Putin accuses Ukraine of ‘terrorist attack’ in Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukrainian Nazi “terrorists” Thursday of crossing into Russia’s Bryansk region and launching an attack on villagers — a claim denied by officials in Kyiv who said it was a “deliberate provocation” that Moscow may use to justify a ramped-up offensive.

Putin — who has justified his war under the false pretense that his democratic neighbor was overrun with genocidal Nazis — said Ukrainian “terrorists” had targeted civilians and children in “yet another terror attack, another crime.”

He repeated his rhetorical propaganda while describing the alleged attack, saying “neo-Nazis” were to blame, the likes of which he claimed Russia would “finish pushing” out of Ukraine.
