So the man who shot him gave the reason he did so "because he stopped sending arms to Ukrane". The same man is linked to a pro-Russian extremist group? Either he is mentally ill, or someone is lying.
Yeah, I think at this point it's all speculation central. Where did you hear the guy who shot him cited "because he stopped sending arms to Ukraine" as a motive, though? I only heard talk of him citing general discontent with the government, and a quote claiming he brought up the upcoming public broadcast reforms in Slovakia so far. Genuinely interested.
One way or the other, at this point, everything still seems possible: from a useful idiot for Putin, a false flag coordinated - maybe with blackmail or something - by Russia, a mental illness, the gunman genuinely wanting to support Ukraine in a misguided way (even though it's rare, yes, 180° turns in a few years are possible, especially in unstable people), or no direct relation to the war at all in his motives - it's still impossible to tell.
I also haven't heard of the journalist that brought the connection up or VS Square before myself, so, hard to say how trustworthy they are. But it sounds to be well-cited and founded at least.
Active disinformation. They take action along one geopolitical vector while using other assets like Marjorie Taylor Gringo to spin it against their enemies.
Of course! Now we’re going to have politicians demanding fascism to “protect the EU”
