Russian media is reporting various developments in Kyiv. But what is the explanation for these events? Who do they say is behind them?

Some reports say Ukraine is shooting down its own planes.

For American friends and those influenced by American religious organizations, I’ve compiled some resources that analyze the relationship between Russia/Putin and some religious groups in the US. 1/
If you have heard (even casually) support for Putin voiced in your circles, I urge you to read these resources and wrestle with them. Disclaimer: this is my personal interest, but it is not directly related to my own professional expertise; please forgive errors/omissions. 2/
