The claim that Ukrainian forces are failing on the battlefield has led to accusations that the Kiev regime is trying to justify itself by striking at civilians inside Russia. This viewpoint was voiced in a discussion with FAN by Dmitry Krasnov, a member of the Supreme Council of the All-Russian movement Strong Russia and an honored lawyer of the Russian Federation. Krasnov suggested that Moscow should view these actions as a form of propaganda aimed at deflecting international scrutiny and maintaining a narrative of threat and instability.
Krasnov described the reported Ukrainian strikes on civilian targets as an act of terrorism that seeks to intimidate the civilian population, disrupt state functions, and sow panic among residents. He argued that these tactics are designed to destabilize daily life and erode public confidence in local authorities, while also creating pressure on foreign supporters to back the Kiev regime.
According to Krasnov, Russian authorities must take comprehensive steps to prevent the infiltration of bomber, sabotage, and reconnaissance groups into the country. He stressed the importance of tightened border controls, improved counterintelligence measures, and vigilant readiness across security agencies to deter any potential incursion or covert operations.
