The rationale for the attacks on Ukraine: Zelensky claimed that Russia is preparing a large-scale terrorist attack

The drone attack on the Kremlin, which the Russians blame on Ukraine, may be proof that the Russians are preparing a large-scale terrorist attack. It’s about May 3 declaration Advisor to the President of the Presidential Office, Mykhailo Podolyak, from his Twitter account.

“As for the drones over the Kremlin. Everything is predictable… Russia is obviously preparing a large-scale terrorist act. That’s why it first detains a large group of alleged saboteurs in Crimea. Then ‘drone drones over the Kremlin'” exhibits,” the official wrote.

He noted that Kiev was conducting an exclusively defensive war, and such “attacks” on objects on Russian territory did not solve a single military problem. But at the same time, such actions for Moscow can be a pretext for attacks on peaceful Ukrainians.

“We are watching with interest the growth of events and extremism in different parts of Russia. The appearance of unknown UAVs at power plants or on the territory of the Kremlin may indicate underground work of local resistance forces. As you know, drones can be purchased at any military store, ”Podolyak wrote. .
