His first responsibility is to Russia and the Russian people. Putin is not stupid and knows how to play things. We know perfectly well what he is saying - those that have the ears listen. Even if he did come out and directly say things, the press would not cover it and it would be censored. In addition, the sheeple have been so conditioned that Russia, Russia, Russia, is the enemy, they would not believe the truth if it slapped them in the face. Putin solves nothing with going completely public with what he knows and could put Russia in the crosshairs more than they already are.
I hate to say this, but I believe Putin way more then I believe 95% of US office holders.
Putin knows who gave the order and he knows who is pulling the strings.

Agreed. This is a pretty big "comm".
