My head canon is that whoever did this may have been Ukrainian but they were for sure CIA asset and now the state department will begin their inevitable process of abandoning Ukraine and throwing them under the bus for their own failures in this conflict w/ Russia
yeah, CIA provided the planning and equipment and they just grabbed some local manpower so they can take the fall instead if necessary. Textbook plausible deniability. Looks like the Ukrainian operatives got away with it anyway with Poland’s help (they are so rabidly anti Russian they for sure would help them and the US with this)
Look, it was 100% Ukraine ok? Sure they might’ve recieved training and equipment from the US, and the US might’ve briefed them on their mission and provided all the intel, and the US dropped them off and picked them up afterwards, but this is 100% Ukraine and we must proudly and patriotically ignore the US’s involvement in this in order to throw this week’s scapegoat under the bus!
