This article has numerous points that have difficulty standing up to a healthy application of common sense.
Why would Russia attack its own citizens when there’s free targets next door in Ukraine instead? Can we reasonably expect any ordinary citizen to be able to identify the nationality behind a missile or a drone? They could be from any EU country.
The governor of Pennsylvania was recently lambasted for spending so much of his time signing bombs and signing missiles in photo-ops instead of focusing on improving Pennsylvania and helping the zombies on Kensington Ave. I wonder if any of these munitions had his signature on them, jokingly.
If the goal, as Noam Chomsky would say, to manufacture consent for war: there are better articles for that than this.
It’s also somewhat too late to be pushing out articles like this when a change in the U.S. leadership will occur in less than 2 months on Jan 20th, 2025. Can you even deploy significant numbers of military-aged men on the ground over the Christmas Holidays, especially when we have no formal declaration of war through congress?

The FT isn't really known as a shiller of war propaganda. >Why would Russia attack its own citizens when there’s free targets next door in Ukraine Kherson is Ukraine The only bit that seems wrong to me is 'target practice.' They are making too much effort for that. I'd say deliberate murder is closer.
