Russia’s credibility, particularly concerning its war against Ukraine, has been crushed by its persistent lies. What exactly happened over the presumably heavily fortified Kremlin – a word that means fortress in Russian – the seat of government and home to the president? Video clips on social media showed what looked like drones and a fiery explosion over the Kremlin, its walls already festooned with banners ahead of the May 9th celebration of Victory Day, when Russia commemorates its triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II and displays its military might with parades. (The following day, the Kremlin also accused the US of involvement in the alleged attack, which the US denies). Moscow accused Ukraine of what it called a “terrorist act.” Ukraine said it had nothing to do with whatever it was that took place that night.
