A Russian drone hit the headquarters of Ukraine's SBU intelligence agency today — broad daylight, central Kyiv, opposite the St Sophia Cathedral, at least nine people wounded, the first time that building has been reached in four and a half years of war. That's the background. Here's the coverage. * The Guardian: "Russia strikes Ukraine intelligence HQ in 'major escalation'." CNN: "Russia strikes Ukraine Security Service headquarters in central Kyiv." France 24: "Russia hits SBU headquarters." And RT: "Ukraine accuses Russia of striking SBU building in Kiev (VIDEO)." Spot the headline where the drone has no pilot. * Inside RT's version, the event dissolves further. Zelensky is "claiming" the drone was aimed at the intelligence chief's office. The whole thing is "the alleged Russian attack." A military drone, in the capital of a country Russia has been bombing daily for over a week, flew into the front office of the security service — and RT files it as an open case. Sender unknown. Return address smudged. They even attached "(VIDEO)" — footage of the thing they can't bring themselves to attribute. * Now, attribution is a fine journalistic habit. We spend half our life here begging outlets to say who claims what. So let's check whether this is RT's actual grammar or a special weekend offer. From RT's own recent shelf: "Russia hits Kiev drone-manufacturing plant – MOD." "Russia strikes Ukrainian exhibition of drones used in attacks on civilians – MOD." "Ukrainian drone attack on strategic enterprise foiled – FSB." When the Russian Defense Ministry claims a strike, the verb is declarative and the ministry gets a polite little dash at the end, like a signature on a delivery slip. Russia hits. Russia strikes. Fact, fact. * So the house rules, assembled: a strike exists the moment Moscow's ministry says so, and enters a permanent fog of allegation when Kyiv's president says so — even with the smoke still over Volodymyrska Street and the video in RT's own headline. That's not caution. Caution is a standard you apply in both directions. Applied in one direction only, it's just loyalty wearing caution's jacket. * The SBU building took its first hit of the entire war today, on camera, in daylight. The only mystery RT couldn't crack was where drones over Kyiv keep coming from.
