“Will it maybe start for real now?”: Russia’s pro-war community reacts to Kremlin drone bombings

On May 3, pro-Kremlin Telegram channels circulated videos depicting an attack on the Kremlin. The Kremlin’s press service claimed that Ukraine was behind the assault, allegedly firing two drones at Vladimir Putin's Kremlin residence in an attempt to assassinate the president. Despite the attack, Putin himself was said to be unharmed, and his work schedule remained unchanged. Kyiv responded almost immediately, saying that it was not involved in the bombings. Russian pro-war propagandists, however, have already called for escalated attacks on Ukraine. Here are some of their reactions.
