Similiar to Matt's attempt to dictate what reasonable (stereotypical German) people see by a Russian propagandist to disclaim Russia's 'operations intended to bring the war in Ukraine closer to the heart of Europe and to undermine support for Kyiv.' www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...

U.S. officials confirmed the flights but said they were unable to track their origin. They believe the drones have been flown by Russians or people working for Russian intelligence services. On Thursday, the Kremlin’s spokesman, Dmitri S. Peskov, dismissed the reports as most likely “fake.” “It’s hard to imagine this,” he told reporters when asked if Russia was tracking shipments through Germany. “Because then the Germans would be seeing it clearly and they would be unlikely to be silent. So most likely it sounds like yet another newspaper fake.” Mr. Jones said the drone flights over supply routes were “straight-up espionage,” as Russia tries to learn what firms are manufacturing weapons for Ukraine, and how weapons are being shipped into Poland and on to Ukraine.
