Ukraine and Russia trade massive missile attacks. This might appear related to Moscow attack, but it is not.

Russia blames Ukraine for the attack in Moscow.

Margarita Simonyan: “it is no ISIS, they are all Ukrainians”.

What doesn’t it mean for Russia, Ukraine and the region? 1/ Image
As I said earlier, Putin has no choice but to blame Ukraine. Otherwise he admits his incompetence to prevent the attack, weakness to be unable to respond, and a strategic failure of invading Ukraine instead of focusing on other, real issues for Russia. He will loose power. 2/
So he claims a Ukrainian connection

Putin: the terrorists were moving towards Ukraine, where according to preliminary reports, Ukrainian side prepared a window to cross the border. 3/

Putin might not have a choice but to blame Ukraine for the terrorist attack in Moscow. He might not be successful, though, because the facts point to Islamic radicals.

This is why:

1. The Russian law enforcement’ve shown suspects 1/

They claim one of them is from Tajikistan. None of them are Ukrainians or have lived in Ukraine

Ukraine has explicitly denied involvement in the attack and ISIS has claimed responsibility. 2/
US officials have told media that the claim of responsibility by the Islamic State appears to be credible.

Three days before the attack the U.S. warned Russia about a possibility. Putin dismissed the warning as “blackmail” 3/ Image

Pope says Ukraine should find courage to raise a white flag and negotiate with Russia. But negotiation requires leverage, otherwise it is a surrender

This leverage is Crimea. By annexing it, Putin has crowned himself a prince of Tavria. If Crimea is lost, Putin is dead 1/ Image
Yet, attacking Crimea requires longer range missiles. Ukraine's been asking the West for weapons that can strike Kerch bridge and meaningfully threaten the land connection Russia grabbed when it invaded in 2022. These requests've hit a brick wall of "deescalation" 2/
Ironically, the fear of escalation invites escalation and prolongs the war. As long as Ukraine doesn't have a credible threat over Crimea, Russia will not negotiate in good faith, because Ukraine has nothing to put on the table 3/
