Official statement from the Kremlin on last night’s drone strikes. They say it was partly an attempt to embarrass Russia in front of its foreign guests (oh, so many are coming, I’m sure) on Moscow’s May 9 Victory Day parade. Finishes with a “countermeasures” threat.

@kevinrothrock an attack on Dear Leader can be used as a pretext to justify *anything*. like using WMDs. or for an assassination attempt on Zelensky while he is abroad.

@herid Russia doesn’t need pretexts for anything anymore. They’ve been screaming about WWIII against the poor, innocent Motherland for more than a year already.

@kevinrothrock I think they still need a pretext for using WMDs.
