Resisting Moscow's Victim Narrative: Strategies for Global Response. Ukraine in Flames

A week after the "re-appointment" of Vladimir Putin as the President of Russia for the next six years - until 2030, on Friday evening, March 22, a shooting and a fire occurred in the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, which the Kremlin called a terrorist attack, and Putin indirectly connected with Ukraine. The ISIS terrorist group took responsibility for the crime. The American media, citing their intelligence, also reported on the Islamic State. However, the Kremlin denied this version. Watch Ukraine in Flames #602 to find out whether it was a deliberate provocation or evidence of the degradation of the Russian special services, and explore how we can prevent the Kremlin's inclination to play the "victim of terrorism" card.
