(3,249 posts)It probably is Putin, but he has apparently been in hiding. I'm not sure we can assume he is in control they way he might have been 5 years ago. Maybe Sokolenko is seen as a Putin enabler and there are others planning to do Putin in.
Maybe the window leap was others sending a message to Putin.
I have no knowledge or insights about any of this. I just suggest that things can be different from how they seem.

(3,249 posts)Rostov is about 50 miles from teh official border, but more like 130 miles from territory Ukraine holds. I'm not sure why Ukraine would take on sich a risky mission when they probably have the means to blast him with a drone.
OTOH, everybody assumes this was a Putin deed. So if the Ukranians could get in there, that would probably be very upsetting to Putin's inner circle. making them wonder who Putin will bump off next.
I guess if we are considering wild ideas, it could be British or US special forces doing it for the same reason -- to destabilize Putin's inner circle.
