32. If Ukraine did that, I would have no problem with it. Putin has tried to decapitate Ukraine many times, so all's fair.

An attack on the scale Lavrov claims seems vanishingly unlikely, and his constant disregard for the truth makes it even more implausible. His use of the term "state terrorism" is obvious blatant projection. Cry me a river.

It's obvious that Putin wouldn't be in his wannabe Bond villain lair because he's a chicken and no doubt spends every night in a private Moscow bunker, so it would be a waste of Ukrainian drones that could be much more effective elsewhere.
