East Europeans shocked to hear the news.
“An Élysée official said: “What is striking is that it’s not the first, this is the third war that Russia has been waging in 15 years, with Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014, Ukraine again in 2022.”

“Italy’s failure to prevent Uss’s escape raised suspicions about possible corruption, collusion or pro-Russian agendas in parts of the government or judiciary.”

After Putin's FSB blew up buildings in Moscow, pinning it on Chechens, there is no reason whatsoever to believe these attacks were the work of Ukraine.
