“If anyone doubts it was the Americans who were the intended audience for the ‘we shot our own drones’ story”, Russian channel openly laughs at Trump administration. They’re referring to Steve Witkoff who uncritically quoted Russian MoD fables claiming they downed their own drones already flying to Ukraine following Putin’s order.
In reality, yesterday #Russia targeted a number of towns in #Ukraine, including two hospitals in #Sumy and energy infrastructure in other locations.
#Russia Ministry of Defense announced today that “Russian assault drones already launched at Ukrainian power facilities were shot down by their own air defence after Putin’s orders”.
#Ukraine hospital in #Sumy hit overnight apparently wasn’t “power facility” and thus wasn’t excluded from the target list 
Oh wait, Russia never targeted hospitals so no need to stop any attack! 
Russian military channels initially laughed at the MOD statement but then promptly decoded its real audience to be exclusively Donald Trump. This is how “Voenny Osvedomitel” translated the MOD message into a layman’s language:
Look at this, we even shoot down our own drones and keep our word, and they struck right after the call. It’s no good, it’s impossible to negotiate with such maniacs.
