Valdai, Bryansk, and Lavrov playing air defense officer
Putin demanded Trump's promised call, and to expedite it, Lavrov was instructed to leak news about the bombing of Putin's residence in Valdai
It's strange that Lavrov is the one reporting on the "large-scale night attack by Ukraine on Putin's residence." Perhaps there are no other air defense personnel left in Russia, and the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry, in full force, was responsible for repelling the attack of Ukrainian drones on Putin's dacha?
Most likely, everything is explained more simply. The second phone conversation between Trump and Putin, announced the day before yesterday, was delayed. The Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry tried to organize it yesterday morning, but for some reason, the Americans initially refused.
At the same time, Putin demanded Trump's promised call, and to expedite it, Lavrov was instructed to leak the news that 12 hours ago, Ukraine "treacherously, without declaring war," tried to bomb Putin's dacha in Valdai. And then — according to the plan: talks about "revising the negotiating position" and an attack on the government quarter.
It is worth recalling that, according to data released yesterday morning by the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukraine attacked Russia with a total of 89 drones overnight, more than half of which were allegedly shot down in the Bryansk region. Since, according to Lavrov, Valdai alone was attacked by 91 Ukrainian drones, it is already possible to assess who the Russian Foreign Ministry intends to "bomb."
