Vladimir Putin’s reaction to the attack on the Crimean bridge cheers the all-out war hawks who, in the shadow of the Kremlin, are pushing for a further escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. At the beginning of the Security Council session, the Russian President told his supporters that “at the proposal of the Ministry of Defense and in accordance with the plan of the General Staff, a massive attack was carried out using high-precision air, sea and land weapons of Ukraine” and pointed the finger at the Kiev secret service: “It is also obvious that the clients, organizers and executors of the latest attack are the Ukrainian special services.” Kyiv The regime has been on a par with international terrorist formations for some time. It has killed public figures, journalists and scholars, both in Ukraine and in Russia. It has been bombing the cities of Donbass for eight years,” the tsar told the courier, which also gives space to the statements of the Russian “hawks”.
TV presenter Margarita Simonyan (pictured with Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov) had asked Putin for an immediate response after the blast on the bridge.

Chechen leader Kadyrov attacked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky head-on: “Misery, what are you complaining about? We warned you that Russia has not yet started to get serious. Run Zelenskyy, run, flee to the West if you can. Now I’m finally satisfied with our military special operation.” Dmitry Medvedev, Vice-President of the Security Council, said: “The first episode was staged. There will be more.” So-called “God’s Oligarch” Konstantin Malofeev, owner of the Tsargrad Canal, who criticized the Cremlini, commented: “Now the rules of the game are finally changing”.

A move aimed at increasing internal participation in the war in a situation where there has been a drastic drop in consensus due to the military mobilization that is bringing many Russians to the front lines.
