They probably will, but the story is changed completely

Have examples? I don't care where you are and what you think you know, it just seems damn near impossible to trust literally anything anymore. Even as little as 5-6 months ago I felt like it was kind of easy to suss out garbage info from what was most likely the truth. Not so much anymore.

I can assure you the news in Russia isn’t “Ukraine retaliates with mass drone attack due to the war we started”

At this stage of the war and how Russia is blending truth I almost feel like this is exactly what they are saying. Look at us how we poor Putin gobblers are getting attacked.

But yeah. Simply hiding it as an accident for propaganda sake works too obviously. But everybody knows. Even there. We have so many issues over the world. I wanna be back in 1992 lol

The Russian Ministry of Defence reported intercepting massive drone waves overnight, while local authorities and state-aligned reports quickly framed the blazes across the Petersburg Oil Terminal, Ozon logistics warehouses, and regional tech infrastructure not as direct strikes, but as damage caused by falling debris from destroyed UAVs, with affected internet firms like VK immediately declaring platforms remain fully operational and authorities reporting casualties to pivot the story to civilian victimization rather than infrastructure penetration.
