Russian dissidents are carrying out “explosions and assassinations” in defiance of the Kremlin's war in Ukraine, according to a top ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Terrorism is back on our streets, in our cities,” Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev complained on social media. “Here’s the creme de la creme of our non-systemic opposition: It’s waging war on its own people, it’s engaged in explosions and assassinations.”Medvedev, who held the Russian presidency for one term under Putin, issued that denunciation in the wake of a bombing that killed a pro-war blogger associated with the Wagner Group.

That is, it was not something that should have exploded.”
