7:03 pm
a regular basis, but i think if ukraine was behind these attacks and that was later proved that would be pretty bad for present. zalinski is inside her credibility as would be very high risk register tonight. if then that could then be relied to proven not to be in the case. i think this is about the fact that they are just very worried. they're worried that if you know the can suspicion right, that ukraine is behind this. that lot western countries who been supplying ukraine weapons with the proviso that they can only be used on ukrainian territory, that that would cause more problems with further deliveries. and that, that would get into ukraine into a lot of diplomatic trouble with countries who are worried about some bigger conflagration, some bigger kind of diplomatic contagion. that said drone to touch on russian infrastructure close to ukraine have become more frequent. so is the presumption that key at that key is behind those and why the apparent increase in their inner tax. so these are important to make that distinction between the attacks that are
7:04 pm
logistically a lot easier and a lot more logical in terms of their target stacking fuel depose and railways close to ukraine's borders. and those are definitely attacks that prison lensky has never come out and denied. and if they are denied at all, they're denied by kind of 2nd or 3rd echelon, new government officials here and care for. they don't let present lensky anywhere near that. i think some of this is happening now because it is about trying to disrupt rushes, logistics ahead of ukraine's expected counter offensive. but it's also about the come psychological war and about showing that for all its resources for all its anti aircraft, anti drone systems. russia is very vulnerable and not able to defend its population . and the way that she a russian state propaganda suggests it when, you know, talking to its own population for jennifer palka in reger at talk us through them. what russia is saying happened well, kremlin spokesperson demetrius cough, called it a planned terrorist attack with the aim to take blood in your proteins life. but

7:06 pm
these reports are coming from russian state media. they have not been confirmed by western media or experts. the only clear statement we have comes from the kremlin and from ukraine, which vehemently denies being involved. of course, there is the possibility of russia having staged this attack, trying to use this to legitimize the war. and ukraine is specially because they waited a whole day before publishing the footage. also, on may, 9th, there will be a parade held on the red square to celebrate rush as a victory in world war 2. so what better timing to evoke, more patriotic feelings in russian society than showing them that the enemy is here almost at their doorstep in the kremlin. thank you for that. so jennifer, jennifer palka and riga and nick connelly in k. thank you. both. bullets denial from vladimir savanski. i came during our meetings in finland with nordic leaders, who was greeted by the president of finland, which became at nato's newest member. last month. mister zalinski,
