The tension grows even more between Russia and Ukraine after the alleged attack on the Kremlin that Russia admits as an assassination attempt on Putin. It all began when a huge ball of fire illuminated the dome of the Russian presidential palace on Tuesday night. The images, which can be seen in the main video of this news, show the moment in which a drone exploded a few meters from the Kremlin, the center of political power in Russia.

Moscow has directly accused Ukraine of this attack with up to two drones whose fragments fell inside the presidential compound. From the Kremlin they affirm that their special services managed to destroy them without causing damagebut they insist on that the objective was to assassinate Vladimir Putin. Instead, they acknowledge that the president was not there at the time.

From Russia they already speak of this event as “a planned terrorist attack and an attempt on the life of the President of the Russian Federation, perpetrated on the eve of Victory Day and the military parade on May 9.” So much so that this alleged attack marks a before and after in the war and it has already provoked direct threats towards the Ukrainian leader.

Kremlin sources threaten reprisals. Former President Dmitry Medvedev, Chairman of the Russian Security Council calls for the physical removal of the Ukrainian president for this act. “Zelensky is not even necessary to sign the unconditional surrender,” he said, adding: “As is known, Hitler did not sign it either.”

However, Zelenski himself has categorically denied in his meeting with the Nordic countries that they have tried to commit this assassination: “We have not attacked Putin or Moscow, we are fighting on our territory, We don’t have any weapons for it.”

The Ukrainian head of state insists that it is a false flag attack that Moscow has created to motivate its population to continue supporting the war and He assures that his only intention with Putin is to take him to court. This was stated at a joint press conference with the leaders of Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland in the capital of the latter country: “We have not attacked Putin, we leave it to a court”, Zelenski asserted in reference to Ukrainian efforts for the international community to find mechanisms to prosecute Putin for the military aggression against Ukraine.

This attack occurs in a context of growing tension, and after Moscow prohibit drones from flying over the area and in the run-up to Victory Day in Russia, the feast of May 9, with a great military parade next to the Kremlin itself.

The United States, for the moment, has not ruled on this incident, although the White House recalls that the information provided by the Kremlin it has to be picked up with tweezers.

In fact, the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has questioned it and has affirmed that, “like everything that comes out of the Kremlin”, it is necessary to take it with caution. The head of US diplomacy has thus avoided “validating” the Russian accusations. “We just don’t know,” he said, during a meeting organized by the newspaper ‘The Washington Post’ and in which he called not to “comment or speculate” without knowing “the facts”.
