Russian propagandists from the NTV TV channel have released a deepfake featuring Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, attempting to convince audiences that “Ukraine was involved in the 22 March terrorist attack.”
Nah, I don’t buy this story at all. Their car had Belarussian plates and that border is much closer and still open. I’d even argue that the UKR/RUS border is the worst place to cross with checkpoints, mines and drones everywhere. They would’ve been safer hiding out in a random village somewhere.
Fleeing to Belarus might as well mean staying in Russia
Of course we will never know the truth I’m sure they will have unhappy accidents next to windows
Assuming they (ISIS) have active members on the other side, and a corridor established, fleeing into Ukraine would be probably significantly safer - assuming Russian and Ukrainian internal security services aren’t sharing intelligence and otherwise cooperating while they’re engaged in a hot conflict.
Don’t be that dumb.
You can’t cross a warzone, especially as a third party. If the Russians won’t shoot them (they would) the Ukrainians would.
It has shit to do with Ukraine, it’s just the typical Russia cop out, same mo as trump, just lie straight against all evidence. Repeat it enough and as long as your own base believes it, nothing else matters
Do you realize how vast that geography is, and that civilians travel through it daily?
Also, they had just gunned down hundreds of civilians, their motivation to leave Russian controlled territory, including Belaruse, was probably pretty high on their hierarchy of needs. Escaping into a country that Russia is at war with, seems like a safer option that sticking around anywhere with an FSB or ICRF field office.
I said nothing about Ukrainian involvement, or complicity, as I haven’t seen any evidence to support that, nor do I believe they would be.
So, take your own advice and don’t be that dumb.
