Russian authorities accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attempting to attack the Kremlin with two drones overnight in an effort to assassinate President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin decried the alleged attack attempt as a “terrorist act” and said Russian military and security forces stopped the drones before they could strike.
In a statement carried by Russian state-run news agencies, it said no casualties took place.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti that Putin wasn’t in the Kremlin at the time and was working from the Novo-Ogaryovo residence.
The Kremlin added that Putin was safe and his schedule was unchanged.
There were no immediate comment from Ukrainian authorities. The Kremlin didn’t present any evidence from the reported incident, and its statement included few details.
Tass quoted the statement as saying that the Kremlin considered the development to be a deliberate attempt on Putin’s life ahead of the Victory Day that Russia celebrates on May 9.
Kremlin spokesman Peskov said a military parade would take place as scheduled thatday.
Russia retains the right to respond “when and where it sees fit,” the Tass report said, quoting the statement.

Let’s hope it wasn’t an ill advised covert op like nord stream. Biden did proclaim publicly that Putin cannot be allowed to remain in power. I think it’s about time the same is finally decided by the voters about him.
He has not seen iniquity in Jacob. Neither has he seen perverseness in Israel. Hashem his God is with him. The shout of a king is among them.

מספרי הקודש. ורבים השבו, כי הוא: ממקום אחר וזה איננו נכון, כי לא נקרא השם מקום בכל ספרי הקודש, רק נקרא מעון, שהוא לעולם גבוה. וקדמונינו זל קראוהו מקום, בעבור שכל מקום מלא כבודו. ועוד, מה טעם למלת אחר.
Behold, there is no mention of the Name [of G-d] in this scroll, and it is one of the holy books! Many have responded that it is [mentioned]: “[relief and salvation will arise for the Jews] from another place” [mimakom acher]. (Esther 4:14) This is incorrect, because Hashem is not known as Makom in any of the holy books, only as Maon [Residence], which is always lofty. Our Sages of blessed memory called Him Makom [“place”], since all places are filled with his honour. Further, what would be the meaning of the word “another” [in mimakom acher]?
If putin didn’t start that military operation, you will be at the 7 dose obligatory to make any move, we, Jews will be forever grateful to Russia!
Don’t believe a word of it. Perhaps assassination attempt by Russians would be true. And his death would be great for all.
Rtt : take a day off and go get a brain.
I hope this finally wakes up the Russians to take off their gloves and finish off Zelensky and his Nazi Azov soldiers.
Video looks staged
wow NATO is really escalating this war in the name of democracy, despite Zelesnky being a classic dictator by locking up opponents, stopping oppisition press, kidnapping young men off the street and suspending elections.
Finally Putin gonna take off his velvet gloves,and once and for all finish off those filthy Nazi Ukrainian beasts.
Whoever knows World War Two history,is aware that those Ukrainian beast were a thousand times worse than the Germans.
cant wait for ukraine to be levelled!!
Wherever these nazis are, they will be found and eliminated, once for good.
I hope it’s true finally y only Russia should attack Ukraine y not the opposite? Good job zelensky
Slava Ukraine
About people here saying Putin should take off his gloves I have news for you that he took if off already on nothing happened he’s losing the war with hashems help that’s a the way to be a bully and invade a other country his army is dead and done
@are roster @chugibugi they are not just western ukrainians, there are also the ones that are dictating and pushing the kiev regime to commit those attrocities.
This happens to be 2023, we’re not fighting WWII. Zelensky is Jewish and was elected overwhelmingly by the Ukrainian people.
And to rewrite history to imply that Russia has always been affectionate towards us is bonkers. Millions of Jews fled Russia when they were able.
The Kiev terrorist regime, seized an entire state, holds Ukrainians hostages, threatens the security of Russia, Europe, and the whole world. Western nations which are pumping Zelensky’s government with weapons are now “direct accomplices” to terrorist activities. Bandera worshipers! Neo nazis! There is no peace talk of any kind possible. This kiev regime must eradicated!
probably a false flag operation
they were testing kremlin air defences
I cannot believe there are people here defending neo-Nazis/Bandera lovers aka the Ukrainian PEOPLE and the government, Putin is being stopped from de Nazifying Ukraine and NATO is a threat to Russia as they are brushed up against Russia’s border, if NATO stopped supplying weapons to Ukraine this war would be over within a week and so many people’s lives can go on. Stop listening to Ukrainian disinformation, they have had 200,000 Ukrainians killed in 1 year. Just de Nazify and stop working with NATO.
Dear YWN,
The more you editorialise stories and turn as many as possible into brain-dead clickbait, the more the comments on this site will descent into the wackiness exemplified by the comments above.
There was a time you could come here for kosher news and reasonable comments … good old days.
Ashy, in what those comments are “wacky”? You don’t mind neo nazis proudly wearing swastikas, receiving all those billions and weaponry, and yet always complaining? This money is not even going to Ukraine population!
whoever did this, I am scrolling, did Russians claim already that it was an “unprovoked attack on an innocent murderer?”
