They're stretching the rubber band. Minor provocations to see if there will be a response. Any given response will be reported in Russia as NATO aggression, bringing Putin's obedient sheep closer together.

I saw only a little while ago a news article about Putin saying he thinks the conflict in Ukraine will end relatively soon. So wtf is he doing attacking nato member states? That mf wants to die that badly? He’s already shitting himself in fear of being assassinated and lives as a hermit

Ah yes, Denmark 🇩🇪

He's trying to get a retaliation from NATO, and then use that attack on Russia as a valid reason to call general mobilization. Without a good reason he can't call mobilization. And it'll boost his standing with the population with a good ol' rallying around the flag.

If NATO stays cool and gives a pile of cash to Ukraine in response for deploying drone air defense at NATO/Russia border and more support for Ukraine to attack Moskou it'll do the opposite is what Putin wants. If every stupid attack strengthens the enemy he'll attack less.

A Russian drone hit an apartment building in Romania, a NATO member state, sparking outrage across Europe, where nations have ramped up defense efforts against Moscow. The explosives-packed aircraft was ostensibly bound for nearby Ukraine, but crossed into a Romanian town near the two countries’ border.

Of the five posts I've seen so far on social media on this topic, this is the only one to give some sense of what actually happened.

And they got a strongly worded please don't do that again.

Drumpf will be applauding putin

We could end this easily if we actually wanted to ..
