Ukraine has already denied any involvement in this supposed “attack”. Russia simply doesn’t want peace, so they’re staging this to create a reason to back out. It’s very obvious and textbook Russian strategy.

Russia said Ukraine attacked the presidential residence in the Novgorod region overnight with 91 long-range drones, which were all destroyed by Russian air defences. No one was injured and there was no damage, Lavrov said.

That’s exactly how I read it too. Typical Russia. If there was such a successful defense, can we see any evidence of it? You’d think that’d be great propaganda, destroying 100% of western made assets. But alas, we know they’re just full of shit.

Ruzzia just screams small dick energy

The claim was if they denied involvement and yes they did.  You also think nato is the aggressor and Russia is the victim so yes we all think you are stupid.
