Ukraine is the easy one. Demonize the victim in their invasion and turn public sentiment back in favour of Putain.
Honesty shocked we haven't heard "killed by the Ukrainian Nazi terrorists" yet from the Kremlin.
Budanov is my prime suspect and yes I applaud him for it. Especially for making it look like Putin did it, to further destabilise the regime. Two birds one stone and all.
In that sense yes it's appalling how Putin is trying to deflect blame away from himself. He totally did it. Wagnerites go get him. Blaming Ukraine is insane they'd never be capable of pulling it off.
