  • Putin’s inner circle isn’t buying his claim that Kyiv is connected to the Moscow terror attack, Bloomberg reported.
  • Putin continues to say that Ukraine had a role in the attack, which was claimed by ISIS-K.
  • He thinks that pushing the theory is beneficial for galvanizing support for his war, per Bloomberg.

    I appreciate your citations!

    In a documentary I watched on the subject, an “expert” stated that local police had tested the device tested before the FSB grown ups showed up and their findings that they WERE explosives, not sugar.

    I don’t have a definitive source, but it’s my understanding that the “sugar” line actually was actually directly disputed by initial findings.

      Full disclosure: I literally just copied part of the wiki text lol

      And yeah - I am sure the local cop who tested the explosives had a very long and productive life for the next week, at which point he probably fell off a balcony onto several bullets, head-first.
