“Russia Staged Putin ‘Assassination’ to Justify Mass Mobilization: ISW”
TOTALLY AGREE!
Greatly appreciate your Comment #15.
There would be little motivation for Ukraine to change there approach to the Russian invasion no!
Ukraine has continually honored the mutually agreed upon borders during this entire Russian invasion that were designated by ‘The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances’ comprised of political agreements signed at the OSCE conference in Budapest, Hungary, on 5 December 1994, which provided security assurances by its signatories relating to the accession of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
These three memoranda of ‘The Budapest Memorandum’ were originally accepted and signed by three nuclear powers: the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States. China and France gave individual assurances in separate documents.
HOWEVER, IT IS NOW PAINFULLY OBVIOUS PUTIN DID NOT HONOR HIS COMMITMENTS WHEN HE INVADED UKRAINE IN 2014 AND REFUSES TO HONOR THE BUDAPEST ACCORD BY HIS INVASION THAT BEGAN IN 2022.
IMO, the claim for Putin/Kremlin attack is to:
win back support of the R.F. population;
end citizen sabotage of Russian military installations & munitions manufacturing;
as well as build support of conscriptions with Russian patriotism.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and thirty fourth day of the war.
Day 434: May 3
The day started with another Ukrainian drone attack on Crimea. In the aftermath of a successful attack, Ukrainians destroyed a huge oil reservoir. The square area of the fire reached up to 1200 square meters, which is even bigger than what we saw in Sevastopol. The latest reports indicate that this time the firefighters managed to localize the fire and prevent it from spreading to other reservoirs. It was reported that there were no casualties.
This is the second major hit on the main Russian fuel storage that can be used for the Black Sea Fleet. Some analysts are saying that after a series of unsuccessful attempts to strike the fleet directly, Ukrainians decided to switch their focus to something that the fleet cannot operate without, in this case, fuel. Yesterday satellite footage of the oil depot in Sevastopol became available, and it showed that 10 reservoirs were destroyed, 6 may have sustained damage due to proximate fire, and 6 remained fully intact and ready to use.
However, the biggest news by far is that today Moscow was hit by 2 drones. And the explosions were recorded not on the outskirts but in the heart of Moscow – Kremlin. The footage shows how a drone hits the dome and explodes. Later, Russians sent some inspectors to evaluate the damage and collect the remnant of the drone for analysis. The building did not sustain big damage and there were no casualties. Russian sources immediately declared that Ukrainians conducted an assassination attempt on Putin, while the Ukrainian side quickly responded by claiming that they are not responsible for the attack.
But this is only the beginning. Today another drone attack was conducted on the airfield in Bryansk. It was reported that at least one plane was damaged. It is possible that this was the response to the recent massive missile strike, where Russians used aviation to launch Kh-101 missiles to divert attention from Caliber rockets. If true, the goal of this drone attack may be to force Russians to relocate their fighter bombers away from Ukraine so that Ukrainian air defense has more time to react in the future.
A drone attack was also conducted in Feodosia. Local officials stated that Russian air defense successfully shot down an aerial object, so the goal of the strike was to either divert attention from the main strike on the oil depot or it was a part of the continuous effort to check the most current disposition and capability of the Russian air defense on the peninsula.
Yesterday, a series of explosions was once again recorded in Crimea. Another drone attack targeted various objects in Sevastopol, Simferopol, and Evpatoria. In Sevastopol, explosions and shootings were heard near the bay with the Black Sea Fleet. In Simferopol, the explosion occurred on the territory of the Russian Special Operators base. And in Evpatoria, explosions were heard near the Russian airfield. Local officials later reported that air defense successfully shot down an aerial object.
There was also a major derailment on the territory of the Russian Federation. The derailment happened in the Bryansk region. Russian sources reported that Ukrainian reconnaissance and sabotage groups got deep inside the region and blew up an important railway connection more than 100 km behind the border. As a result, 2 locomotives that were transporting oil and other fuel got derailed and caused a fire.
Overall, it looks like Ukrainians are trying to achieve two major objectives. First of all, by targeting the areas close to Russian airfields, Ukrainians are attempting to force Russians to relocate their fighter bombers away from the Ukrainian border in order to increase the distance and, therefore, the time for the reaction for the next missile strikes. And secondly, Ukrainians have focused on creating massive shortages of fuel on the fronts. It looks like ammunition depots are more decentralized, so it takes more strikes to cause shortages on the front. The fuel can help to take out Russian tanks and other heavy machinery as well, and it can be achieved quite cheaply. As we have seen, instead of doubling down on HIMARS strikes, Ukrainians used several cheap Chinese drones to eliminate up to 40 thousand tons of fuel in one attack. The continuation of such strikes will significantly undermine the ability of Russians to defend against the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
No assassination attempt.
Russia shot down 2 drones.
During the shoot down of one drone, 2 men were on the ladder-catwalk leading up to the flag pole:

That drone had just flown past the flag pole that is situated above the Kremlin dome, when the drone was hit by a defense system.
Back story:
A careless, dilettante, thoughtless Ukrainian businessman, Volodymyr Yatsenko, announced a contest back in April:
“Competition for drone manufacturers to land a drone on Red Square in Moscow during Victory Day on May 9th”

Skynews did a screen by screen showing of this event. Very interesting to actually see the men on the roof. ..also the blast frame by frame.
What the heck were those guys doing on the roof, just as the drone was striking?
Controlling the drones, or according to some chatter in Russia arguing over the right flag to run up the pole. (Russian, Soviet, or Z.)
The idea Ukraine tried to assassinate a president they knew wasn’t at the Kremlin by flying a slow moving drone 400 miles is just so stupid only a vatnik could swallow it.
That's rich considering that you're supporting THIS:
Except EEE is right and you are a bloodthirsty wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“The countries of Northern Europe support Ukraine’s initiative for a just and sustainable peace based on Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
God bless the countries of Northern Europe.
It was a Putin false flag event.

“A small fire caused by drone debris also occurred in the Pechersk district of Kyiv. The fire in a 4-storey building in the Solomianskyi district has been contained. Structures on the area of 150 square metres were destroyed.
“It was a Putin false flag event.”
Absolutely!

Ukraine confirms shot down drone over Kyiv was not a Russian drone but their own Ukrainian TB2 drone.
My non-support of Ukraine doesn’t equal support of Russia.
