SVT's foreign reporter Bert Sundström does not believe that it is a so-called false flag operation. According to Russian authorities, eight drones that were heading towards the central parts of Moscow were shot down.
An adviser to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, on the other hand, has said it is looking at the events with satisfaction and expects to see more similar attacks. Some speculate that it could be the Russians themselves who are behind the attacks to justify continued attacks on Ukraine.
