FALSE FLAG? Kremlin Claims Kyiv Behind Brutal Terror Attack in Russia

If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to the Kremlin, it’s that 90% of the propaganda that comes from Red Square is pure and utter organic fertilizer…if you catch my drift.

Vladimir Putin likes to play the part of the James Bond villain when he’s on the global stage, utilizing obfuscation, denial, and deceit to get what he wants.

This week, another example of his dastardly behavior comes to us from western Russia, where authorities are attempting to blame Ukraine for an alleged terror attack.

The Kremlin on Thursday blamed Ukraine for an attack in two villages in the Bryansk region of western Russia, in which President Vladimir Putin said assailants had “opened fire on civilians” and the Bryansk governor said two people were killed and hostages were taken.

An aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied that Kyiv was involved in the incident, which Putin called a “terrorist attack.” Details of the incident were extremely sketchy, and, in an age of ubiquitous cellphone videos, no footage or photos of an attack were circulating on social media, even hours afterward.

Russia’s Federal Security Service, the FSB, initially issued a statement saying that “measures are being taken to eliminate armed Ukrainian nationalists who violated the state border.”

The truth, however, was rather embarrassing for the Kremlin.

But two fighters claiming to be members of a far-right Russian anti-Putin nationalist group fighting on Ukraine’s side in the war claimed responsibility, declaring “Death to the Kremlin tyrant” in a video filmed outside a medical clinic in the village of Lyuberchane, near Bryansk, close to the Ukrainian border. The group calls itself the Russian Volunteer Corps.

Experts and observers have repeatedly suggested that Russia is inching ever closer to a public uprising or revolt of some sort, as Putin’s unpopular and unwinnable war continues into its second year.
