re: Putin addresses Russia, says terrorists were captured attempting to flee to Ukraine

Maybe. But it's probably just more fog of war. An internal terror attack can help solidify the Russian population against Ukraine.

Look at 9/11. That shite solidified most of our population into demanding vengeance.. wasn't until several years later that we realized we were duped. Gov just started spying on us on an even more massive scale, and started attacking countries that had nothing to do with 9/11.
