Unfortunately when emotions run high over a conflict like the one in Gaza it becomes easier for bad actors to manipulate the emotions of people and rile them up to do stupid things. According to a lot of Russian sources this event was organized and incited over Telegram channels with ties to Russian dissidents working for Ukrainian intelligence.
Undoubtedly the Russian government will come down hard on this, as they should. This is not a good look and is a breach of security at a major airport in a time of war. Criminal indictments are probably going to rain.
