Moscow alleges Ukraine flew two drones toward the Kremlin last night in what it claims was an attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin. Ukraine denied any involvement and accused Moscow of a "trick." CNN’s Nic Robertson has the report. #CNN #News
Russia claims Ukraine targeted Putin in an attempted drone attack on the Kremlin
The fact that Russia thinks they can attack a country but can’t be attacked on their homeland is baffling
@Amouzesh Fur stay scared sweetie😉.. FJB
@Georgie Russia 🇷🇺 🤖
@Georgie you don’t have to hear, you picked the video
So Russia foiled a drone flying straight at the Kremlin all over Moscow, past all those surrounding air defense’s, then straight and level at the Kremlin, then suddenly exploding safely above the Kremlin with no visible weapon taking it out and no one getting hurt. Got it.
@GuyB How would I know? I don’t even know if the video is authentic, but you would have to analyze the video, and be an expert in various things, to determine the shape/size of the object (if that’s even possible). I watched the video on a tiny screen on a tiny phone. Maybe it’s real. Maybe there’s more to come. I wasn’t THERE. I don’t know any more than anybody else: just offering my two cents…
@SKEMTHEORY You don’t need to be an expert to compare the approximate size of that drone to the teeny tiny little men walking up the roof of the dome beneath them. Those drones are at least a few metres wing span. A bit of common sense will get you there.
@GuyB If you say so…
@GuyB What did you identify the object as (using your less-than-expert video-enhancing techniques)? I was not able to see the object at all on my phone. I even seem to recall they circled it with a red circle at some point. Usually, a red circle means you can barely see the thing, if you can see it at all…
@SKEMTHEORY There is your problem, watch it on a large PC screen like I am.
So Russia has all the right to attack Ukraine but Ukraine cannot attack Russia? Mind-boggling to say the least.
It was a special military operation big difference.
What are you even talking about? Russia didn’t “allow” Ukraine to send drones to blow up Putin, nor did Ukraine “allow” Russia to invade it. Russia and Ukraine aren’t playing a friendly game of tennis: it’s called “war”.
The guy cheats at hockey watch videos of him its hilarious
@Amanda Hsu wishful thinking on your part, there is cross party support for Ukraine in the USA and certainly here in the UK
It’s not an assassination attempt. It’s a special afterlife relocation plan.
😂😂 u get post of the day 👏
Tell your audience what ever you want them to think buddy you could probably fool most but not all
@Roger Reyes Can you cry harder, I’m trying to feast on salty tears but I’m not satisfied yet
i acccept biden in much the same way democrats accepted Trump and got over it. =P
😂
An assassination attempt where the target wasn’t around? Okay
@Lulzicon na
@Lulzicon Only months? Seems like years!
@Alex yeah? Why would they aim for a flagpole on top of a dome 😂 whole thing seems more like done by an antiwar group or some bizarre kgb false flag
@Lulzicon likely aimed for the building but slightly missed the target. Just like with the bridge back in October Thay hit half the bridge but did not destroy the whole section entirely.
Russia: “We now have the right to retaliate against a country retaliating against our initial attack.”
@Independent LOL, nice justified 😂
Do you really want us to believe that a drone left Ukraine and flew undetected to the Kremlin and landed on the roof 😂
According to rumor, they were switchblade drones. Those fit into a backpack. They are actually pretty badass (the U.S. Military uses them), and one of the reasons why is they are easy to transport/position within proximity of the target.
@paul hopkins Russian bot.
@David Ngo western bot
Russia would NEVER lie about something as pretext for their own evil acts
The video that I’ve seen of a drone exploding soon after missing a Russian flag on a government building in Moscow—That show obvious evidence that it was a false flag operation. I used to be a pro video camera operator (much of it hand-held). It was NOT from a security camera but was hand-held by either a pro or semi-pro camera operator (or exceptionally good amateur). In addition, the slight camera movement throughout was extremely consistent. Even right after the explosion, the camera operator did not even seem to flinch, as if he or she was expecting that exact kind of explosion in that exact place during the videotaping. In other words, it seems extremely likely that the Russian authorities themselves planned and carried out the drone “attack”.
@The Honored Mahdi Iraq weapons of mass destruction is still fresh in our memory, it was presented in UN! The prove was in the tube!
Whenever someone taps the top of my hat I fall down in agony
My condolences to the family of the drone.
Bahahaha
😂😂😂😂
Ha ha ha ha, YOU MAKE MY DAY🤣
“Do as I say, not as I do”
– Mad Vladdy Putin.
It looks more like firecracker to a deadly drone. Even flag post looks intact.
@Tarmo Alaspää That’s a disproportion between cost and benefit. Making your dominant and strong country (at least that’s how they portray themselves and give literally anything for that narrative) look vulnerable and almost amateurish. It damages the peoples trust in Russian defence capabilities and that was always a important matter for Putin, to appear strong and safe. No leader wants to destabilize a country like that.
@Julian Putin just can’t help himself.
What I heard is that they were switchblade drones, which crash into you and blow up (they are equipped with a warhead).
@Julian I agree. Supposedly they were switchblade drones, and our own military uses them, and it shouldn’t be surprising if Ukraine has U.S. weapons and/or help. Switchblade drones are actually pretty badass, so as a war-time tactic, I don’t think it was a bad plan, even if it ultimately failed (supposedly because the [swarm of] drones were either shot down or electronically jammed). I think this was more-likely an actual-attempt on Putin’s life, and let’s be honest: Democrats would have jumped for joy if it had succeeded.
That drone was flying like 50 MPH. If the defence of one of the most protected people in the world can’t stop that thing then there is something seriously wrong with their air defence.
or possible flew from next to the Kremlin. Does it have to come from Ukraine?
The fact that their air defences weren’t trying to shoot it down even after it was visually spotted is telling. False flag for sure.
@武當山 The United States has been using drones for a long time. The first US drones were used in their war with Vietnam almost 60 years ago. They didn’t have real time video and were mostly fire and forget. They also tested a drone with a still picture camera on board during World War II. Also, Germany was using a drone called the V-2 against England during that war. Light drones which can hover, such as quadcopters are new to the battlefield (at least that we know of), and that Ukraine is making full and effective use of off-the-shelf drones for those purposes shows a good level of ingenuity and creativity.
The drone should get a medal of honor. Condolences to the dr9nes family.
Not there, sends self attack, declaration of escalation….. I love how they think they are outsmarting the world but they are out here looking like a 5 year old with a marker saying it’s not me with their name on the wall.
lol they’re acting like they haven’t been trying to kill zelenskyy this whole damn time 😂😂😂
Putin probably thinks this is just a game, that he can’t actually be reached

They already had a couple of guys on the roof to put out any fire😂😂
Sounds like the took a note out of America’s play book.
God bless you!
@Phill McKill Precisely! I know it sounds like a joke, but that is apparently exactly what happened. By the way, as I understand, that building is an important old historic structure, and even a small explosion of a small drone might cause a fire that could spread, perhaps. The Russians, however, failed to coordinate the location of the recording camera and the location of the two men. OOPS! Well, nobody’s perfect. It may have been a rush job by the Russians.
Whoever is doing this , good luck and wish you nothing but success next time. The entire world will be waiting for good news from you.
They didn’t even know if he would be home or not. Not to mention they could have flown it through his bedroom window rather than just hit the roof; furthermore the options to hit him in the open would be much more simple.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
