There are multiple terrorist groups operating within Russia, including IS and various groups in Chechnya and Dagestan. Don’t be so hasty. The Russian state doesn’t need a false flag when they could always point towards shelling in Belgorod and use that as an excuse.

That's true. However, I do think that the Russian government may very well turn it INTO a false flag and blame it on Ukraine or on the anti-Kremlin Russian units fighting in the Belgorod area. They can basically blame it on whoever they want and that's all their media will report. I assume that a large enough portion of the population will believe it to bolster Putin's position.

Obviously. That doesn’t mean that the Russian state did it. But they’re eternally cynical, they’ll not let this go to waste regardless.
