Putin Attacked: How drone attack on Kremlin a big win for Ukraine, Zelensky sent ‘assassination’ message to Putin

Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time of the attack

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti that Putin was not in the Kremlin at the time and was operating from the Novo-Ogaryovo residence. The official office of the Russian President is called the Kremlin. The Kremlin said that President Vladimir Putin is safe and working without any change in his schedule. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine on the allegations. The Kremlin did not present any evidence relating to the alleged incident. The Kremlin has said it views the incident as an attempt to assassinate Putin ahead of Russia’s Victory Day on May 9. Kremlin spokesman Peskov said the military parade would take place that day as per its schedule.

How the invasion of Ukraine sent a message to Putin

Experts say the Ukrainian drone attack on the Kremlin was a symbolic one, not an attempt to assassinate Putin. This will definitely have a psychological effect on Russia and Putin. Hans Christensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project of the Federation of American Scientists, said the attack was intended to strike fear into Putin’s heart. Putin will also worry about his own safety from this attack. This attack has been done just before the Russian Victory Parade to be held on 9 May. Ukrainian President Zelensky is also scheduled to visit Finland, which has just become a member of the anti-Russian military alliance NATO. In such a situation, it shows that the time of the attack is deliberately chosen, so that its message goes far.

Ukraine showed its power to Putin

With the drone attacks on the Kremlin, Ukraine has shown it can strike inside Russia. So far Ukraine has not attempted an attack inside Moscow. However, Ukrainian drones were definitely seen around Moscow. The attack on Moscow shows that Ukraine still has the strength to retaliate. But, this time the attack has taken place on the Kremlin, the official residence and office of Russian President Putin. In such a situation, this drone attack of Ukraine is being seen as a direct challenge to Russia.

Fear of retaliation from Russia

Russia is one of the most powerful countries in the world. He has such weapons, which can destroy the whole of Ukraine in the blink of an eye. In such a situation, after the attack on Putin, the concern of Russia’s retaliatory action is now troubling. Russia has already said that it reserves the right to retaliate with every weapon in its arsenal if its soil is attacked. In such a situation, if Russia attacks, it may be difficult for Ukraine to defend it. Ukraine is already at the mercy of the West. Almost his entire army and weapons are over. In such a situation, a single attack by Russia can become a cause of crisis for the whole of Ukraine including Zelensky.
