It began with hints. Intimation.
Now, it’s no holds barred accusations.
The Russian authorities are aggressively pushing the line that Ukraine and the West were behind last month’s Crocus City concert hall massacre outside Moscow which left 145 people dead.
The Islamic State group quickly claimed responsibility for the attack. But soon after the suspected gunmen were detained President Vladimir Putin hinted at a Ukrainian connection.
At the weekend Russian state TV broadcast interrogation videos of the four suspects, all citizens of Tajikistan. One of the men said on camera that the post-attack plan had been “to head towards Kyiv”.
Their words must be taken with extreme caution. During a court appearance after their arrest the men showed signs of torture.

Because they need to have some justification for their continued invasion. shit-head fascists gonna fascist, after all.
Option A: admit your security services are myopic and ineffective
Option B: blame it on the super big bad evil you’ve been building up over the past decade plus that externalizes the root problem
Hmm…
Why is predictable thing we all knew was gonna happen happening?
Truly, one of the great mysteries of our time

Ukraine just bombing somewhere in Russia is more believable than them doing a state sponsored terrorist attack and not taking credit.
If the attack had been against a political or military target it would be more believable. Ukraine has nothing to gain by attacking civilian targets.
They have a lot to loose though. A lot of western countries would pull support if they did.
Man, ISIS must be pissed about this.
Wait until ISIS publishes videos of the actual terrorists alive and well once they have exfiltraded Russia.
It fits the narrative. Just like how Putin won their “election.”
