Comment:

The Russian security services have once again demonstrated an imitation of a special operation, bursting into the homes of unarmed Muslims with assault rifles and in full combat gear.

Against the backdrop of the protracted war in Ukraine, constant drone attacks from Ukraine, tightening Western sanctions, and falling oil revenues, the Kremlin needs to feed society the idea of a constant external threat; otherwise, the currently skyrocketing level of patriotism may begin to decline. That is why the FSB, instead of preventing Ukrainian attacks, is targeting peaceful Islamic activists who clearly pose no threat, since their organization does not use forceful actions as a method.

Let us recall that on June 1 of this year, a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russian military airfields took place. According to experts, it became the largest strike on Russia’s strategic aviation in history. During Operation ‘Web’, organized by the Security Service of Ukraine, 117 drones were launched at four air bases on Russian territory. As a result, more than 40 strategic aircraft were hit.
