Russian propagandists are referring to a piece by American far-right conservative columnist Ted Snyder, published in The American Conservative.

The article provides no evidence that Ukraine was responsible for the incidents at industrial facilities in neighboring countries. These conclusions are based solely on the author’s personal opinion and anti-Ukrainian narratives that Snyder promotes in the piece. He also justifies Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and claims that Moscow’s attack on European countries is supposedly impossible because Vladimir Putin has said so.
