    No, the story the “arsonists” are telling makes no sense. And there’s too little information out there to determine whether this is just a fabrication by the Russian state or actually what happened.

    Both are stupid, but in slightly different ways.

      Of course the Russian state is lying. You can tell because what they’re saying makes no sense. Also because they’re the Russian state. They have an explicit strategy that they call the firehose of disinformation.

      As for the other story, I mean it might make sense if it’s a false flag, who knows? The Russian state can send people to invade Ukraine, it can send people to burn down a couple of buildings.

      Edit: I am making a note of this typo edit just to highlight the fact that “sfate” is a funny word.

      I mean tbf the track record is very clear. Russia can’t be trusted. But ofc you are right, we also don’t know if we can trust the arsonists.

      I have a feeling those arsonists are trying to put this on state actors so the Russian government has to distance themselves this making their story even more confusing and less plausible. I think it’s just a novel way to attack the Russian narrative.
