Ukraine updates: 'We didn't attack Putin,' says Zelenskyy
dw.com ^ | May 3, 2023

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated denial of his country's responsibility for an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin, which Moscow says targeted President Vladimir Putin.

Russian officials said Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time of the attack.

"We don't attack Putin, or Moscow, we fight on our territory," Zelenskyy told a news conference in Helsinki, where he is attending a meeting with Nordic leaders.

The Ukrainian president suggested that Russia staged the attack because "Putin needs to motivate his people" after a shortage of Russian victories in the ongoing war.

He said Kyiv will leave it to a war tribunal to determine responsibility for the alleged attack.

Ukraine presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak had earlier sent out a note to various media outlets, saying Kyiv had "nothing to do with the drone attacks on the Kremlin."

"We do not attack the Kremlin because, first of all, it does not resolve any military tasks," the Reuters news agency quoted him as saying.

Podolyak warned that Russia would use the attack "to justify massive strikes on Ukrainian cities, on the civilian population, on infrastructure facilities" in coming days, the Associated Press quoted him as saying.

He added to Reuters that the attack "clearly indicates the preparation of a large scale terrorist provocation by Russia in the coming days."

Russia claimed it thwarted a drone attack on the Kremlin overnight, which it claims was a Ukrainian attempt to target Putin.

Sure and we didn't blow up the Nord Stream pipelines.

I thought Russia was losing the war. What is the little dictator afraid of?

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated denial of his country's responsibility for an alleged drone attack on the Kremlin, which Moscow says targeted President Vladimir Putin."

Because he, or someone advised him, that targeted assassination is a door that opens both ways.

And before the usual shills show up with "Putin did it first", here's my middle finger.

Well there’s always been a group of Ukrainians who purposely go into Russia for their protests and any other venture they want to stir up inside Russia. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same group. Rather like Antifah here in the states.

Yeah, well, now the US allies are blaming Russia after it was proven the US did it. Everything about this war is so full of BS. The leak revealed that both sides have lost their best troops and equal numbers of around 150K each. And that Ukraine has lost quite a bit of the vehicles and artillery we sent them already. We are sending in more each day. And we have “Military Advisors” in country helping them. Its just a matter of days or weeks before we commit our own troops. But back to the drone attack? Did Ukraine do it? I suspect yes with the help of the CIA. The US wants to get into this war, they need to because our ability to hold other nations hostage by sanctions and embargos is slipping away as every other country sees us as weak under Boden

Ukraine ,lucky Putin is in charge

Medvedev urged to kill Zelensky Alexey Podvolotskyi 03 May 2023 at 21:23 Президент России Владимир Путин и председатель КНР Си Цзинь Пин на встрече во время совместного заявления в Кремле. Москва, медведев дмитрий Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage must be eliminated, Dmitry Medvedev believes Photo: Vladimir Andreev © URA.RU news from the story Ukraine tried to assassinate Putin The attack by two Ukrainian drones on the Kremlin leaves no choice but to "physically eliminate" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his entourage. This opinion was made by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. “There are no options left other than the physical elimination of Zelensky and his cabal,” Medvedev wrote in his telegram channel . He stressed that this situation developed after the attack by two Ukrainian drones on the Moscow Kremlin. The presence of Vladimir Zelensky alive is not at all necessary for the future signing of the surrender of Ukraine, since there will be any other Ukrainian politician who will perform this function, Medvedev concluded.

“Could this be another CIA operation a la Nordstream???”

Bet on it... War popularity is starting to wain and demand for arms is dropping, so it is time to refuel the fire.

It is getting far too predictable.

Number one, it's obviously either a Russian attempt to kill him, or more likely, yet another false flag by Putin's stooges. Hitler started WWII in Europe, but also used "vengeance weapons" against those he attacked.
Earlier false flag, a.k.a. of course Russia did it:
Russian Suicide led by Vlad the Imploder, cont'd:
