As with their fascist fellow travellers in the U.S., comedy is not their strong suit.

Here is the full statement in English from the Russian defence ministry, in which it claims that both the missile strike in PrzewodĂłw and damage to residential areas of Kyiv yesterday were caused by Ukrainian actions. The statement reads:

The footage of the wreckage detected in PrzewodĂłw, published in the evening of 15 November in Poland, has been identified without a shadow of a doubt by professionals of Russian defence industrial complex as elements of S-300 air defence guided missile of Ukrainian Air Force.

The statements of various Ukrainian sources and foreign officials on the fall of alleged ‘Russian rockets’ in Przewodów are a deliberate provocation aimed at escalating the situation.

We also want to stress that no missile strikes were launched at any facilities in Kiev within high-precision firepower’s massive attack on the facilities located in Ukraine.

All the destructions in the residential quarters of the Ukrainian capital, demonstrated by the Kiev regime, are the direct consequence of the fall and self-destruction of the air defence missiles launched by Ukrainian forces from the foreign-manufactured air defence systems deployed within the city limits.

We want to emphasise that the high-precision attacks were launched only at the targets located in Ukraine and no closer than 35 kilometres (22 miles) from the Ukrainian–Polish border.

Ukrainian authorities have said that all the incidents were as a result of Russian aggression, with presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak saying “there can be no other explanation for any incidents with missiles” and accusing Russia of turning eastern Europe into “an unpredictable battlefield”.

Buried in the last paragraph of the Russian statement is an acknowledgement that they have fired missiles at targets only 22 miles from the Polish border, or that 22 miles is their safety margin for avoiding strikes across the border.

Ah. Well, that’s okay then. I was worried it was a suspicious car accident that involved Russian malfeasance. Just an every day road hazard. Yepyepyepyepyep. How unfortunate he was.

The implication is that it was a bomb especially for him, or at least that’s how I read it.

It had to be targeted, that’s a pretty heavily armored car.
