Kremlin drone attack
- ISW suggests Russia likely staged the Kremlin drone attack to bring the war home to the domestic audience and set conditions for wider societal mobilization
- Jonathan is unsure but leans towards Ukraine not being responsible as it would be counterproductive
- The rapid, coherent Russian response indicates the attack may have been internally prepared
- Russia may conduct more false flag operations to increase domestic support ahead of the Ukrainian counter-offensive

Wrap up
Jonathan notes that while it was a quieter day, something is brewing and the upcoming Ukrainian counter-offensive will likely be centered around Zaporizhzhia. There will also likely be moves of deception and feints to exploit any weak points in Russian defenses. The counter-offensive may start as a distraction but turn into a major strike if vulnerabilities are found.
