Moscow: Assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin. Russian officials said the drones took off around midnight. Russia accused Ukraine of being behind the assassination attempt. The drones were shot down by the Russian military. Russia claims that two drones came to assassinate Putin.
They arrived at Putin’s residence in the Kremlin. The assassination attempt took place on Tuesday midnight. The shot down drones fell inside the Kremlin building. Russia has accused it of a planned terrorist attack. Meanwhile, the Kremlin said that Putin was not injured in the attack.
The building was not damaged when the drones were fired. Putin lived in this house near Moscow. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was at work at the time. Meanwhile, Peskov announced that Putin had no problems and that he would participate in the World War II Victory Parade.
This event will be held next week in Red Square. At the same time, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said that drones are being flown illegally in Moscow. Meanwhile, Ukrainian MP Oleskyi Goncherenko rejected Russia’s accusations.
Goncherenko clarified that only Russia’s propaganda is behind this.
The Ukrainian government also clarified that it had no role in the drone attack on the Kremlin. This is for a new move by Russia. A Ukrainian presidential official has said that Russia is targeting a large-scale terrorist attack in Ukraine. This drone strike argument is part of that. Ukraine’s war is defensive. “It is not Ukraine’s policy to attack Russian systems on their soil,” the spokesman said.
Meanwhile, a video of a large amount of smoke rising from the Kremlin is circulating on social media. The Kremlin has made it clear that Russia has every right to retaliate. With this, it has been indicated that Russia is preparing for a severe attack. Presidential spokesman Mykhailo Podoliak said Ukraine would never attack the Kremlin with drones.
“So we know that the military problems will not end,” Podoliak said. Russia has already announced that it has full influence over their airspace. So there are many people who are skeptical about such an attack.
