Kremlin: "There is no war." Also Kremlin: "Have a shitty deepfake of the Ukranian president urging people to surrender so they don't die in the war we told you doesn't exist." I don't get what their goal was here. Did they honestly think that was in any way passable enough to convince anyone it was real? If so, they're dumber than I thought (or they think everyone else is dumber than dirt). If not, what was the point? Is this like a double-false-flag thing, where they're going to turn around and say, "Ukraine made this, and now they're blaming it on us! They want us to look inept, see how much they hate us"? I mean... how many layers of "they don't know we know they know we know they know it's us" are they going to play here?
