Nickle are around the same portion of Metal supplies. China is producing a major amount of products in machine tool markets and the US has become a minor player in supporting World Markets, in spite of the propaganda. The US efforts to create Chaos in Central Asia might slow the ability of the group to create land connections, like the Belt and Road Initiative, but Europe appears to be moving in the direction of the association the new group of producer nations appears to be forming.

India and Pakistan are discussing Trade relations, Iran enjoys the effect of respect from their peers as their products are not sanctioned by this group. The US has attempted to control the world markets with force and even that plan appears to be losing steam. The economic influence that a group as large as the United Asian Producers appears to now leave the US as an outcast?
The potential that that association represents should at least be understood, before the US State Department attempts something even more stupid than sanctions on every competing Nation? The Inflation that is currently blamed on Russia being involved in Ukraine events, is actually a result of the Sanctions that the US appears to use as a marketing
