Russia believes that the United States was behind an attempt on the life of President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin yesterday. Footage has captured the moment that a drone hit the government building causing it to be set ablaze.
It is not believed that the Russian president was in the building at the time of the attack. Fuming officials have accused the US of drawing up targets for the two Ukrainian drones to strike.
According to the Mirror, the allegation was made by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskovc as he promised retaliation for the "terrorist" during a press briefing. The Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, said "Russia likely staged this attack in an attempt to bring the war home to a Russian domestic audience and set conditions for a wider societal mobilisation”.
