Ukrainian intelligence intercepts Russian soldier telling his wife Russia bombed their own people

Two telling parts in the article. "“That was ours fucking stuff up,” the purported soldier quickly responds. “It’s necessary. They do that to provoke the [Ukrainians]. And that’s why they hit it,” he said. “We talked to the bosses and they said that’s how it is. The same shit was happening in the Chechen War, they blew up apartments in Moscow, as if it were terrorists. It was really the FSB,” he said, referring to the series of bombings in September 1999 that helped bring Vladimir Putin to power." and The unnamed soldier in the intercepted call goes on to say there was “no way” the Ukrainians could have reached the town of Klimovo, in the Bryansk region, from where they were, and tells his wife he plans to “refuse” to go further with the war in Ukraine."

Very short article.

It was long suspected that Putin engineered stunts like this. It will of course be denied as manufactured by the Ukrainians. Remember the time Chechen separatists took over a theater and Putin ordered a sedative pumped in that killed a bunch of civilians? Just the kind of guy he is.
